Jeff Ream Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Meh. Did they tour nationally with members from across the world? Or was it way nerdier than today's marching bands. I rest my case. no DCA tours nationally. maybe one trip across the country for finals. Either way your insuation trying to bash old time drum corps is inaccurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way your insuation trying to bash old time drum corps is inaccurate. If one doesn't tour...nationally, then one tours...regionally? One might say locally, even? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) If one doesn't tour...nationally, then one tours...regionally? One might say locally, even? regionally yes. but hardly a local marching ban. But hey it fits the shots you like to take at DCA corps Edited November 26, 2011 by Jeff Ream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmFlag61 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 My original intent in creating this Thread was to express my Personal opinion. Did I expect Flames? Of course. Did I expect Personal attacks? Sure, this is DCP, that PVC loving Forum that relishes in Hatred. But the level of responses here, on farcebook, emails, etc. has blown me away. Here's my basic premise - like the Frankenstein story, the creator(s) had no idea of the Monster they created. However well intentioned their actions, it's gone far beyond their wildest dreams. Did DCI save Drum Corps, as so many of you believe? Of course, IF you accept that this current "Activity" is really "Drum Corps". I'm reminded of a statement from Viet Nam - "We had to destroy that Village in order to save it." This is, of course, only a Fossil's (long past Dinosaur) OPINION. I could be wrong, but...I don't believe I am. Cheers to you all, keep up the Discussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if DCP relishes in hatred, what the heck are you doing here? Seems your OP was filled with just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmFlag61 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Okay - I love the original concept of DCI, just hate the result. I could create a Thread "I love DCI, think it's the best thing since Buddha" and still get flamed. And btw this is a Corps Forum, not an exclusive DCI Forum. just so happens that Corps today are a part of DCI. And therein lies the problem; the Corps are NOT DCI as some like to claim. DCI has taken a life unto itself, IMO, the Corps are only a part of the Business scheme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
