I love DCI!
I used to be a huge fan of the Blue Devils and Phantom Regiment, but now I don't have any loyalties. A ton of people I went to music school with did corps (Cavies, Cadets, Madison Scouts) and some went on to do Blast! and Shockwave (the new Blast!).
When I was in high school, I was in a senior corps based out of houston called Bayou City Blues (made up mostly of people who aged out of junior corps, mostly men in their 20's to 50's! Old Skool people, but it was open to all ages). It was fun and laid back. Pretty much drill-less corps that was about playing music and going on a "tour" once a year in the summer around fourth of July. We went to Milwaukee Summerfest and a bunch of parades in places like Racine, Kenosha, and suburbs of Chicago.
My parents NEVER would have let me actually go away for a whole summer and march a real corps! I was pretty sheltered and that would have scandalized me or something! My mom is a fan too though!
Oh yeah, and YES this needs to be moved on over to CHIT CHAT!
