Well, depends on active you want to be. CLASS is a very active league on this forum, but it requires a little bit of time during some points of the season because we schedule all shows ahead of time. If you want to get really into fantasy drum corps, its for you.
If you are looking to get a lot of shows early in the season without the worry of "Will I get accepted?" you could try the unspecified organization.
Those are the two big Drum Corps leagues that you can go for. (I think that I-10 is still Gulf Coast only, correct me if I'm wrong). As far as marching band goes, unspecified also has a league that is set up exactly the same as their drum corps league. MBI only has a championship during Week 3 and that's it at this point. As far as next season, there is high possibility of a new one arising if you want to wait.
Of course, there are many smaller leagues to look at. Just check them out and see what one's right for you.
Its completely possible to still play in college, many of us do it. Heck, some of us have really crazy college schedules. Just play in the morning before class, during lunch, and then in at night before bed and you should do pretty decently. That's what I do. :)
