Drum Corps Is Marching Band At The Extreme!
While I was never able to participate in Drum Corps International (DCI) as a youth I have been a very devoted follower each summer of the DCI Summer Music Games circuit. DCI is an international organization of competitive drum and bugle corps (marching bands without the woodwinds) that perform in dozens of cities across the United States each night of the summer months. This page is intended to spur a little interest in the genre and to show you a little of what is happening each week. Please note that I am NOT affiliated with the DCI although I truly wish I was.
Please consider giving this lens a Star Rating to let me know if you like what you see!
Competition in the Marching Activity..Blessing or Curse?
An Examination by Joe Dacey
Recently I have been thinking about the competition aspect of the marching activity and trying to draw on some of my ideas and experience to meditate upon whether this improves the activity or hurts it.
MaestroC's Video Pick Of The Week
DCI 2007 Trailer
Alright. This is a video collage of a few classic drum corps moments that I put together to get people hyped for the past DCI season. Now I have start working on one for 08. EDIT: Ok, some people obviously take this activity way to seriously. This is not biased. I don't have the time nor the resources to find clips for Carolina Crown, Blue Knights, Bluecoats, Mandarins, Blue Devils, etc, etc. If you want them included, send me your clips. But don't complain that this is biased. You want to feature corps that were left out? Make your own video instead of wasting 5 minutes bashing mine, because your comments will be removed.
