The Oz Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Can someone please explain to me how DCA is better than DCI? It depends on your definition of "better". (With apologies, sorta, to President William Jefferson Clinton.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniSopGuy Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Ding Ding.....round 12,362 begins.....lol This has been discussed many times in the past and Ithink the best description I remember reading is the comparing DCA to DCI is like comparing apples to oranges. They are both fruits but with different flavors and outward design. Do a search for DCA vs DCI and you will find some other discussions.

ChuckNorris95 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 It depends on your definition of "better".(With apologies, sorta, to President William Jefferson Clinton.) If there was a DCI show and a DCA show on the same day, and both were of equal distance from my home. Also,, both featured the most competitive corps both circuits have to offer. Why should I attend the DCA show instead of DCI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oz Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) If there was a DCI show and a DCA show on the same day, and both were of equal distance from my home. Also,, both featured the most competitive corps both circuits have to offer. Why should I attend the DCA show instead of DCI? I’m going to, at the risk of being flambéed, answer exactly the question you asked, “Why should I attend the DCA show instead of DCI?” (I am not answering the question, “Which show should I attend?” Your question implies that you have decided to see the DCA show and are asking for justification. First some assumptions: - You live in DCA East territory: Pennsylvania/New England/New Jersey/New York. - You’re talking about a “typical” show. Not a DCI Regional, not either championship. Now, “Why should I attend the DCA show instead of DCI?” - You want to see three or four of the top ten corps. (OK, your question had the caveat, "both featured the most competitive corps both circuits have to offer". But, except for the Eastern Regional, that isn't the case with the DCI shows near me.) - You like the sound of G horns. - You want to hear more recognizable music. - You like retreat. - You want to see a different mix of corps than last week’s show. - You appreciate the local, amateur version of the activity versus the live-on-a-bus, professional version. And please don’t forget, if you live in the Northeast, DCA probably has shows within two hours drive of you on multiple weekends. You’re not locked into one date to see a DCA show. See the DCI show when it’s in town. DCA will be back in a few weeks. Edited May 1, 2006 by The Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNA90_Mello Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Pulling up a lawn chair and a cooler of frosty beverages. Let the games begin. :-) Seriously though. DCA v DCI is a moot point, IMHO. It is really a question of which corps are performing at which venue. The differences between DCA and DCI are one of organizational then anything else, I think. When it comes down to choosing a show to go to, use the corps to decide, not whether they are DCI or DCA corps. Bob P.S.

LegalEagle50 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Can someone please explain to me how DCA is better than DCI? simple answer ~ it can't be explained as better because they are 2 entirely different animals. what can be explained is how someone might prefer one over the other. does that make the one that isn't as preferred wrong, bad, evil, terrible, horrible, et al, ad infinitum? NO. just means that some people prefer different things. it's that type of stuff that makes the world go around, keeps us on our collective toes, and has started war after war. :P so you really aren't going to get a real answer to your question as phrased.
