drewiepoo2 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm looking for a good introductory video to the activity of drum corps. I know that when tv stations air the dci championships, they always have a clip explaining what drum corps is or what it means to the members. I'm trying to find one that can help a stranger to the activity understand what drum corps really is. If you know of some good links online, it'd be much appreciated. thanks!

DrinkinOuttaCups Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've heard that the '04 intro is pretty good for stuff like that, and I've done lots of searching, but I can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quegrawks Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've heard that the '04 intro is pretty good for stuff like that, and I've done lots of searching, but I can't find it. Is it on the '04 DVD? WGI includes their videos from championships on their DVDs and usually also on the WGI website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewiepoo2 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 haha, wow, right after i created this topic i checked dci.org, and they JUST posted a promotional video (kind of what I was looking for) on the front page. If you guys have more videos, let me know, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davam Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 This isn't online, but if you're willing to spend $30, it fills the bill perfectly: A DVD the Blue Devils made a few years ago called "11 1/2 Minutes." It's on their Web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Please remember, the only links to DCI videos that are allowed on DCP are ones that come directly from DCI or member corps. We'll leave this thread open for more suggestions like davam made above, or in case somebody finds a link on dci.org or an officially sanctioned online video by a member corps. http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/inde...showtopic=82276 Effective Immediately: NO LINKS to audio or video recordings, other than those specifically provided for public viewing on the corps' or DCI's website, will be permitted on the Drum Corps Planet and affiliated sites' forums...

DrumCorps2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=1...a7-a60ef60f63f9 There's an intro video just posted on DCI's site. It's the best I've ever seen. Watch it all the way to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyboy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 In the mid 90s DCI put out a nice 10 minute video, I think it was called "This is Drumcorps". It had the Jurasic Park music at the end, and was a pretty good video explaning the different instruments and summer tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdstar Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Not a video, but one of the best articles I've read to give the flavor of drum corps: http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/pro...roll_please.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
