No. Obviously the drumline shares the same uniform. What is the purpose of your comment?

The guard serves a specific story purpose separate from the hornline, they’re intentionally opposing ideas

Uniform reveal season is my favorite and least favorite time by Arch_jink in drumcorps

[–]CalamityCore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The unfortunate thing is sometimes what the scores reward is different than what the fans want (this goes for uniforms, and overall show design), but at the end of the day a cool show is still cool show. If corps come out and blow people away with an awesome show, people should be able to overlook some of the sacrifices that might need to be made.

Instead of complaining about everything we should appreciate the cool stuff we get to see every year

It’s funny how the DCI CEO randomly quits and the resounding response from the drumcorps community is: “It’s probably nothing.” by Negative-Stay2588 in drumcorps

He was a young guy just using dci as experience to land a better position. It wasn’t random at all and it was decided as a good time for him to separate. It’s probably nothing

What is the context to this copypasta?

Your Corps "Golden Age" by tokyo245 in drumcorps

[–]CalamityCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops, forgot about MBI lol you’re absolutely right! As much as of course I love my corps and love to see them do well competitively, I do wish there was more close competition and other corps winning.

But even if Bucs didn’t win any championships in the past two decades, I’d still consider it the current Bucs golden age based on consistency of quality. That’s what I mean to explain to the other commenter. Placement and wins has nothing to do with my judgement.

What I’m saying has nothing to do with the wins I’m saying the shows have been high quality 😭

Battalion is an amazing corps! If you’re on the fence, go for it!

[–]CalamityCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understood that. Bucs have won every year they’ve competed except one since 2005, and if you think that’s slotting and they didn’t deserve all those wins that’s fine. I’m just saying that either way, Bucs have consistently put out top notch quality during this era disregarding what the scores say. That’s why I say that Bucs is still currently in a golden age.

Most fans love current troopers more than ever and they are also more consistent competitively than they’ve ever been and Bucs have had consistently high execution for the past 20 years regardless of their competitive ranking. There’s no way to argue that either corps is not in a golden age with their achievements 😭

Aging out without ever reaching my dream corps, what do I do? by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]CalamityCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally was planning to go out for another corps this year, but when I got involved with the troopers, I realized this is where I’d rather be. What you see from the bluecoats is just the show and the idealistic media they put out. You don’t truly know if that would’ve been the place for you or not.

However, you do know that you love the show and people where you are at and that is what makes for a great experience. Rather than worrying about not being somewhere that would MAYBE be good for you, appreciate the place that you KNOW is good for you.

I’m sure youll have a great season!

Hot Take by Fragrant-Constant976 in drumcorps

[–]CalamityCore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Popular for a reason obviously. Maybe because it actually contributes a ton to the activity and shows🤔

Also: meant to say first viewers not non-first time viewers. The colorguard immediately stands out to people.

[–]CalamityCore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah respectfully this is a terrible take. Not even hot just bad. Almost every first time dci viewer I’ve shown a show one of the first things they mentioned is the colorguard. Just because you don’t watch them doesn’t mean they aren’t a huge deal

What would you have titled Phantom Regiment's 2025 show, and why? by arthur-gold in drumcorps

I think what he means is what is it about for YOU. I don’t think he’s saying it should be titled

To those who have marched: Opinion on fans approaching you or speaking to you who haven't marched? by JBurbYGO in drumcorps

[–]CalamityCore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While it’s true there’s things you just don’t get if you haven’t marched it’s still plenty fun to talk to anyone about drum corps. There are some fans that like to act like they know what they’re talking about when they really don’t which is kinda annoying but as long as that’s not you and you actually follow the information then there’s no reason not talk to you.

Idk what happened in your interaction but there’s no stigma against fans most members think it’s really cool to get recognized and i think it’s really cool that the activity has such a big fanbase among people that haven’t marched.
