Ok so I know nothing about DCA except that its pretty much made up of all age corps. I was on the dci Facebook page and they announced that Pittsburgh would have a new corp by the name of mon valley express. I went to their website and got literally no information what-so-ever. From what I've learned on dcp is that they're probably competing in open class and that they used to be a DCA corp. Could anyone tell me more about them please? I'm considering auditioning but I need to know if they were any good and why they weren't active for a while and all that stuff. Thanks in advance!

My old band director supported it all the way. He'd take all of the students to DCI shows. My new director actually marched and I believe he said he's judged too. So yes, band directors support DCI
Get her the arban's trombone book. That book helps with lyrical technique, scales, tonguing, long tones, lip slurs, range expansion and so much more. Its a really great book. I got mine used online for $12!
It really sucks that they're inactive. There was a guy at my school who worked his but off to make their 2012 tenor line and he only got to march with them for a year. There were a few other kids at my school who auditioned for the 2013 season that made it but then glassmen released the bad news :(
I say amplify it because if you don't, they won't be heard over the hornline and battery. I like that you can heard the pit because they have cool parts
