dbc03 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Still waiting for a compelling argument against Drum Corps being Marching Band. "Because I say so and you should die if you don't agree" is pretty compelling! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Has anyone mentioned the fact that many DCI corps have a huge fan base of hundreds of thousands of people who were never even involved with the corps? Most of the audience at Grand Nationals are parents, alumni., etc. There is a much higher percentage of "fans" (as opposed to just "supporters") at DCI finals out of the total audience than there is at Grand Nationals. Just worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegimentContra94 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Does the fan base change the activity? Most people at a high school football game are parents, but football is football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynolimits Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I think it depends on wether your asking is it "techinically the same" or is it plain and simply completely exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 This thread has been fairly worn out. Let the bandos think what they want and Drum Corps reign supreme. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein On The Beach Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 There's the old arrogance! 90% of DCI corp members are "bandos." I resent that .....but yeah, you're right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The human species is carnivorous; therefore, even vegetarians are carnivores. But to call a vegetarian a carnivore is thoroughly misleading. Describing a drum corps as a marching band to those familiar with the two species would be just as misleading.

jetman1287 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I think this is made into a big deal because corps people usually have some arrogance to go with what they do. Yes, execution and visual design is better, we allll understand that...but corps people would not exist if they weren't "trained" in mb.
