AlexL Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 DCIs goal for next time should be: expand. try and get at least one theater in every state... also... maybe this has been answered before... but why thursday? when a huge part of the potential audience is in school... that makes it very hard if the nearest theater is hours away.

JayM Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I think I almost agree with MagicFlea. While I do appreciate the opportunity to get to see some drum corps history, IMO, 70's/early 80's drum corps isn't the most exciting thing to watch on a screen. Even watching current shows on TV grows a little tiresome after only a few shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyASU Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 did they give the entire voting results for the top 12, or just the #1 winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the senior corps mentioned are playing in exhibition at various DCI shows throughout the season. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekneek Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thursday is the best night DCI can get. One day away from the weekend. Theatres make a ton of money on the weekends, so they are less likely to carry an event like this which would be depriving them of a lot more than they would make on a DCI show. I liked it and would go see something like this every year. They should do it again, eliminating this year's winners from the competition. A blast from the past before each season might also slow down the encroachment of silly rule changes as people are consistently reminded what drum corps is all about.
