DCI : goals vs reality

Wow!

Here are some recent alumni posts about this. What do you think?
------------------------------------

I don't think even Don Warren likes what DCI has become. Jim Jones of Troopers, who was also a founder, would be spinning in his grave. It is undoubtedly NOT what the founders intended it to be.

-----------------------------------------

I'm pretty sure that after all of these years in drum corps, Don Warren understands that you cannot predict the future of this activity. I'm sure he knew that DCI was never going to be an intent, but rather a means for organizing. The product was never predictable.
----------------------------------------------------

Ha! Both Jerry and Jim are right! Of course the founders had their ideas .. and 30 years later "times have changed".

All I know is that DCI has (apparently) been a major (but NOT sole) factor in killing off local, community corps.

What did you do in the Corps? drummer

What years were you a Corps member? 1958- 63
