GregZ Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Side note about the state of the activity: DCI is on a trend to have their championships attendance (adding up all corps in all classes) in the 30s as well. Unfortunately, their trend is the opposite of DCA's... And they wonder why??? Thank goodness DCA still does DRUM CORPS, although I just saw in another thread that amps may be approved at some point.

TomPeashey Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Ed... as I said... that was the official DCA announcement... those things all come from Fred. DCA would not make a special press release each time an application is received. However, he also would not have put it on DCP if it wasn't so.

CallipygianKing Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 And they wonder why??? Thank goodness DCA still does DRUM CORPS, although I just saw in another thread that amps may be approved at some point. And here I thought that DCA is increasing due to smart growth and management geared toward helping the little guy get off the ground, whereas DCI seems more focused on promoting headliners and mainstreaming the image of drum corps. Perhaps we should save the whining about amps for a different thread. Anywho, here's the link to the Imperials' website, Ed... http://www.pathwayproductions.org/imperials.htm It seems that the only time they're fielding for competition this year is in Rochester. Hopefully this springboards them into more field shows, much like the Lakeshoremens' decision to do DCA last year seems to have really boosted their program. Maybe the Imperials will get into some earlier-season shows next summer, especially since they're right in the thick of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJH Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 psst ~ there's an alumni corps out there using amps. guess they aren't really drum corps and they suck too right? They're Alumni. They can do whatever they want. I've been to about 4 Alumni Spectaculars and I've never seen an amp. I've seen chairs for members who needed to sit during the park & bark, but no amps. Who is carrying an amp? The Stealthmen? If it's the-bass-guitar-subbing-for-contras-trick, I can almost stand that, but if you want to sing, get in the I & E chorus competition.

I wouldn't dare say anything like that to their faces, though... Now, before this gets too far, how about we save our amp gripes for the DCA amp thread?
