Pitch me your DCI show concepts.
ThePlanets replied to Orwellian Wiress's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
1812 fits with a V for Vendetta theme. Don't know how well a show themed after a movie/comic about an out of control government taking away rights supposedly over a virus would sit right now though. -

Marching experience of DCP members
ThePlanets replied to IllianaLancerContra's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
4 years high school. 4 years college. 8 years total marching experience. Basically just a fan. No corps experience. I spent 2 years in a local parade marching band. I always knew about the Cavaliers (but never seriously looked into them because I am not properly equipped) and always knew the Cadets as the top of the crop musically (this was the early 00s) but far out of my reach. A kid at my school marched lake Erie Regiment one summer so had some exposure to that. I marched in college with a Cadets Alum but became really good friends with a Bluecoats Alum and went to my first live show in 05. It was Pittsburgh and the Bluecoats weren't there...I fell in love with BK (really my wheelhouse at the time talent wise and music that I loved) but saw they were from Denver and shrugged it off. Had to pay off college loans anyway. After the 06 season we marched with a Cavalier that marched the machine show so we watched it a lot. Great show. Made me realize that dci would not have been out of my reach but I was already almost too old and needed to get ready for grad school. Years later I met my husband- he marched with the Warren Junior military band and the Bluecoats. He took me to 2012 DCI finals for my birthday and I have been obsessed ever since. -

Keep doing what they are doing. 1. They usually medal 2. The fans as a whole love to see them 3. Young fans and prospective members especially love it- so they continue to attract elite talent and compete at the top level. 4. If people like the show they are more inclined to donate to the organization and/or buy merch It's like some of those 70s-90s Madison shows that were always competitive and the most well loved- but you know weren't going to bring home gold.
