How Should We Improve Drum Corps

[EllmerFUDD]

What is DCI’s biggest problem? (Relative to future growth)

You may select more than one

Much of what is posted on DCP relates to some type of “problem” with today’s Drum Corps activity. I actually think it is really more about someone’s personnel taste. There likes and dislikes. As humorous as this is (the personnel taste thing) the stability and growth of the activity are important concerns.

I am asking the question “What is DCI’s biggest problem? Relative to the future health of the activity. I am not asking “What changes would allow YOU to enjoy Drum Corps more” So please try and put you personal taste aside for one minute. Just because you may enjoy it more does not necessarily mean the activity will grow and prosper.

If you just answer “General program content and artistic direction” or "all the new school stuff" (Synth, Vocals, Etc). without explaining how this will grow the activity it will be obvious your answer just reflects your “personal” want VS. what’s important for the activity

My top 3 are, DCI Leadership, Judging criteria and Competitive balance (Increased parody).

To make it balanced, I suggest you add one more choice that says, DCI is fine and I like the direction it's heading.

Excellent suggestion. Not sure I can modify the poll now?

I added it for you. Hope it's okay. :)

I think that DCI should let the top 7 corps add woodwinds and do extra side shows and let them keep all the money and give them more from all the other shows,,,,, oops, I guess thats already proposed.

Is that the "parody"[sic] option?

[ShortAndFast]

"Increased parody" is certainly DCI's biggest need! When oh when will the Velvet Knights return or someone else embrace humor as an identity?

[BOBSMYTH]

It's hard not to vote for more parody.

We need more Bridegmen / VK in this activty.
