Returning Olde Pharte Suggestions?
KeithHall replied to JimF-LowBari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I, personally< would like DCI to put the same amount of effort into OC corps as they do with WC corps. The OC corps work just as hard! -
Can someone explain the G Bugles?
KeithHall replied to Hirsbrunner's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Here's something else to consider. Brass manufacturers won't make a lot of money making G horns due to the small amount of corps today. They can make more money by making Bb...more high school and college bands by far! -

People still can't accept this change that happened along time ago? I mean, I accepted that the band Chicago only has three original members in it. The still play better music today much like drum corps is better today than yesterday! -

I just remember them having a small horn line and drum line that year but the quality was so great! -
Were Charioteers the smallest corps to make top 25 at DCI Championships in 1972?

US Open (Marion, OH)? American-International Open (Butler, PA)? or World Open (Lynn, MA)? WHY?

I just went back and saw they were beat by Bon Bons!

Oops

I looked at the list of 1972 U.S. Open corps and only ONE corps exists today and that corps changed its name and location. The Garfield Cadets are the only corps still in existence as the other 65 corps are no longer with us! Same in 1973 except the Phantom Regiment are the only corps around. The other 74 are gone! 1976 DCI ....... 34 Corps competed in Class A and All Girl and today NONE exist! 47 corps competed in Open Class and only 10 exist today!

In 1972 there were 39 corps competing at the first DCI World Championships today only 7 are still in existence!

So...Will There Be A 2021 Season?
KeithHall replied to 81Freelancers's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
If you can do it "Full Bore," than don't do it at all! I love the activity but if it's not judged or abbreviated season...why do it? Waste of money when you can spend the year building for 2022! -
Are We/DCI Missing the Boat?
KeithHall replied to KeithHall's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
Yes -
As Covid 19 ruined 2020 and is making 2021 different, is there an opportunity for the activity to go back to it's roots...or at least to the 1970's? Now younger fans/members don't know what the summer was like for many corps in the 1970's. Weekends were drum corps and two days a week were rehearsal time. Yes there were ton's of corps and in NY State alone there could be 3 or 4 shows, not including the two or 3 senior shows. A corps could compete in the US Open, American-International Open, NT Open, World Open, Key To The Sea as well as DCI East, DCI Canada, DCI North, DCI Midwest, DCI West. Lets also add Danny Thomas Invitational, Shriner's, Canadian Open, etc. Today, it's only about DCI! DC East and DC Midwest are gone! The smaller corps either had to get bigger and better or go away. Now today, how many corps that were active in 2019 will be active in 2021? 2022? Did DCI leave the dock and keep the smaller corps off the ship? I know they gave them there own DCI Championship at another location but was that fair? It seems the top 12-15 are the only corps that anyone wants to march with and forget the smaller corps. Discuss
