alumniof Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Since DCI is no longer a drum corps (as we know it) - I say see we refer to it as another name or, heck, suggest it over. Here's mine: Summer Band Camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It hasn't been "drum corps" since they added the first bugle. And don't get me started on flags! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Actually, it ceased being a "drum and bugle" corps when it has nothing the differentiates it from a brass band. D&B corps have always been a subset now they simply are. I say let's call it Summer Olympic Band for rich young adults. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeenThereDoneThat Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I suggest that D.C.i. look in the mirror, be honest, and rebrand itself as M.B.B.I. (Marching Brass Bands Imternational), at least until the woodwinds hit the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to them, if that is their opinion of what drum corps is they would be correct. Remember, it's all about the "experience" now right?

fsubone Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Remember, it's all about the "experience" now right? Isn't that what it's always been about? Pouring your heart and soul into a performance for 3 months, 12 hours a day with 120+ of your brothers and sisters? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Since DCI is suffering from extreme memory loss and it is attempting to discover its true distinctiveness amidst a clandestine conspiracy within the group known as the G7... How about we rename it... THE HORN IDENTITY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
