sopster Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I marched DCA for 10 years (so far, anyways) and 0 years in DCI. Just wasn't in the cards for me. No regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corps Lover Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I spent all my 'jr' years in a DCA corps... Loved every minute of it. Might never have gone on tour, but spent 9 seasons making history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcornwallis Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) This is kind of a follow-up to Kyle's thread in the DCI section. How many of you marched DCA without ever marching in DCI? I missed my window to march in junior corps. Now, as an adult looking around for activities and organizations to be a part of, I can't help but think joining a senior corps would be a perfect way to stay busy, play some trumpet, and meet people who share a passion of mine. It'd be nice if there was one in my area, so I could check them out.How common is it for someone to march DCA without marching DCI first? Would I meet many others like me, or are most people veterans of junior corps? "]Drum Corps is, as you probably know, very costly. This is as far as both Money and Time. An entire summer plus wintertime; thats a lot a lot a lot to commit to. DCA is a window that can be taken for drum corps fans everywhere who may not have the ability to afford a summer with corps. My answer is yes; There are many other people like you. Furthermore You'll find some of the best talented people who couldn't afford Junior corps also in DCA.[/size] Edited August 24, 2010 by jeffcornwallis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bribro88 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I only marched DCA and I enjoy every minute of it! I think many people of age to march DCI march DCA first to get some Drum Corps experience before going to DCI. THis would have been my age out year and I wish I marched DCI but I know I never would have had the money to do so. DCA has less cost and you can hold a job all summer which is always important!

ahquad Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Marched 7 years DCA before doing rook-out in DCI. Then back to DCA for many years after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
