@@Torqueasi part of me really wants to know what they all mean, because I was never able to March, and this summer would be my age out year. But, I guess I just missed my opportunity to find out for myself. I'll still always be a huge fan of DCI, always.
Drum corps have a habit of using a facade of “secrecy” to cover up any inconvenient truth underneath. "Our show meaning is secret." (Really? Why?) "Our motto is secret." (Why secret?) "Our show theme is secret until we announce it. (I heard it's not even completed yet.) Don’t lie and say it’s secret, tell the truth. Same with corps mantras. They're not "secret". They're embarrassing. Phantom’s SUTA is simply an acronym for “stick it up their ass”. It’s a crass expression from the 1970s when drum corps was a fiercely competitive, blue-collar, military-style activity. Phantom has since modified the underlying words and kept the acronym the same.
At first, the Cavaliers’ famously shouted slogan "Splooie!" appears to be nothing more than an ejaculation onomatopoeia. But the origin of the word has a more twisted scatalogical story underneath where a member inadvertently marked a bathroom stall with explosive diarrhea before a show, but persevered and performed anyway- a metaphor for resilience and steadfastness. The early years of drum corps in the 1970s had a more crass and blue collar membership with more military culture. Now these crass retro slogans no longer fit the sophisticated membership, many of whom march for only one season in any one corps before migrating to another. As a result, their loyalty for any corps motto is diminished. Many of the raw mottos are from an era when there was a different member demographic and psychographic. The vulgar mottos of the 70's haven't aged well, and they're a telling commentary on the growth and maturity of the membership over the decades.
Over half of my bands staff this year consisted of recent DCI age-outs, the show was written by an SCV alum. Anyways my band director was the contra section leader for Phantom (22), and we have a good guess for what it is, but he told us SUTA has mulitple meanings. So i guess that doesn't help lol. Also we got a 1 at states yesterday w
My kids asked me what SUTA means..
I told them to go practice more and find out for themselves. It'll mean more that way.
My drum tech was on SCV from 2018-21 and when I asked him about JONZ, he looked me in my eyes and said absolutely nothing until we changed topics.
@@QuietRadioTV It really is more special when you find out on your own.

@@squillz8310 You could always volunteer with the corps. They're always looking for help

6 words: what the fuck does SUTA mean?
Funny thing is Guardians actually used that Blades of Glory clip in their ‘17 show. No idea why.
It was part of the Kanye song they sampled.... like a double sample
The 6 words are "Don't eat meat, eat a splooie." But shhhhh don't tell anyone.
