To further exemplify the lame jokes and misunderstandings about people involved with marching bands (courtesy of the American Pie movies, no doubt), I am straight up band dork. I was very glad to see this thread! I probably won't make it to a show this year, but in the past three years I attended Drums Across the Tristate at Marshall University. By far, I think my favorite corps. is the Cadets (of Burgan(sp?) County). I also like watching the championships on PBS. It's a great experience to go to a DCI show, for both band people and those of you who missed out on all the fun
