DCI

three little letters that excites a very small portion of the population. It's one thing to be in high school marching band, it's quite another to reach the pinnacle of band nerddom that you even hear about DCI, much less audition and show with a corps.

I was looking up dates for shows this summer; I dont' think I can make any of them, and I don't have anyone to go with anyways, but I can think back fondly to the times I went to Drums of Summer in Broken Arrow, OK with my other band nerd friends.

There's something poignant about that pilgrimage to watch the best marching bands in the world.

A memory I hope I'll have forever is watching Santa Clara Vanguard performing their Russian Christmas Music show as a light summer drizzle descended upon the field, making it almost look like it was snowing. Completely magical.

(my favorite corps: SCV, cavaliers, blue devils)

I was watching a video on youtube of a marching band, i can't recall who it was, but they were awesome <3

there's going to be one in toledo, kari, maybe you could go to it if you were interested.

I have no idea what DCI means, even after reading rubah's first post.


...and deep down, I'm glad. :p

I miss Webb now. Thanks rubahs >: (

The cast of FF IX loves to watch marching bands! Eiko even plays in one when not saving the world from impending doom.

I marched in Cadets in 1999 and absolutely hated it. SCV had a good show that year, though.

(SPOILER)Drum Corps International

I went to a DCI once. > <

Is that like the Vienna Boys of the band world? =O

A guy at work offered me free tickets for one in August. He's offering them to all the past band nerdies <3<3<3

One of my friends is marching in Cadets this summer.

I'll have to think about it, sounds interesting for sure ^_^

I've never been in band but I know what those letters mean.
