BroncoTrooper Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 What is DCT? Click It's called Daily Conditioning Treatment, but I always called it Drum Corps Treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcmello09 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Click It's called Daily Conditioning Treatment, but I always called it Drum Corps Treatment. I also heard that dct had its formula changed and it shouldn't be used by brass performers. What ingredient in carmex set it apart from dct in making it not a good choice? I thought I heard it was menthol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Just my $.02, but I majorly cut down on underwear and shorts by rehearsing in bathing suits. They're perfect for when you get really sweaty, the underwear is built right in (less things to pack) and when you see some sprinklers on you're perfectly prepared to go running through them. And you really can wear them for a few days at a time without needing to get rid of them. Ya, you'll be a little smelly, but it's drum corps, so you'll be pretty smelly anyways.

soccerguy315 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 i still have a number of old DCT containers, from before the formula was apparently changed... are people saying I should take them to shows and sell them for $20 each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Mike Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Before you get on the bus, Do not eat whatever it is that makes you fart. You will be figured out. The longer it takes to figure out it's you, the worse it's gonna be NO ONE LIKES THE PERSON WHO FARTS ALL NIGHT LONG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) I'm a rookie this year in a world class group, and I'm looking forward to going on tour this summer. I was wondering if any of you battle-hardened vets had any advice for on tour that might increase my chances of survival this summer? If beans and chili were on the Corps menu, if you can, avoid sitting in the back of the Corps bus for 24-48 hours. Good luck this summer. Despite my tongue in cheek wisecrack, you'll have fond memories that'll last you a lifetime. Edited May 6, 2011 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were always told not to use Lip Medex during the day, I don't know if it's because of the camphor, menthol, whatever. I did notice though that whenever I would use it, my range would be shot the next day. Don't know why.
