washingtoncorpsfan Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Right now, drum corps finds itself in a time of unrest and disagreement. You need not look any further than our boards to see that the community is split nearly in half. Some of this is coming from the direction of certain corps have taken. No one seems to be able to agree on anything these corps do; but then there are the ones that everyone loves. The ones that people can get behind no matter what place their in or how good their chances are at the world title. Which corps, past or present, have you noticed seem to NEVER get any flack at all. From what I've seen, it's the Santa Clara Vanguard. Old school fans, new school fans; seasoned vets, brand new rookies...everyone loves the Vanguard. I've seldom seen a discouraging word thrown their way. Quote
NR_Ohiobando Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) SCV and Troopers are the biggest examples I can think of. (I'm not saying Madison Scouts because of some stuff I've seen here recently) Edited July 3, 2008 by NR_Ohiobando Quote
RichCranford82 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Seems to me Phantom would be a good choice, don't know too many folks who have a problem with the Regiment and for old-timers like me I still feel bad that after all those close second-place finishes the one time they won they had to share. Really?!? Edited July 3, 2008 by RichCranford82 Quote
BlueStarsBari Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 i would say vanguard, troop, and blue stars. Quote
washingtoncorpsfan Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Oh, yeah! Phantom and Troop. I forgot about them. Yeah, they're both great and everyone seems to love 'em. I wish I was alive during the 70's and 80's when The Vanguard and Phantom would go head to head rather often for that 1st place title. Quote
4MalletJim Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Seems to me Phantom would be a good choice, don't know too many folks who have a problem with the Regiment. I know plenty who have a problem with the visual package. Glassmen never get any fuss. Quote
MN DCI Fan Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I'd say that Vanguard and Troop get almost universal love here on DCP. I don't recall anyone pouring buckets of haterade on them. It should be noted, however, that being critical of a corps doesn't necessarily mean that one doesn't like or love them. Folks on DCP can sometimes be far too quick to pigeon-hole other posters as "haters" merely because they critcize a corps, or some aspect of their show. I appreciate it when people can "keep it real" as it were. But then again, there are plenty of posters whose posting history belies any statements they may make to the contrary regarding their supposed objectivity... Quote
FTNK Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I guess you weren't around for the PR brass vs. Cadets brass flamewar. SCV is a good one. I know I loves em. Quote
gottalovit Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Some corps that don't receive much negative press are SCV, Troopers, Colts, Southwind, Impulse, Jersey Surf and Velvet Knights. Quote
