NakedEye Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Wow that's pretty neat.They showed 2007 a lot of love... I wonder who picked this Top 10? I think it's most based on whatever videos they could come up with on Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF2K4 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Man, some drum corps got into TIME and yet everyone STILL finds something to ##### about? Can't we all just be happy that the list is on something so widespread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPUEuph Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 All I can say is it's some good PR, no pun intended for DCI. As much as I disagree with the amount of 2007 shows, I am pleased with the coverage. I was actually taken back when I heard TIME ran this, be pretty neat if it was in the print magazine which I doubt but none the less nice lil bit on DCI.

Jeff Ream Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 hey i actually liked all of those shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerpCorpsNut Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think it's most based on whatever videos they could come up with on Youtube. Hahaha always a solid source... And I, for one, am not trying to whine about it.. I think the coverage is awesome, I'm just laughing at the choices a little. Besides, DCP complains about everything, don't we all know this?

pags Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Okay, first and foremost, GREAT exposure in a reputable magazine. You HAVE to happy about that regardless of where you stand on the top 10 they chose. 01. 1980 Spirit of Atlanta 02. 1995 Madison Scouts 03. 2000 Cavaliers 04. 2000 Cadets 05. 2004 Santa Clara Vanguard 06. 2007 Carolina Crown 07. 2007 Bluecoats 08. 2007 Phantom Regiment 09. 2007 Blue Devils 10. 2008 Phantom Regiment I don't think they did THAT badly. I have NO quibbles with #1-6, so the fact that they got a list that I automatically agree 60% with is impressive to me, and I can see an argument for the other 4 but also wouldn't quibble if things like Cadets 1987, Blue Devils 1994, Star of Indiana 1990, etc were substituted in there instead. But as someone else said, everyone is gonna have a different top 10 list. Lord, we pop up new top 10's every summer so I can't blame TIME for creating a list that is not universally approved.

Northern Thunder Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The DCI Championships in Montreal did get a mention in the REAL (magazine) version of NEWSWEEK back in either '81 or '82. Unfortunately that was not a positive thing. An article on the new weather channel stated that the 24-hour station was desperate to fill its time, broadcasting forecasts for such "inane" events as the Drum Corps International contest in Montreal. I wrote a letter to the editor on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
