I watched my first DCI broadcast as a freshman in 1974 at band camp at West Virginia University. About 100 of us piled into a common room around a 25" Zenith TV. Still, it was a lot of fun watching our band director Don Wilcox watch the PBS broadcast with us and correctly analyze what the corps were doing and picking the winner. I never marched drum corps but it was fun being in the WVU band the next few years playing "drum corps greatest hits." 😎 Edited July 27, 2023 by wvu80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put in my VHS tape in which was recorded live off of the PBS broadcast and try to sync it with the record which was an extraordinary failure, but it was the best we could do at the time to get drum corps sound while playing our TV's. Now I've chosen horn loaded speakers to play horn loaded drum corps to reach the Holy Grail of sound reproduction; high quality and LOUD! I'm really happy with how far we've come. The worst recordings now are still better than the best stuff we had in the last century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
