I don’t use those platforms so I was specifically referring to DCP website. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand. I like everyone. I just like a few everyones a little more. Blue Devils are one of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Don-O Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I don't see very much criticism of BD. Most negative comments can be summarized as "Yes, they had the best performance, but they design their shows to the sheets wheras I prefer Corps X who I find more entertaining". Even the detractors usually qualify their comments with simultaneous praise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTNK Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 26 minutes ago, Terri Schehr said: You do realize that most older people on here are very supportive of young members? With money, volunteering, and going to shows to support them. Have you looked at the age of volunteers? They aren’t young. My husband had no children in drum corps but he volunteered to drive a vehicle, using his vacation time. He was 62 at the time and he drove all night for 16 days. So? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate they have found an audience that appreciates what they do. It’s just not my cup of drum corps no harm no foul. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you argue someone’s commitment to the activity when they give up their hard earned vacation time to keep a corps going down the road? I’ve spent a decade or several volunteering in many captions to keep the corps I love with all my heart on the road. It’s about the experience. Try it. You may like it.
