No More Video Recordings?
FaustianMachine replied to over60's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
What DCI should do is maybe make a Kickstarter for physical media. If they sell X amount, they have the funds to produce the items, and you can sign up for individual items or bundles so they know how many to produce instead of just making a blind bulk order. I'm proud of my physical media collection as a whole; almost 1200 Blu-Rays and almost 200 4Ks, plus a bunch of CDs that I rotate through. In my DCI collection, I've got everything from 2000 forward, having to pay eBay prices for the pre-LOS CDs and the 2009 Blu-Ray. I already dislike how I don't have a physical copy of the 2021 shows, but I'd be upset if that continues into 2022, especially if we're setting up for a historic year for placements on top of the organizations 50th anniversary. -

I did something similar, since I've got a ton of storage on my phone. It's a great way to discover those gems from long ago. -
Pitch me your DCI show concepts.

I would love to see The Cavaliers do a show called Deus Ex Machina, maybe for a big anniversary coming up. It could be an all original music show and combine the feels of XtraordinarY and Machine. Dark, pushing the visual envelope, and very Cavaliers of new and old. It starts out with maybe the corps proper in the old guard uniforms from Machine and one by one we see the guard (dressed in green) break the corps out into something similar to their 2017/2018 uniforms but all black until a big GE reveal where the chest piece comes off and it's a green gear insignia (similar to Phantom's crests in 11 and 12). They set up to do a closing move like the run and jump from Samurai/XtraordinarY but then fake us out and do something even more insane. The show winds down, literally, as they have an ending similar to the ending of Machine where everyone halts. Maybe not fully developed concepts yet as far as props, costumes, etc, but I'd love to see Blue Devils do Hadestown (someone else mentioned that too, so I won't take full credit), Blue Stars do an ABBA show called Thank You For the Music, and someone (Colts maybe?) do Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill Broadway show. Also, ever since their respective 2019 shows, I've been wanting Bluecoats to do a Weezer show called The Bloo Album and Crossmen to just say "screw it, we're the rock corps now" and go full The Hu or Rammstein. -

Boston Crusaders 2022
FaustianMachine replied to Liahona's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
First off, I hope the tradition holds and we get a 2nd place finish at lowest for Boston! Also, aren't their shirts always just ridiculously comfortable??? They're my favorite shirts of every season just because of how nice they are.- 722 replies
