81Freelancers Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I watched a YT video called "Highlights of 2018 DCI Finals" and with the exception of the Vanguard, I didn't recognize a single corps with all the bizarre uniforms. Let's hope the pendulum swings back so that corps will wear their traditional-yet-updated uniforms so we can recognize them and cheer them on. Isn't that what DC is mostly about? With the news about sexual predators running rampant in the ranks of major corps, DCI may be brought down. Hopefully, a new organization will take it's place with more traditional and progressive rules. DCI wants all this news to go away. 2 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRacer Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 They look like Cavies 2.0, except in cream. They also took equipment off a truck with “SCV” painted on it. Still thinking...ah, yes! The (schwack!) Horn Snap. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff, your comments always make me laugh because we seem to say the same things. It must be "a drummer thing" as my father used to say. Things my girlfriend said to me at DCI South this year (her first DCI show) that made me laugh: "You keep saying things like 'balls clean' and 'p**s clean.' None of those sound clean to me. Why don't all you drum people say like...'Brita Clean' or something?" "Why do they keep saying "dut, dut, dut?" (She then proceeded to say dut, dut, dut very loudly while jutting her head forward like a rooster clucking) "It's summer and all of these people are wearing jackets. Like, who wears a jacket in the summer? Wait a minute...you're wearing a jacket too! What the h**l man?!?!" (referring to corps jackets) "I found my favorite corps thingy!! They're from Denver and I'm from Denver! I'm buying all of their souvies on your debit card. I hope they win." (This is before she had even heard BK play) "They serve beer at this stadium?!?! How do I not know about this drum corps thing?" "I played clarinet in high school....this seems a little more....advanced." "So an entire corps was in the bathroom changing....." "I just noticed that all of you drum people look like your hands got run over by a truck. What's up with that?" "So many unitards.....just so many unitards..."

JimF-LowBari Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Entire corps in bathroom changing? That’s what buses are for lol. Especially while they are moving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially while they are moving. Yep. When I got my 2nd wind and started marching DCA, we did the show in Orlando. I wanna say it was 2005. Unfortunately, the unis didn't get cleaned and had sat in the uniform trailer for a few weeks after the previous show in Wintson Salem. We all know how hot it gets in Atlanta so they had been marinating for a while in the back of that trailer. To say they were a little odiferous would be an understatement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao back in the 70s only truck we had hauled the drums. Know it well as rode it for 5 years as guy lived nearby. Unis went on the bus in the luggage racks so if we were running late it was “get dressed now as might not be able to at the site”. In alumni corps learned to wear gym shorts so could dress by the car without attracting (police) attention 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
