Galen Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 What are people's thoughts on the upcoming "OnQ" division of DCI? I thought the commercial looked kinda creepy, frankly. The jerkiness and the background noise reminded me of a Saw movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN DCI Fan Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Can you explain what this is for those of us who don't know what you're talking about? Was this commercial from the theater broadcast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Bauglir Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I haven't gone to the site yet, and as such, have no idea what it is even about. Is it an actual division of competing groups? A series of clinics? The commercial was very vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN DCI Fan Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hmm. Pretty vague. It could be interesting. On the other hand, I'm not sure what "it" is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sardomus Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 When I saw the commercial and heard the "explanation" from Dennis DeLucia, the first thing I thought was, "Oh, it's DCI's version of the Cadets' "Music is Cool" clinics. But I won't say that, cause it'll turn into another Cadets-bashing thread. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 It will be an educational arm to DCI. DCI hopes to extend curriculum and resource content to band directors, music educators, communities and students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abercrombiedevon Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 ah...for some reason i was thinking it was going to be a tv channel which btw would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 content may be available through video media. I know DCI has been looking at streaming video and educational content similar to what BD provided at finals this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
