DCI cant dance like them drum majors. AWesome drum majors. In the Miami Heat street band we do alot of this stuff :D

[M3ssageT4k3n]

@JoannaPreee thats because drum majors are supposed to conduct, not dance...

[JoannaPreee]

@M3ssageT4k3n true, true..still awesome to watch.

[anonymousowa1]

@M3ssageT4k3n Not true. Frankly I've seen this complaint many a time when assessing HBCU bands. The styles are simply different, and part of the difference is that the drum majors traditionally perform on the field with the band during performances. If anything its a credit to the band that they don't require a drum major conducting to keep time. Please, just because you grew up believing something don't assume it applies to everyone else.

[anonymousowa1]

@JoannaPreee Because DCI performances are typically more complex in their meter and tempo, drum majors are required to direct the performance. With most HBCU bands performing popular music in common time and constant tempo as long as the band is able to keep time on its own there's no reason to have a drum major conducting the same tempo the whole time, which is why HBCU drum majors perform alongside their band. Though sometimes they do conduct more technically challenging pieces.

[JoannaPreee]

yeah, in my senior year of highschool, our show was more DCI. i dont like it as much, lol

[windjammer962]

And what are those "standards"? The "player" that can get the biggest blat out of a Sousaphone gets 1st chair? Crooked lines are still crooked whether it's DCI or in Florida.

[windjammer962]

Pretty piss poor noise, lines and moves erratic. They wouldn ' t finish in the top 50 in a Drum Corp Int. competition. And people die for this?

[7thSwell]

@windjammer962 This is not a DCI band so the standards and style are different. You're comparing apples to oranges sir.

[mizzday100]

@7thSwell Added to that, how can you judge the sound quality from a video on Youtube??

[KRandMJ]

They all think the Bigger and Louder the better, well that's ALL you get with this Band. There is no Balanced ROUND sound, it's BLASTISIMO. I am NOT impressed.
