According to the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 29.5 million people ages 12 and older (10.6% in this age group) had AUD (Alcohol Use Disorder) in the past year. But by all means, let's celebrate a show about alcohol in a youth activity. Patiently awaiting next year's shows: -YOLO - An Escapade In Black Tar Heroin -Let's All Have A Smoke! -Cocaineopolis -Fentanyl - Candy For The Soul (In Three Parts) Back to hibernation for another ten years.

15 year old Snare Drummer in DIV I
Fievel replied to Jeffe77's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
In 1989 I began my freshman year of high school and had just finished my rookie year of drum corps. The younger of those two brothers (E.R.) was a senior at my high school and had long given up drumming. I geeked out one day and approached him and tried to talk to him about it. He politely acknowledged his time in the Bluecoats' snare line but said that was a long time ago. And that was that. Never to be brought up again. Didn't stop me from looking at him with wide-eyed amazement every time I saw him in the halls, though. -
Also Pioneer Indoor. And do not forget that NorthCoast Academy comes from the same organization that once held the Northern Aurora Drum & Bugle Corps (Saginaires).
-
Historically speaking, they went alongside each other hand in hand without a problem for almost the entire 20th century through the various circuits until corps directors began to forbid their members from competing. Really, what was the problem?
-
If your corps ever had a free day in New Orleans, you had memorable moments, and none of them can be posted here.
-
But if they were to leave DCI and just be in an organization with the 7, how could they quantify such a statement? "We are the best of..... EACH OTHER!!! (even though there are 15 or so other groups out there that we will no longer compete against to fully determine whether or not we truly are the best)"

Santa Clara Vanguard 2013

I think when it's a 5th place show from 24 years ago, no matter how awesome it was, that the title of "re-do" does not apply. -
Shows we will never see

Like everyone is saying, great summer for music. Madison - forgot about the almost-falling tenors. Great show. Cadets and Blue Devils - both had "odd" years as far as placements were concerned that summer, but both had fantastic shows. SCV - I still liked the ending with the crosses covering the field (unless that's only in my head... and I'm not too proud to admit that's a possibility) Blue Knights - Was that the summer the corps performed at an NFL game halftime (It was a night game - Sunday Night? Monday Night?) a week or two after Finals? Or was it '92?
-
This isn't from Dayton (both Prelims & Finals are out there, but...), but it's a good shot of that moment. Fast-forward to 4:06 to get into it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pnO-0Fh-L4

Dynasty marching percussion , new colors and chrome !
Fievel replied to rudi man's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Here is the best picture I could find of my drum from '92. What you can't see is the "wonderful" hollow top hoop that had a plastic insert nestled inside it. Cutting edge stuff, indeed. I'll take the current design over the original any day of the week! -
There should have been a third option - "Yes."

Why a "reality"-type show would be horrible for drum corps - Rookie Talent/Games.

The "Music Corps Should Do" thread
Fievel replied to Lance's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Nice Virtual Drumline sounds! SCV in a Beyonce song. Who woulda thunk? -
This should be required viewing for all current (and future) drum line members and instructors.

Did you march your age out?
Fievel replied to Britbones's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Did I march my age-out year? No. I didn't march my final 3 years. Why not? I had marched 5 years with the same corps (Northern Aurora) and was burned out. I thought I was happily done with the activity. Regret? Absolutely. Even though I can smile and say that every decision I've made has lead me to where I am today, that is one decision I'll always regret. -
Remarkable photo of Blue Devils' guard

Subjecting Chatroulette to Drum Corps
Fievel replied to Chris Rohn's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
This is the best thing I've read on this site in years! I love the variety of people and replies! -
That's all I can think of looking at this uniform.

Heh... someone would have to add a visual called The Compton Twist.
