Kansan Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm kinda sick of dci right now, so i think i'll go with BOA. Not that i've ever been to a BOA show in my life, but at least it would be something different.... Wow, you picked one of DCIs' best years to bail on.

Kansan Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Since that felt so good, maybe time for a few more.Madison Scouts, how sad that you sucked so bad last year, that people are excited just to see you scratching and clawing just to make finals. And with a show that just didn't quite have any of the energy of years past. Colts, I love you dearly, but it's a shame that at the beginning of the year, you should have been top 10, but the staff were unable to improve from the beginning to the end of the season. Cadets, it's a darn shame that you aren't able to perform to your ability, due to the fact you hired two people to act out a show, and didn't even have the ability to look like they were saying what was being said. What a waste. Santa Clara Vanguard, that show should have been top 3, why was it not finished until July? And people wonder why I think this year was way below par? It's like I heard at a show a few years ago, if Phantom can make the top 3, most of the good corps must suck eggs. I guess if DCI has to bail them out of financial devastation by giving them the title out of sympathy, (waaah waaah waaah, we went to California too many times and bailed on our bank loan, because we spent all our money on those trips) then I guess it's time for me to pull my financial support. The product is starting to SUCK people. Ok, maybe not suck but it is NOWHERE near the level it has been in years past. Live or Die...Lame I have breast cancer...Lame Our show isn't finished...Lame No improvements during the season..Lame Sunburst with 13 colorguard... Lame Unrecognizable renditions of planets.... Lame Judges playing games during the season to try to increase the fan support... Lame DCI having a corps win because they screwed over the bank on their loan.....Lame The fact that alot of the people on this board don't have an IQ over 20? Pathetic Dang, that does feel good. I get it, this is satire. Or maybe a dreaded Troll. :troll food: Edited September 7, 2008 by Kansan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BozzlyB Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I would tend to agree with that statement.And lets face it, people are making a big deal about a bunch of people running around playing instruments. I love drum corps as much, if not more, than the next person on here, but is it really worth arguing over something as petty as this And yet here you are......

hrnguy500 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Have you ever marched DCI and then gone back to a band program? It's a total let down. The rehearsal level in DCI is way up in the stratusphere compaired to even a top notch band. Most everyone dreams about going from band to Drum Corps not the other way around. Now for the uninitiated, band is a fun program until you taste the "forbidden fruit" of Drum Corps. wow this is exactly it. There is a reason they call DCI "Marching musics major league" Do you think a major league baseball player is more excited to be called up from the "minors" to play in the "majors" or to be sent to the "minors" until they get back their game? And yes Drum Corps is not what it used to be. No Bugles for one and a lot of other stuff. It is evolving, but it is still not Band. The day they allow woodwinds into Drum Corps is the day I walk away....and it might not be too far away sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps-mudgeon Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Let's analyze this.Number of DCI corps "d" = 22 Number of "exciting" DCI corps "D" = 6 D / d = 27.27% Number of BOA bands "b" = 90 Number of "exciting" BOA bands "B" = 12 B / b = 13.33% 27.27% > 13.33% Therefore, we can mathematically and scientifically conclude that DCI is more exciting than BOA. Hope that helped! Logic. I love it! Edited September 7, 2008 by corps-mudgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
