SFZFAN Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I see Chris just posted a video of the corps pulling out on the way to Lucas Oil stadium. Are they going to perform at the preview tonight? I might need to go if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first competition is this Saturday at Whitewater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I am confused about it generally speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm a "dinosaur" (41), but I can't believe so many people are willing to swallow the line and go along with this morphing of DCI into WGI. That's pretty much all we're seeing now; recycled BOA or WGI shows. The mindset of both of those organizations have infected DCI (mostly due to the incestuous nature of all 3 organizations). It's basically taking a WGI-styled show and throwing it on a football field instead of inside an auditorium. There's very little left to distinguish the different activities, not to mention the fact that DCI is no longer the innovator and driving force (by and large) of the marching arts, and has taken a backseat to both BOA and WGI. This is what many were afraid of when we started changing the rules. Any-key instruments...then amplification...then electronics...now costumes, etc. Won't be any time before you can no longer recognize a difference between DCI and BOA. Before anyone scoffs, we're practically there already. The only difference at this point is the lack of wood winds. DCI is now a homogenized product. I'm just surprised that everyone is cool with it. ***that's not to take anything away from what BOA and WGI do. I've seen a lot of awesome shows from both and appreciate those activities for what they are. I'd just prefer we stop blurring the lines between them and DCI.
