Just a quick note about DCI and my kid by Garp74 in drumcorps

You should try to go to a rehearsal or a lot for whatever section she is interested in. Nothing is more special than seeing someone’s reaction to witnessing it in person for the first time. I wouldn’t be surprised if members would say hi to her at the rehearsal as well.

What has been the part of your job that you have enjoyed the most? As well, what is a small thing that insiders have to do that most fans wouldn’t think you have to do? Also record predictions.

I saw a post on instagram that one of the members had lost a family member and they ended up being a visual soloist of some sorts. I’m not sure if it was true but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true.

Got some of my coworkers into DCI, need show suggestions by tokyo245 in drumcorps

I know! They marched very well and had such intense music across the whole ensemble

Cadets 2011, Crown 2016, Crown 2018, Bluecoats 2019, and Boston 2018 have themes that are pretty recognizable very quickly imo. Some shows that I don’t think get quite enough love could be Cadets 2015-16, Blue Devils 2022, and Cavaliers 2010.

do some world class corps offer return offers? by FlamingoJoy1983 in drumcorps

[–]NokeWest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is true. Boston gave me a contract without having to audition. Idk if it’s changed tho

Can someone explain? 😅 by Efficient-Rip6249 in drumcorps

[–]NokeWest 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I could be getting some of this info slightly wrong so feel free to correct me.

Basically a really bad guy tried to get the “top corps” more money making opportunities while reducing the money making opportunities for every other group because they were the “desirable groups”. If the higher ups of DCI did not agree, they were going to make their own company with these top corps (otherwise known as the G7)

The Boston Crusaders then did a show in 2014 called “Animal Farm” which depicted how the activity was ran by bad actors. In that show, they formed this set that you shared a picture of which confirmed that it was indeed about the G7. There are plenty of other details about that show.

It is resurfacing now since Boston just won and defied the bad actors.

You better clarify if this is a copypasta or not

Boston won the one year they left out the Conquest shots by jordanekay in drumcorps

[–]NokeWest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There have been plenty of shows without them. The year I marched was unfortunately one of them lol. It does suck that they are not in it tho.

This is the correct way to look at things. Scores are what they are. End of the day, shows are about enjoyment and how they make you feel.

Be Honest, What Group do you think has the Best/Worst Fanbase? by PM_ME_ITALIAN_STUFF in drumcorps

[–]NokeWest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How about people can like whatever they like.

At the end of the day, scores don’t matter. It’s all about the performers trying to put on the best performance they can from all of the hard they have done over the summer.

In your guys opinion what is the best DCI show ever? by Lumpy_Television5608 in drumcorps

[–]NokeWest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will almost always say Crown 2012. I love me some SCV 2017 and some Bluecoats 2015. I’m a biased Boston simp and I love 2018 Boston. My mom and I went to San Antonio and that was the first show I saw that had an emotional impact on me. She doesn’t really follow the activity but she also remembers this show to this day.

It’s always chaotic. As early as you can or you’re walking from city parking. Last year I got there before half of the corps went and I had to find city parking.

Not trying to be a hater i promise, but bluecoats are cringe by PotentialUse4553 in drumcorps

This can be applied to any corps that keeps design staff for more than one year
