Stu Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It is documented that many current and former marching members in our fine activity have ties to Denton, TX; home of the University of North Texas. So when the Denton Record Chronicle Newspaper supports the activity it should give us great pleasure to know that the journalists and editors of that paper acknowledge the fact that we are what we are. Check out the title of this article and enjoy the rest of your reading!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a pretty good article for (and likely written by) someone who knows nothing about the activity. Classifying drum corps as marching band is an easy way to give a broad idea of what the activity is without some long-winded explanation on why drum corps is different to people who will likely not agree that drum corps is very different from marching band. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No discussion of the people or groups involved. Mis-naming the activity is just the salty icing on a bitter cake. Yuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACMellos2010 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Let's be completely honest...the activity in its current state is much more similar to marching band than ever and the wide gap that used to exist doesn't anymore. A better title of the current activity is "Professional Amateur Marching Band minus Woodwinds"... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The word "band" shows up 5 times. The word "corps shows up 3 times. Seems about right for a mainstream newspaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the title of this article and enjoy the rest of your reading!!! I don't know what your point is. That the activity is seen by many as " Marching Band ", both within and outside the activity ? You believe that this is somehow news to DCP'ers ?
