HBCU Student Reacts to Carolina Crown 2014 DCI Show~ Out Of This World | Rogersbros 

😂🤣😂 thanks!

I vote to formally change the name to stanky leg

And, yes, in the South, this is called the "stanky leg". lol

I second the motion to refer to it as stanky leg

He actually used to march for WCU in the fall and had a call with the judge after the event to reminisce on the moment from both of their perspectives. Such a great video if you haven’t checked it out before.

Lmao 🤣

Thanks! I didn’t notice that! I wish I did. That’s cool.

@@OfficialRogersBrosit was when the percussion stopped playin the chimes thingys. They all switched to high brass

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯

M​@@OfficialRogersBrosand they always do a Crown formation. That's was the formation before the UFO. - Marching 101 alum.

@@TheTeamIsSHaRP thanks for informing me! Definitely great info.. 101 as in 10..1 👀👀👀 SCSU?

@@OfficialRogersBros Yes

Dope I also marched in the 101

Noted

Is there a reason why they named the event The Drum Corps International.....then, they didnt just say Corps

@@Blackice0318 the full term for a corps is a Drum and Bugle Corps, but since they don't use actual bugles anymore they just call them drum corps. Drum Corps International is the organization that hosts these competitions

@beardedpike3881 ok i see what you saying, DCI is the governing body of the drum and bugle corp groups, so under DCI the groups are just known as Corps, not necessarily Drum Corps, makes sense....i know alot of times high stepping marching band heads normally refer to the Corps as DCI style, just to reference that style of marching and performing

@@Blackice0318 well they are still called drum corps, you would just call them corps for short. but yeah

I went back and saw it but it was pretty smooth tho lol

To my knowledge corps don’t have woodwinds… that’s as far as I know

​​@@OfficialRogersBrosMarching bands and Drum & Bugle Corps developed independently of each other with stark differences in org structure, instrumentation and performance opportunities. Marching bands are directly affiliated with schools (high school/collegiate), utilize instrumentation that loosely resembles a concert band, and primarily perform at football games - though many units participate in varying degrees of competitive marching band events throughout the Fall as well. Early Drum & Bugle Corps were largely formed by community non-profit organizations like VFW/American Legion posts and boy scout troops. These units molded their style and instrumentation to resemble military bands that utilized drums and bugles to communicate in the field. With these roots, performance precision and discipline have always been top priorities, though the activity has evolved over the decades to incorporate growing degrees of creativity and artistic innovation. Instrumentation has also steadily drifted closer to marching bands, most notably with the gradual shift from traditional bugles to the more typical 3-valved horns and the inclusion of trombones. As it stands now, the broad exclusion of woodwinds remains the single largest instrumentation difference between corps and bands. For additional context, Drum & Bugle Corps hold auditions in Nov/Dec and convene periodically for camp weekends throughout the spring before transitioning to an all-encompassing commitment around Memorial Day weekend when corps move in to begin all-day rehearsals before embarking on a 7-8 week national competitive tour in late June. These tours are massive logistical undertakings with each corps consisting of a caravan of 3+ full-size tour buses for the 150+ performers, 2 customized semi trailers (1 for instruments/uniforms/equipment & 1 traveling industrial kitchen that produces 700+ meals a day), multiple smaller trailers (additional equipment, mobile souvenir both, etc.) and vans for the instructional staff and volunteers. These fleets often travel through the night between predetermined host sites (typically high schools) where the corps will set up to sleep on gym floors and utilize the facilities to rehearse and shower before heading to their next competition or housing site. This gruelling national tour culminates at the DCI World Championships over the 2nd weekend in August; after which, corps members return to their homes and transition back into "normal" life. Start to finish, a season of drum corps is truly one of the most challenging, and rewarding, experiences a young adult can accomplish.

Corps came from post WWII tradition as a youth activity with the surplus equipment from the war, with drums and bugles and color guard, no woodwinds. Bands were started for parades and entertainment, and in America especially for halftime entertainment for football games. There are various styles, like military (Texas A&M for example), Big10 (Ohio State), or HBCU (Southern University). Eventually the two intermingled and created a syncretism of both. Modern drum and bugle corps wanted to focus on the creative aspect of field shows and created DCI. Some bands especially at the high school level followed suit with DCI as the model, creating "corps style" bands.
