Dick Jennings Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I thought that this would be a great forum for all the "retired" drum corps folks would voice their opinions on new and old corps. Hope more will participate Quote
Navillus WP Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) A word to the wise: "Old Skoolers" are not aways received with warm acceptance on this website, which dominated by modern-era drum corps fans and particiants. It's not unusual to draw snide comments targeting anyone who is less-than-enthusiastic about what DCI has become (ex. "superiority of band instruments and Bb bugles"). There is an Alumni forum on this website for those of us who were encouraged to "get back on the Old-Fart Bus." Edited January 6, 2012 by Navillus WP Quote
garfield Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 See "The DCI Birthday Party" thread. I know you'll find one old drum corp guy there. But he doesn't seem to be too happy these days. Quote
BSBari79 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 All "old" drum corps people still luv watching drum corps..........some may not agree to the principles it has become compared to "years ago".But things change for the future and so does drum corps......I am just glad when I marched it only costed $300 compared to what it costs today....................................and I fulfilled my dream making it to the top 12!

jonnyboy Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I'm confused....isn't that what DCP is already about? Quote

BRASSO Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Come join us Grumpy Old Farts Who Don't Know Anything in the Alumni Corps Discussions. When we say a " download " to an old fart, our first thought is that its probably a mishap in our pants. Edited January 9, 2012 by BRASSO Quote
Piper Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Dinosaurs are pretty common on DCP, in fact they might even be in the majority. When they get upset everybody knows about it. Quote
