DCI Rant


Recommended Posts

Don't worry about it, when I marched I was 6'1" 150, and ended my career at 6'3" 150 with a very fast metabulism. Just wait until you get the desk job and that metabulism slows down, then you've got to adjust your eating habits or you will beef up to a normal man's build.

Haha, my dad keeps saying the same thing. Keeps telling me once I get a job as a band director, the stress-eating will start, and I'll jump up in weight. So I just hope I can stay on top of it and keep exercising. I started my DCI career at 6'0" 130, and now I'm at 6'3" 150. So moving up in the world, we'll see what happens to me post age-out.

I guarantee you this wouldn't have been an issue if corps were still playing on G bugles and they unplugged all the amps! Figure it out, DCI! :thumbup:

You forgot bringing back judges using ticks...

You are moving up in the world! Haha, too funny. I stopped growing when I was 13 but I got sons. There were many summers when I bought T-shirts and running shoes on sale in 3 different sizes and by school start they were in the 3rd pair. While we're on the T-shirts topic, here's 1 of 4 I bought in 2010. I also have a photo of me judging in 1976 but I 'aint in a T-shirt. Ha :-)

edit: it's August 26, 2010. This evening I was looking for papers and accidentally found 11 pages of my 1978 3rd baritone music sheets...wow

I can agree with the numbers above... if you convert to kilos

I'm 63.2 kg and 1.524 m tall (approximately) Light as a Feather by Chick Corea and Return To Forever produced by Polydor. I found my album the other day. Gotta get help from the young people on how I can digitize my 100 album collection. Seems that albums don't fall apart. However, I like my new T-shirts :thumbup:

using words like"parameters" and "normal body" makes me wonder if you work for Blue Cross

No, I'm an elementary school band teacher who did a 30 second internet search.

Or using the low end of the "normal" BMI as a judge of healthiness

I'm sorry, where did I say anything like that? I don't need you to put words in my mouth.
