So - How much (1) Drum Corps & (2) how much non-Drum Corps marching experience? I will tally it up periodically as we go. 1995-2001 DCI 2009-2010 DCA 9 years... and still here vicariously living through talking about it lol 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1) Trooping the stands, after the corps’ performance the corps passed in front of the stands in parade formation saluting the audience. (2) Marching off the field after scores were read. You honored the winning corps by playing to them and saluting them as you marched off the field. Sounds trite but it taught us how to show respect to those we competed against. sorry if this is off topic. I remember doing this in the Canadian circuits up until the 2000's. It was a way to honour those who took in your performance and your fellow competitors. It's where 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidal28Rdg Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 4 years HS marching band 3 years college being in the DFW area for marching band was both difficult, but incredibly fun and exciting, that combined with Drum corps being discussed often with my band nerd friend group, going to the movie screenings, live shows, along with also Texas marching band competitions made me quite the fan of it all!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I enjoy this chance to learn more about other posters. DCP also has available a ‘Profile/About Me’ section for each poster by clicking on a name, but I don’t think that’s been utilized very often. Me- 6 years drum corps marching 45 years DCA and DCI projects management (I’m old) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
