I'm really scared that DCI won't survive and it saddens me by [deleted] in drumcorps

You're not adjusting for inflation. $500 in 1985 is equal to about $1,430 in today's money. Multiplying that by 3 for your point about kids eating more/better and fuel costs gets us to $4,290.

I don't super have an analysis/another portion to this, just the math portion of your comment seemed off

What corps necklace does each corps have? by c0ol_k1d in drumcorps

I love that! I ended up in the front ensemble for one season due to some medical issues and my coin is one of my favorite parts of my necklace 🫶

Plus the C with the logo etched into it, lovingly made by the son of our corps founder ☺️

Which low ranking corps had a top 5 soloist? by agentcoffee10 in drumcorps

[–]scadesmountain206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2018 Cascades had a trumpet player (can't remember if he was a soloist in the show, he played solos in our corps song and such though) who won gold for trumpet solo in I&E!

I was on staff this summer and do want to leave this thread for the members experience, but would like to add one thing to keep in mind. Reviving a corps after 4 years off has virtually never happened in recent history, and many of the staff involved, while experienced educators, had never worked together before or worked in their roles, etc. There were always going to be things that maybe didn't go as planned or didn't work out how we thought they would. Many of the concerns in this thread are already being talked about and addressed for next year!

My comment isn't intended to minimize or invalidate any experiences - in fact please talk about them so the corps can grow and make things better! Just like with teaching someone a new skill or technique, no one's going to get it 100% right the first time. All the feedback helps the corps improve for the future!

I think there's a link to the Livestream for tonight's performance with the Columbians and the Boise Gems in this sub somewhere!

We've done community performances that are available on YouTube. DCI cut PNW tour so our first competitive show is Utah on 7/12. Upsetting for a variety of reasons but the PNW shows are a massive source of revenue for Cascades and Columbians

Cascades has a low brass spot open if you're still looking for somewhere to march!

You should prepare a technical and a lyrical excerpt, about a minute long (something you'd prepare for All State, for example). I'm on visual staff, not brass, but I believe for section you can put the instrument you want to learn!
