waliman4444 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Admittedly i"m a Dino..that said, after watching BOA this weekend, it dawned on me that drum corps and band resemble each to a significant degree..That said: Does the marching arts creativity come from high school bands or does DCI influence the direction of the marching arts?

We could also add in the WGI Groups that both influence, and are influenced by, what we see/ hear in DCI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfgang Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Actually.... Imo WGI Percussion is the single leading creative driving force in the marching world. Many things people think are innovative on the field were done first by a drumline in Dayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass5 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I believe for years that the big HS marching bands designers, WGI designers and DCI designers are one in the same. The DCI designers try out and tweak their ideas on their BOA/WGI units. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmolnar Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It used to be DCI leading BOA, but that changed once DCI joined in on the prop arms race. BOA has been playing that game for decades now. DCI design trends starting aping BOA in the late 2000's and continue to do so today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially design and now the look costumes (not uniforms). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Watching a bunch of BOA today I saw stuff dci hasn’t seen, and I saw stuff dci did first. I feel WGI percussion is the most creative, but the trend there is to beat ideas to death, especially as shows get sold by the website groups to the lower classes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
