DCIPhan78 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The only real thing that I want is a extremely competitive season with at a minimum 3 corps vying for the top spot throughout the season. Multiple winners Finals week (different winners in Quarters and Semis) would be really cool to see. Going to my first finals in about 15 years and literally can not wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I want the DCI Competition season to start this Saturday. At a local H.S. Stadium.... across the street Where I can walk, and not have to take my car. With last season's Top 12 all in attendance in competition. With a Full Judging Panel. temperatures at 71 degrees, and low humidity. 50 yard line seats... half way up. nobody talking or yelling during any of the performances anywhere around me. ( ok, so the last " want " listed here is probably the least likely to occur of all of them,I know. But a fan can dream, can't he ? ) Edited March 21, 2018 by BRASSO 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, DCI would appreciate you buying some DVD's. Edited March 23, 2018 by Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the era of lots of Corps doing " park & bark " where there was not a lot of movement visually compared to today. But the DCI Corps still could entertain diverse audiences back then despite the smaller brass lines. ( thats Jim Brady playing the soprano solo in the middle of the song ). This video/ audio does the Bridgemen no justice here as the video/ audio technologies was pure crapp compared to today's taping abilities. Live, the Bridgemen sounded much, much better than this. Corps back then had a tendency to overdo the fortissimo sometimes, as you can tell ( haha) Most knew it, but nobody seemed to mind all that much back then, as sometimes the goal regarding the playing was as simple as just wanting to pin the ears back with the audience in at least one of the songs in a Corps show routine. Its just the way it was. Edited March 22, 2018 by BRASSO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
