Ghost Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 1957 at age 10, may parents could not afford an instruement in the schools music program, but a buck a week with the Braintree Braves was doable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 All of the corps at the first DCI show I attended were way better than my high school marching band, and way better than any high school or university marching program I had ever seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poprocks Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) When I read the thread title, my mind immediately went to "...the music of Scheherazade; ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Santa Clara Vanguard!" But in all seriousness, I heard (not saw) my first drum corps show when I was 6, and it blew my mind. Saw my first show when I was 12 and I was completely hooked. When high school/college marching band wasn't enough, I went and marched with my favorite corps. And now I will be a fan and advocate of the activity til I die.
