Hmmmm - noone got offended =P

OMG You did not! lol --- I marched Pirates in '04 =P ----- That was a good show ---- and the crowd loved it. Screw Cavies on dat one --- they wouldn't "perform it" --- it would just be a bunch of the same drill re-usage that they use every year, box squares, twirling, maybe some triangle groupings -- but yeah --- zzzzzzz... If anyone is going to take my Pirates show away - its gonna be SCV --- they are the only "ACTIVE" corps that knows how to "perform" a show ---- when I say perform --- I mean, show-type performance, not just a bunch of random formations.

Haha - joking! *Bando comment ALERT**** Ill drop and do 100 push-ups...

What a X-DCI Member would give for one more performance... you may imagine. I will stay up all night making drill charts and memorizing sets... skip meals to practice sets... use my breaks to get in shape with pushups....

I live in Broken Arrow, OK - where the show is tomorrow night - interested in joining --> will play mello/trumpet. 2 Years of Div. 1 Experience. Anyone know of openings? BlueStars Still have a hole?

Kids as young as 15 have no business trying to raise $1500 a year... sometimes only the rich can afford DCI as well. And most college kids will sacrifice anything to march DCI.. including their own futures and schooling... I think thats worth going for profit - and evening out these fees/costs.

Im sure the members of DCI would disagree with that... and the staff which are underpaid... $$$ = more talent = better musicians = better staff as well = better shows = better products = more viewers/fans = more $$$$

If I only had a few million dollars to begin broadcasting Drum Corps competitions all around the world on prime time --- on Fox or something --- I would instantly increase profits 10x over --- and noone would ever want to watch American Idol - it would be - vote for your favorite drum corps america! I mean seriously - you watch this stuff on YouTube? Its not just America thats great, there is some awesome stuff out in the world --- and SOMEONE Needs to start the engine on this. Because when this happens - and people see how awesome this stuff is (which I have yet to find a person uninterested) - our fan sizes will increase from 3 million fans to 30+ million... Seriously - you would think Richard Branson or someone would look at DCI and say --- why not? DCI needs to be on the radio, DCI needs to be on TV, DCI NEEDS TO FORM ITS OWN GENRE OF MUSIC!!!! What kind of music you like? D&B Corps. Seriously - listening to BD in the morning revs my day. SCV/Phantom make me happy. Cavaliers 2002 Video stuns me in amazement - Southwind's show last year makes me say "Dammmmn...." - I liked their ending. BlueCoats freaking were fun to watch/listen to in 2004. Madison 1997... need I SAY MORE!!!! So when do you think DCI will become famous and MAKE MONEY rather than kids sacrificing college money and careers for the sake of... well... too much to say, but you'll understand if you've marched DCI.
