    I don't give a sh*t what everyone else says, Cadets looked AWESOME in black.
    2015- Shostakovich 10th Symphony was fantastic.
    Power of Ten
    Ten tubas- Brass won the Jim Ott award.
    Ten snares- Drumline was great
    Guard- WTF? I've seen better high school guards. What Happened?
    Prelims show was electric. Finals was flat. What happened?

      @@luvspaiste Guard struggled with the athleticism of the drill and all they were being asked to do (watch the guard GoPro on my channel from that year). Catie Toal did that one, she later went on to March BD and won. Not a talent issue. They were doing CRAZY stuff at those tempos!
      I recall my prelims semis and finals being consistent and fun! When Bluecoats passed us in semis, the overall moral was low, knowing it was a repeat of the year before where coats passed us on the final night! Nothing we could do!

    Truth be told, I didn’t know about DCI until after I aged out. I was kind of upset about it, but I’m so happy that they had a merger with Drum Corps Associates to introduce the All-Age division. It may not be the same, but it’s the closest this 25 year old will ever get to marching Spirit of Atlanta. Hoping to march in Atlanta CV in the 2025 season! 😊

    One thing I've always disliked as a non-American is that it's called "Drum Corps International". Where does the "international" part come into play? Afaik, it all or mostly takes place in the USA.

    • @Rocdar12
      @Rocdar12  11 часов назад +1

      I used to be confused by this too. I then realized that only the US has “American Football” Fields readily available for rehearsals and performances all over the country. Additionally, the amount of people I marched with from other countries is higher than I would’ve thought!

    I've been a fan of DCI since 1993. But honestly, it lost me when they started to allow electronic instruments and *gasp* microphones. That just a bridge too far. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the size and static nature ifcthe pits these days. I yearn for the days where all instruments had to march. We got a taste of it in 2014 with the Cavalier's marching marimba solo. But that battle was lost decades ago.
