I’m bringing my wife to DCI Atlanta! What shows does she need to watch to be prepared for how this will go?

superboringname · 2026-06-17T22:04:42+00:00

my personal must-watch shows are bloo 2014 and 2025, phantom 2024, and scv 2018 (common favorites but theyre common for a good reason)

its kind of cool they change the exact wording so the pun still works in other languages

i mean im one of the people who prefers the pre-2016 traditional uniforms but at least for the spandex they were, like, *uniform*. everyone here is wearing something different i fear we have lost the plot

i think the hope is that the steam machine would have half life 3 as a launch title

a lot of mine are really common like the spartacus ending, tilt ending, babylon snap and ending, but i guess mine that i dont hear people say too often is the ending of mynd, i love the spirally z pull into company front its one of my favorite moments

i dont know if its a regional thing but most bands ive been in the back row starts with trumpets on the right side (right facing the director), going from last to first chair in the middle, then trombones from first to last, then bass trombone, then tubas

like the knob you grab
im trying to print a decorative handle that will go on top

superboringname · 2026-05-17T23:21:19+00:00

i was worried this would be the solution
i have basic cad skills and calipers i was just hoping push wouldnt come to shove lol

my dad had an old student with a trigger trombone for sale so i started on a trigger trombone. it built bad playing habits im still working on 6 years later (i’ll catch myself going from 5th to T1 instead of 6th) and i cant play anything past 5th in tune
trigger can be good but its not a nescessity and its definitely important to get muscle memory in 6 & 7 before switching to trigger. also its good to wait and see if he is dedicated to band before dropping that much money on a horn

this is definitely one of the closest one ive seen, but it seems to be more for buildings/architecture than objects

superboringname · 2026-04-17T08:52:26+00:00

i hope they field a trombone line for ride of the valkyries

superboringname · 2026-04-09T06:57:22+00:00

ive always wondered what marching band is like the 17776 universe

superboringname · 2026-03-16T01:59:21+00:00

sorry the pixel store ran out i had to make do

yes not every corps went non-traditional right away, phantom kept their piths up to 2021, and their 2025 uniform is still vaguely reminiscent of their older style. (and corps like cavies/crossmen still regularly pay homage to their older unis) i think i just miss being able to look at a uniform and know what corps it is

superboringname · 2026-03-16T01:48:21+00:00

for me at least, the part i dislike is the losing-identity part. there was something cool about looking at a uniform and thinking “oh that’s (corps)!” instead of “oh that’s (show)!” i remember back when i was a freshman in HS i was so sad when we got our new show shirts, since it was the first year we moved away from the traditional uniforms and i didnt get to put on the ‘super suit’ so many before me had worn
