DCP Drum corps show.


Recommended Posts

Some brave corps needs to do a DCP themed show. The BD haters and the BD honks are always in a constant turf war, intellectually battling it out, but alas! a strapping young hater falls for a beautiful young honk, but their love is forbidden! Then some people die in flame wars. With real flames. We'll call it "Conflict and Resolution: Constantly Disputing Opinion." Though I can see where it would be confusing. Do loud cluster chords represent BD, or do they represent tension? or both? Why are there stop lights on the field? Who knows? Why are there scale model buildings on the field? To represent hate for props, or to set the background? It promises to be an ambiguously themed show that leaves approximately 50% of the audience scratching their heads and makes the judges go wild!

it would also have to have audience members saying they love what's on the field and other audience members saying that they're not really the audience but that they are the audience and that the audience really hates what's on the field because look at all of the people sitting on their hands and golf clapping and then the non-audience members sitting in the audience would say they cheered enthusiastically but then the real audience would tell them they're not the real audience.

The judges love that kind of design drivel! Are you sure you aren't a program coordinator somewhere?

Still waiting for a drum corps adaptation to 'the aristocrats'. Though oddly enough, there would be less #### thrown in the aristocrats show.

Of course we also need some sort of visual homage to this thread...maybe guard flags with prints of the greatest hits?

... well, no doubt some Madison alumni guy would come along and be all defensive and protective of their DCP theme show, and anarchy and strife would ensue.

Love it! Each section of the hornline will be split in two, with half of every section being 3-valve Bb brass and half being piston/rotor G bugles. :thumbup:

What are you talking about? P/Rs aren't drum corps! They have valves!

54% of the corps would have to be boring, 26% would have to be exciting and for the audience, and 10% would have to be for the judges.
