I'm not trying to Brasso pick nits, but the perception of "senior corps" still persists of old guys smoking and drinking beer waiting to go on the field. in the last 7 or 8 years i hard a name DCI director make such comments as a DCA corps was getting ready to perform at Allentown....and when they heard the corps was 90% under 21, they couldn't believe it. the sooner that term goes away, the better off it is for those corps. The word choice is not the problem. It is the bigoted misconceptions that need to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many mini corps are still left? Let alone that 4 state region? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...that DCI feature on the DCA groups when Pepe Nataro was still alive didn't do DCA any favors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know about today's DCA from what I read on here. I never had those misconceptions after learning more about it, but I can see where they still exist. I probably was the same way before DCP. Just never bothered to learn about it. Must the crowds that still think introducing bells and xylophones in 1974 made drum corps go all to hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined 1974 and first time I heard “that ain’t Drum Corps” was 1975. That was due to those “tink tink” bells. Then again had someone on FB say I never marched in a “real” drum corps because we didn’t have start and finish line. 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
