Which State has the highest DCI marching members? Part II

[myopinion]

PLEASE ONLY CURRENT OR FORMER MARCHING MEMBERS ONLY!

I was just wondering which State has given DCI the most marching members? Is it California because they have the most corps? Is it Texas being the largest State in the Continental US? Or is it some place like Ohio, who seem to be everywhere ( you can find someone who has lived in Ohio just about everywhere you go). Or is it a State that you wouldn't think about having a large DCI population?

If a Non- US State voter ( please vote for where your corps was located) I know this might alter the numbers a bit.

I know this will not be scientific, but interesting none-the-less.

Show your support for your State!

This poll will tell us more about DCP'ers, than it will as to which state has the most former and current marchers in DCI. My guess, the state of Texas has the most current marchers that march in World Class and Open Class DCI today. ( possibly just a tad more than Calif. ) However, in the early years of DCI (in the 70's) the state of Texas probably wasn't even in the top 10 of the list of states with the most DCI participation. I would think even the Country of Canada in the 70's had more marcher participants doing DCI back then than did the state of Texas.

It is likely Texas. More than half the world class groups hold at least one camp there.

Yes, this is very dependent on DCP'ers. The sample numbers might not tell the whole story of which state has the highest number of marchers, but this is the only forum to possibly take a true sample of marchers that I can get.

My prediction:

1. California

2. Texas

3. Florida

4. New York

5. Illinois

Not coincidentally, the five most populous states:

1. California

2. Texas

3. Florida

4. New York

I have no way to back this up, but I would think that not a ton of kids from NY march (compared to the population of the state), as it doesn't have a very competitive marching band scene. CA, FL, TX, and IL all do.

Upstate New York has had a VERY competitive HS marching band scene, at least in the 80s and 90s. These bands competed at MBA/BOA and did quite well (West Gennessee, Liverpool, Cicero-North Syracuse, etc. Some of those programs have changed, and others are still pretty good.

The title of this thread makes it sound like you're asking which corps has the most druggies. (Seriously.)

[LoveKathyG]

Seriously bad poll. Indiana isn't even on the list. Where is DCI? Where is BOA? What state consistently has multiple BOA finalists?

Shun.

Perhaps you would like to consult a local eye doctor LoveKathyG?
