13 Years and 10,000 Posts Ago...
AlexLeeDrums replied to garfield's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Congratulations! I, too stumbled across DCP about 13 years ago, when I was first introduced to this wonderful activity. I marched 03-06 and then took a bunch of years off from drum corps, then re-found the activity again in 2012 when I met my now wife. I forgot/lost my old account info, so this is my new one. Here's to many more years and posts! -
What uniforms? I WANT TO SEE DRUM FINISHES!
AlexLeeDrums replied to AlexLeeDrums's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Are we missing anyone? I see a trend of more simple designs this year, minus a few, of course. Is it me, or does it seem that a lot of the corps are choosing a lacquer finish from the manufacturer, rather than using On2 slips? -
I think the point of the headwear of any form is to make the unit a) look "uniform," and b) make them look TALLER. The difference between the WGI groups and DCI groups is the size of the venue. In WGI, there really is no need for headwear, because it is more of a personal, closer venue where seeing facial expressions adds more to the show. The audience at a DCI show is much further away, and typically outdoors. To me, a corps looks short and incomplete when they're not wearing a shako or aussie, or whichever headwear they choose.

SCV just posted a photo of the uniform ladies hemming a pair of white pants.

Super classy and elegant. Love it! And I think they're all the same players from last year. -

The short stacks definitely lack in the sound quality department. Phantom quads in the Rennick days were by far my favorite sound, as well as SCV pretty much any year. Beefy sound. -

I follow them on snapchat and haven't seen anything yet. Do they have a separate drumline account? -

I totally agree. A nice lacquer is gorgeous, but I am still intrigued by the wraps that come out every year. Even the high school line I teach uses them. Also, I've noticed in a lot of the pictures I've seen from spring training thus far, that there are a lot of black drums, which tells me they're probably going to be wrapped soon. Can't go wrong with a solid black finish though. -

Thursday at the Theater
AlexLeeDrums replied to CrunchyTenor's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'll be at Westgate in Glendale, AZ. It starts at 3:30PM here (I think) so I might be a little late because of work. Can't wait! -

2015 Uniforms (All Threads Now Merged HERE)
AlexLeeDrums replied to Cainan's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Is anyone able to compile all of the looks, by corps? If I did, it'd be done already. It would be nice to have a single place to go to that we can see them all without having to scroll through 70+ pages of "discussion?" -

The Crossmen will be great this year, as they are every year. -
Bump I missed their CentreStage performances, but I plan on checking out a rehearsal or two, and will see them at the Phoenix (Mesa) show on June 29th.
