ibexpercussion Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I can see both sides: A) you want to be recognized as the best drumline. PERIOD. B) You want to be the best group possible. All in all it is a group activity, and one would rather win a title, than a caption award I would assume. Look at the excitement of the BD kids in their line in 2010. Very happy they won it all, and not upset they did not win high percussion. Although, it is great when both can happen at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1STEN2311 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I personally felt more accomplished after winning a Sanford. I was more a part of the success to winning the Sanford than I was to winning a ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) I personally felt more accomplished after winning a Sanford. I was more a part of the success to winning the Sanford than I was to winning a ring. To me what you posted would be like if you were a pit crewman for a NASCAR team stating that you would feel more accomplished winning the Pit Crew Award for fastest pit work than winning the Sprint Cup Title because you were more a part of the pit crew than the overall team.

84BDsop Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Having won both brass (BD) and percussion (Dagenham Crusaders) and winning the ring with Dagenham (even though DCUK did have rings...work with me here)....I'd take the ring any day.

FlamMan Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This is a dumb question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This is a dumb question. You might think so, but just look at how many people chose the percussion award over winning all of DCI. Surprised the heck out of me, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCV84 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 My order of priority would be: 1) Win Sanford! 2) Win both DCI Ring and Sanford Trophy. 3) Win DCI but not Sanford. ✌️😎🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drilltech1 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This is a dumb question. When I first saw the OP, I wondered like you, "What's the point?" But as Mike D has stated above, there is a wide variation of thought which also reflects that not every one in corps is coming from the same perspective. Does this mean that drummers think differently from the rests of us? Well, there's been many a drum corps legend about that! No, not a dumb question at all when analyzed. Maybe not an easy one nor a typical DCP moaning post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seen-it-all Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I guess in order to tell if it's a dumb question or not, it should be posed to brass players as well. Winning the ring? Or winning the Ott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
