We had a system at DCA prelims and finals. Due to age and other problems we couldn’t stay thru all of Prelims. So get there at very beginning to see the corps that wouldn’t make finals. Then partway through the top corps it was “ready to go back to the motel and recover? What we miss today we’ll catch tomorrow at finals”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a break to get up and move around and I’m not eating that godawful garbage in that stadium, either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid Kris didn’t go out and meet “the usual suspects” during Prelims. And I’d hear about it if we missed anyone. Standard joke was “ok you got your kiss from Hairbear, we can go back home now” 😈😆 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For streaming I watch as many as life allows. Same for WGI percussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Bauglir Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I called it quits on attending shows when electronics were added. One of the most attractive things about drum corps to me was the purity of the sound of just brass and percussion. I'm thankful that I aged out in one of the last few years before DCI went the way of being essentially "professional marching band". The greater move towards even more electronics, woodwinds, giant prop and modern art costume dance troupe crap that occurred in the following few years only reinforced my decision to leave drum corps in my past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
