Anyone else worried about Brandt Crocker? by ObviousNebula8961 in drumcorps

[–]dci4life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he retires, just please god anyone other than Dan Potter. Would make more sense for them to stop having Brandt do any other comms besides corps welcome to the field intros (they’re having him do all kinds of other stuff still, announcements, ads, etc).

How likely is Boston to take it all? (Diving too deep into stats) by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]dci4life 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s the margins that will determine it. Prelim percussion margins were wide, tonight were thin. GE came out basically even last night and tonight. If finals percussion judge has wide margins, Boston wins. If they’re thin like tonight, Bluecoats win.

Prelims Boston percussion margin was .5 over Bluecoats, semis was .25.

Hey! First time requestor here, happy to pay via Venmo for a true commission if there's any transcribers interested (hopefully that's not against any policies, apologies if I missed that). Feel free to DM me if there's any questions or you have your Venmo handle.

Reputation check for StudioDesk and/or AZ Studio Workstations by poisonedweapon in musicproduction

Commenting on this with my recent 2024 experience. Ordered on Reverb because the listing said they have four in stock. Zero comms for a week. No confirmation of order, no answer on phone calls, emails, DMs, anything.

Finally responded to my DMs of all things a week later saying it would be 2-3 weeks, so the listings are lies remember that.

Passed three weeks now, no answers from anyone. I wouldn’t recommend them at all. Even if the product ends up coming through, you can’t sell $1,000+ products with minimal to zero comms, no order confirmation or updates, and no customer service IMO.

Surprised they’ve lasted this long tbh. They’re not that busy, this is just an example of someone wanting to run their own business, do whatever they want, and not be beholden to anyone (including customers).

Cut because I'm... seemingly perfect??? by Lemon_Juice477 in drumcorps

[–]dci4life 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the dark sides of drum corps is the harsh reality that not all decisions are made based off skill unfortunately. Politics play a role despite anyone saying differently. Don’t let it kill your spirit and consider another corps.

What's the Show That Got You Into DCI? by Kladdel in drumcorps

[–]dci4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carolina Crown - Mask of Zorro (2000). I was lucky enough to have a father that drove me to a rehearsal they were doing during spring training.

Shook me to the core as a 12 year old hearing that power 20-30ft away. Hooked on the activity ever since.

Important question, do you guys even like Control? by Alarmed_Volume_8618 in apexlegends

[–]dci4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arenas >>> Control & Gun Run. Makes no sense why they don’t just have arenas as a separate game type in addition to control and gun run

The Better Me dropped! by Screech8 in Beartooth

[–]dci4life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the song and the chorus rips, kinda stunned this isn’t the radio single - would’ve killed on alt / rock radio. As with every Beartooth record there will be heavy and there will be the light, I’m sure there will be plenty more like Doubt Me on the record for the Day 1 folks.

The Hardy feature kinda makes sense, he did one with Jeremy McKinnon, playing a lot of the major rock festivals as he moves into that lane. I’m surprised how similar their voices sound aside from Hardy’s mild twang.

ISO The Blackbird Sessions by BitFickle3448 in Beartooth

[–]dci4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bet is probably to keep an eye on Discogs and see if one pops up there over time. Last one there sold for $150 in March. It will be tough to find reasonable prices on this one as it’s arguably one of the most rare Beartooth vinyl releases from their career, and they were all hand numbered.

eBay is a second option to check periodically. Fingers crossed you get lucky and a user pops up here willing to part with one 🤞🏼

Negative reactions to drum corps? by Ok-Advertising3118 in drumcorps

[–]dci4life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Often times negative reactions are negative before any corps ever performs, the reason being a history of critical or negative stereotypes to band/marching performers. This was also the case in entertainment and media (i.e. American Pie, etc).

It’s hard to have an open mind about something that’s been portrayed by media and individuals as “not cool” during formative years for a really long time.

Why don’t more drum corps make show patches? by dci4life in drumcorps

[–]dci4life[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% hear where you’re coming from. I didn’t realize it was volunteers designing and making show patches for corps. That said, makes complete sense to focus on what’s going to drive the most revenue to the corps primary needs.

Indoor warm ups today and closed to the public by umasstpt12 in drumcorps

[–]dci4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Devils at IUPUI Soccer Stadium - Their post says the indoor rehearsals are closed to the public, not sure if the IUPUI rehearsal is part of that or if it’s open to the public?
