Hard to imagine more entertaining and better executed performances. What does it mean these pageantry leeches? They equal woodwind support? The DCI current or previous to Covid form is ok with me, I just don't want any woodwinds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpinets, Flubas, Oboniums, Saxobones, Mellolos... I'm envisioning an over-the-shoulder contra-bassoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrummerParent Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Not sure which old thread to post this to, but I see a Boston Crusaders mentioned they would perform three times in Indy. So, for those wondering what the Indy schedule will be like, there’s that little tid bit. Does that mean each day is pretty much the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you don't, you'll leave, and someone else will be there to take your place. Comme ci comme ça - it's just the way of the world. As for this season, look for a lot of corps using traditional uniforms, no woodwinds, limited to no props, and 10 to 13 minute shows with possible concert numbers. Also look for as many people who are allowed to be in the stadium on Saturday night to be there to support the members - kids who still believe in drum corps even if some older fans don't.

Seeing as how Boston's COO/ED is also president of DCI's board, I'm guessing that the Crusaders will be doing the DCI event each of the three days. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum corps is dying out. They can barely sell enough tickets to pack venues. Blah blah wah wah give me my g bugles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
