The Future Corps was a group of musicians who performed high-energy instrumental music in the drum and bugle corps style, primarily at the Epcot theme park at Walt Disney World. Made up entirely of brass players and percussionists, members were largely from competitive drum corps. Disney provided the instruments, and the group's futuristic costumes were designed and maintained by the Walt Disney World costume department.
Future Corps first performed on December 1, 1982 and began an almost 18-year run as a full-time atmosphere group (7 shows per day, 5 days per week) until May 2000, when the group became the latest victim of a massive round of entertainment layoffs.
The name Future Corps is simply a word combination of Epcot's Future World and Drum Corps. When group members performed together, outside the Disney parks, they used the name Encorps. The name of the group's one and only album The Future of Corps, was so named as a simple way to get a form of the group's copyrighted name onto their self-produced CD where this studio music originated.
