RyanSE Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 My Hi Cam audio is out of synch with the video. Is this happening with anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 So perhaps I will try to convince local HS band director to take them to DCI next summer as it is apparently now allowed. They are on about same level as Calgary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Firebird is up there with The Planets and Sound of Silence on the "this again?" list but for some reason it ALWAYS gets me. Calgary Stampede has done it beautifully. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadetsmellomom34 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just a question.. I love the Calgary Stampede Show Band, think they are amazing and understand they are in the international category. Why though do they compete with the other corps when woodwinds are still banned in those corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary Stampede Show Band is the International Class competitor. So, yes, woodwinds. BUT. They're big bold and brassy. A poster tuesday in the OC thread mentioend they're part of Canadian groups exploring the possiblity of competing in DCI. Could someone explain to me how they can compete with woodwinds? I don't mind it, and they are enjoyable, but it is not the same medium as brass/perc/cg. I remember several international competitors in the past and Canadian corps over the years, but not any bands with woodwinds. You're right they are big, bold, and brassy! Thanks for the background info, anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a year a group from Taiwan and another group from somehwere else I think came over in "international class" and had woodwinds. Ask DCI.
