When Will We See A Full-Field Tarp in DCI?
shostahoosier replied to George Dixon's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
This may be one of my favorite posts on DCP ever! Iām not a dinosaur opposed to innovation, but for me part of what made DCI special was how the designers could create sounds and visuals within the limitations that they had. Zingaliās āCross to Crossā would be less impressive if the members did it on go carts. -
I marched for drum corps for 4 summers and for two of them I had drum majors that had previously marched and for two of them I had drum majors that had just auditioned for the role. From that experience, personally, I heavily prefer a drum major that is a vet. The drum majors that had never marched never seemed to fully understand what it was like to rehearse as a performer and sometimes even seemed to believe they were the highlight of the show. I know plenty of excellent drum majors have never marched before, but I just always found it easier to identify with (and even approach) a

Well at the university I attended, sororities had a similar problem. The less popular sororities complained that the more popular sororities were offering callbacks to too many girls, and in the process hurting their chances of recruiting those women themselves.

I predict a BD soprano player from 1984 will chime in and tell us BD has no need to change their consistent staff formula. -

Most complicated brass book

This never gets mentioned but the book that Michael Klesch wrote for Phantom Regiment in 2001 was quite good, -
Why there should never be another Star
shostahoosier replied to Blackstar's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
How much would $1,000,000 buy in today's drum corps world though? It would do wonders for a small corps but it sounds like the big corps spend almost that much on a tour each summer. Starting up (without the sponsorships) would probably make things even costlier. But I would be happy to be proven wrong if it meant Star would return. -
Creativity at the Top
shostahoosier replied to DCIFan44's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I think the Star of Indiana actually played very little from "Pines"...(that amazing company front that came out of nowhere to the end of the opener). Either way the way that Jim Prime put it all together was fresher than what any corps has done since.
