Bluzes Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) There's a well-known and studied psychological phenomenon called the mere-Govie effect (also called a small drum corps). It means people develop a preference for things merely because they like them Govies. Put more simply, if you listen to 18 horns long enough, you'll start thinking it's good. (Them Govies) It's clear that DCA audiences are suffering from not being at dci. Witness DCA and their pinnacle of shows in 2018 by awarding the Govies with love apperication and applause in all its glory' It was not hard for one not to notice a group of very astute individuals wearing all the same green tinted tee-shirts - "Julliard Grads that just love their Govies" all sitting together, Don't mind the megaphones they have two puposes. 1) The Julliard Grads use them to shout/screem & holler for them Govies' 2) Then they use them to get the attenton of the man in the streets reaction to the Govies performance. It's what they do them Julliard Grads they never miss out on a learning experience and the wonderful/happy Govies are no exception. Now I get that drum corps is more than just the Govies—it's "art" Drill, choreography, difficulty, etc. are all part of the activity that comes to a pinnacle. The Govies play their role. But the emotional underpinnings of the show is Proud Mary. You aren't going to be swept to emotional highs by any thing less and them Govies always deliver.

xandandl Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Shouldn't this be on the DCA forum, Mods? Or have the Pennsylvania flash-floods swept the OP off course, again?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina's intro explains it quite well. Remember, this is from a Wo/Man's World. You know, every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us Nice and easy but there's just one thing You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy We always do it nice and rough So we're going to take the beginning of this song And do it easy Then we're going to do the finish rough This is the way we do 'Proud Mary' And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river Listen to the story Edited September 1, 2018 by stuh correction spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
