    DCI Southeastern Championship (Atlanta) - Saturday, July 27, 2019

    in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

    Posted · Edited by JT76

    I love this show not only because it is so close to me personally but because of the SOA crew showing up in full force, but I will admit the Crown fans make a good showing too. I am so glad that ATL landed this show so close to finals. This is a great warm up to quarters and let’s admit that the new stadium is absolutely amazing for fans. (Price for everything is great!) I imagine we will see some new changes to shows showing up on Saturday as well.

    This show never disappoints! (Except back  in the Dome when there was a flood happening in one the sections when it was a torrential downpour outside years back. 😎 )

    How do the Cadets right the ship?

    To me, it is not a case of The Cadets having an off year. It is the rise of all the corps in their neighborhood that is muddying the waters, an overall good thing. These corps are just darn good these days. 

    I was just thinking this for many of the corps that would be considered having "down years." 

    There are still the more prominant corps, but I feel like the playing field overall is becoming more even because there are so many very good corps.

    Total rewrites?

    in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

    I remember this happening more back in the 80’s and 90’s, but have there been any shows in more modern drum corps where there has been a total rewrite of a show or at least part of a show/song more recently? Even to the point of ditching a song and replacing with another one? Just curious.

    Let’s get back to uniform discussion instead of what’s been going the last few pages...FYI the mods banned the off topic political forums here a long time ago...

    What would VK be wearing these days?

    Considering they used to buck the trend, they would probably were uniforms with shakos. 😜

    What is old is new again?

    ***This is not an "old is better" or "new is better" debate. I like elements of both.***

    I have thought this before, but just like with clothes, sayings, TV shows, music, etc. Things always run in circles. I came across some older shows (if you can call 90's and 00's old...), and wondered at some point would we see a shift to something "new" at some point as things continue to progress and change? What I mean by this is that everything reaches a max at some point and then you start looking for something different. I wonder at what point (if ever) we will see elements of design and music in drum corps pivot like that. Where things that marchers, designers, instructors, etc have never seen on the field live will become "fresh and new" to them and there will be elements of those things show back up in shows again. I am not saying revert back to a complete show like old school drum corps but elements that would be different from some of the trends now or in the future.

    Again, not saying there is anything wrong with the shows today (or in the years past), just wondering if at some point we will see, for instance, props become so normal and maxed out in shows that to do something completely unique and different, we will see shows without props. Or,  will we ever see a visual show designed so focused on drill design that it resembles the early 90's Cavies or even early 00's Cavies. Those are just some thoughts and examples. Do circles of trends even run in designing competitive drum corps/marching shows?
