  1. Realistically, I don't expect prices for drum corps to go down...Nor do I begrudge the promoters their fair share and the fans who support them...What I'd like to see is the corps getting serious money from an online service like FLO if the viewership numbers reflect a significant increase in DCI interest such that their profits from the broadcasts warrant a larger percentage for drum corps..I don't know if drum corps receives any money from FLO..I just assume that to be the case..That's all..PEACE

    oh i've been there. and i partke in a lot of Flo since my area gets so few shows anymore.

     

    but man...live...yeah. i'd pay it, and beats the hell out of suffering through penn State beat down UMass in the rain

    Nothing beats LIVE!! Yay!

  3. MarimbaMania has in my opinion,  given a sincere and palpable observation based on the reality of discretionary money and it's effect on those who simply can no longer find it cost effective to attend live shows.These are probably the same people who can no longer  afford live sporting events,live music concerts or live anything short of your high School's annual concert...That he's been reminded that you're supporting drum corps and it's young folk( Who fork out between 4 to 5 thousand dollars for this privilege) seems to  border on a test of drum corps loyalty, when in fact, his position is probably shared by more than a few..If supporting mean going to FLO because you can't afford 800 dollars for finals or to drive two hours to see a show with 4 corps at 50 bucks a shot then at least appreciate the effort ..Those with the funds to go to live shows, God bless you..But those who can't, are no  less enthusiastic to see this art form succeed and no less loyal than any other fan...imo...Peace

  4. I still believe and I know i'm not alone, that the Bloo's first ending in 2019 was classy, complete and made more sense than the bombastic HEY JUDE ending that changed to compete with BD's surge as the season wore on..in this case, sometimes less is better..imo....peace

  5. I'm just happy that the poster introduced me to an artist that BLEW ME AWAY..I am obviously late to the game as regards Mr. Collier but his arrangements, along with the TAKE SIX vocals on these two songs, soulfully moved me emotionally...If a corps could reproduce his work that would be fantastic..But if that never happens, I'd just like to thank the poster for a few minutes of bliss..peace

    One issue with getting students in HBCU programs to do DCI is that their band camps often overlap with the last week or so of DCI and it is NON. NEGOTIABLE to miss band camp.

    I'm all for recruiting, but let's be real, I bet many of the HBCU folks have no interesting in doing something the style of DCI, just like lots of the DCI folks hate doing "drum line battles". I feel like we often assume that everyone WANTS to do DCI, and if we just reached out (or lowered the costs etc) they would, when the reality is that plenty of people KNOW what DCI is, and just don't want to do it.

    You mean mm's might not want to march in Drum Corps'Major League?..Sacrebleu!..lol...peace
