Would you walk away if DCI shows were like in the 80s and 90s

[DrillmanSop06]

You know, I think I'd probably walk away from ANYTHING that reverted to the 80s. Not just drum corps. XD

[Kansan]

I would love for Drum Corps to bo back to '80s and 90's style performances.

Even The Golden Girls? ALF? Miami Vice?

[WOOHOO]

Yeah, kinda like some lower placing corps of recent years. Nothing personal.

Exactly!!!!! When I say "nothing personal", I mean I don't think they are atrocious people, even if I think their performance is atrocious.

[Mello Dude]

Nope, and I actually would go to every show I could in the midwest. BTW, as a side note, is it me or do some people here seem offended the poll is so one sided?

[Rocketman]

So " no " it is not true that DCI Champion Corps of the 70's and 80's gave " bad performances ".

Listen to 77 & 78. OUCH!

I think it's just you.

I'm not the only fan my age that appreciate and watch a lot of shows from the '80s and '90s. I would rather march a fast pace show from this era but I have a lot of respect for the past and no doubt prefer those shows musically. I, in general, detest the sound of synths (on the field, they're not so bad indoors) and overbearing amplified pits, and no way would I ever want DCI to incorporate woodwinds at all. I'm not offended and I don't think anyone here is.

That and this poll just proves that most people wouldn't walk away from DCI. It doesn't mean that 85% of the people here want that but that 85% wouldn't give up the activity under these circumstances. Some people here are being dicks like usual but there isn't a conspiracy against older DCI shows by young people.

85% won't give up on the activity depending on the circumstances. I think the woodwinds poll showed that they would leave under those circumstances .... whereas reverting back to the 80's and 90's sounds like a really good deal for the fans. I'll be first in line to see shows that have less emphasis on jazz running and 2 minute ballads full of body movement. Gimme the beefy brass charts, let the drummers throw down .. turn down the amps and let it rip! Heckz yeah I'm down with that.

You're right I didn't specify that, I'll change that now.
