Hi! I am new to DCP and very new (recently converted in June 2014) to DCI exposure. I am based out of Los Angeles, CA and my favorite corps so far is the Santa Clara Vanguard. I do enjoy the Blue Devils as well, yet I am so attracted to the classiness and musicality of movement I feel and see from SCV. I am in no way at all a marching expert as I have never ever marched. But I do play the piano and played violin throughout grade and high school. I am recently obsessed with watching DCI videos on youtube from the past and I wonder if this is a recognized or common condition, as it takes up too much of my time. If anyone out there in the LA and surrounding areas would like to connect with me, that would be awesome! My friends think I am lame, for loving the drum corps activity, but I know they are just very ignorant to it, so anyone out there with a valid opinion towards Drum Corps, please feel free to message me :). Thanks.
P.S.
I notice people on these forums can get really mean, and I do not intend to be one of those people. I support all the positive results and outcomes that I believe EVERY corps brings to anyone who participates in it.
