That's the same thing as saying hopefully they don't make the semifinals, which would be a horrific outcome for a corps trying to compete again. Just the reality of what the A&E arms race has done to DCI for the past couple decades. Time to let go of that ghost. Actually, it was time about 15 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you, the first top five corps that returns to 90’s style drum corps, focused on (unplugged, uncluttered) power, speed and precision will have everyone eating out of their hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who fell in love with drum corps in the past 10-15 years fell just as hard for what they saw and heard as you did. Your tastes aren't universal nor are they superior. Another ghost to give up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
