I REALLY hope they have improved since BOA this fall or I am going to be incredibly dissapointed in this. I will give it a chance but I'm very cautious right now... I believe the two events listed showing Flomarching are a test. They have not improved at all since BOA. This gives them the opportunity to show DCI what kind of production capabilities they have. WGI productions have been terrible. DCI has three years left on a contract with their current provider for all the major DCI events. My predication is that Flomarching will fail in their attempt to get DCI to switch. We will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right. I just watched the Indianapolis WGI Percussion finals today and was very disappointed with the video presentation as it seemed amateurish. Surely, SURELY DCI is not going to entrust our beautiful drum corps competitions to this poor caliber of camera work.

We are so spoiled with the productions from Tom Blair...anything else is an amateur showcase... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckham Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 After my experience with Flo for the BOA season I am COMPLETELY ok with DCI sticking with the service they used last year. DCI is a small enough organization and there are enough people on these forums with connections that we can surely flood the people in charge with our feelings on this issue, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier there were two DCI events listed in June - and now they aren't there. Is it too early to celebrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) FloMarching is covering WGI and they're dropping the ball once again. Asked some out of state friends and others if they were having the same issues as I was and they are. Independent World feed is unwatchable right now. Video quality looks like a 240p Youtube video on HD, the audio cuts out or is completely out of sync and sounds like it is coming through a tin can, Guess FloMarching is too chicken #### to put a review system on their Facebook page. video is skipping, stopping, and stuttering all over the place, and the quality wasn't all that great in the first place. There were event pages for DCI at one point on their site, but those have since been removed. I really hope so, because it doesn't seem like anything has gotten better since their BOA coverage this fall which was absolute garbage. Here is to hoping DCI made the right choice.

Pretty much every marching arts feed I watched until FloMarchinf has seemingly taken over has been perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI Live had it's issues but they mostly figured them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
