@@meli-cruz Have you studied the "history" of drum and bugle corps in the United States? Not "DCI" history, drum corps existed long before DCI started in 1972. It has deteriorated ever since slowly. You only have your own personal experience of marching currently or recently, but I have watched it for more than 50 years. DCI made it impossible financially for the other 16,000 drum corps that existed. There are fewer than 100 I believe now? from 16,000+ nation wide
