  1. I don't really think DCI is at fault for this one. It's really more of the fans and the people commenting on the video. From what I see, the DCI Harlem Shake wasn't meant to be an ACTUAL Harlem Shake video like the ones spreading across the internet. DCI wasn't trying to show the world how much crazier they could be than the last Harlem Shake poster, but rather, show the internet that there are clips in the product that they're trying to sell (World Championship DVDs) that contain people doing similar "crazy" things on a drum corps field. That's why this video is humorous. Not because of what the members are doing on the field and how ridiculous they're acting, but because of the fact that there are moments in multiple drum corps shows where audiences can connect small crazy drum corps moments with something they'd see in a Harlem Shake video. It'd be like National Geographic making a Harlem Shake video out of a Meerkat documentary. Do Meerkats ever jump around and party obnoxiously when the "bass drops?" No, but if there were a video compilation put together of the animals acting "silly" with the Harlem Shake music playing in the background, it would be enjoyable not because the animals are acting crazier than the most recent Harlem Shake video, but because of the fact that they are relatable to a popular internet trend.
  2. Actually, I received news from one of the new section leaders that PR is actually going back to the old Stansbury uniforms. Yes, they are going to be khaki. But it supposedly goes with the show for 2012 (I don't know what it is yet...he hasn't told me yet). The FJM thing wasn't working out for them and it was just too expensive. They're also switching to Dynasty horns because they are so low on money. Expect a bit of an off year.
