HornTeacher Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) One thing that did just occur to me: Would DCI even desire the finals to be shown over television airwaves? Other than the possibility of drawing "new" fan interest, DCI, as far as I know (which is admittedly of a very scant amount in matters such as this), would not gain financially from such an arrangement. I would assume that the current practice of showing Finals live through movie-house airings does result in at least some (I would hope) financial benefit to the organization. Would showing it live (i.e., "free") to the general public actually result in a loss of revenue to DCI?

brichtimp Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Look.....Jim Rome is a tool, and probably a tin eared tool at that. You could probably sit him right in front of the Crown brass or the SCV drum line, and he wouldn't perceive nor appreciate the excellence right there blowing the smug off his face. DCI is not going to show up on CBS (and, I signed the petition for grins). It might be said that the sharp end of the musical arts has never been appreciated by the masses, and certainly not by individuals like Rome....such is life.

rancidrolla Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yep! The more people talk about this boob on facebook the more it's trending. Stop making stupid people famous. If craploads of people follow his twitter he's already some what famous. The word you are looking for is 'infamous'.. & making him that is fine by me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
year1buick Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 There's a story on the front page of CNN about Rome's tweet that mentions the DCI petition: http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/03/showbiz/feat-jim-rome-apologizes/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroopAlum12 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm sorry, but all I could think of after hearing about his tweet was this picture that got taken during all days in 2011. I had to do it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the US Army Field Band's tweet was classic. I can't say I was terribly offended by the tweet. I was gladly a "band geek" in high school, though our band didn't really have that stereotype at our school. The football coach held us out to his players as harder workers and more disciplined they could ever think to be. 8 of the top 10 in our graduating class of 315 were in marching band. I'll take that as a success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Let's stop acting like ants. I think what you've written above is a perfect description of what is going on. It would fit perfectly on a t-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
