A friend sent me a tape from Japan, and I can't identify the series. All I have is the cover:

Rahr, that's not what I'm talking about. Drum Corps International is basically "professional" marching band. Visit [url=http://www.dci.org]DCI[/url] for more information. They have small quicktime videos for sampling. I recommend The Cavaliers, Blue Devils, and The Cadets.

Is anyone a fan? It seems out of most of the people I know (out of HS MB) no one hasn't heard of Drum Corps. I personally, adore it. Outstanding visual combined with beautiful music, what's not to love? What's your favorite?

Personally, I think it's a female.

I like a large variety. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of classical, and Eurobeat. As for Avril Lavigne, I think it's hilarious that her following criticizes the music she plays.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Anna [/i] [B]Sylph- Yep, in fact our first competition of the season is next Saturday. o.O scary... We're only A/AA though, our band really downsized when we got our new director about two years ago. Everything's on the uptake now however, so hopefully we'll do better this year, and I think we are. What's y'all's show? We're doing "We're An Amercian Band", "American Woman", "Amazing Grace", our drumbreak ~_^, and "Georgia On My Mind". In case you can't tell the obvious, our director wanted to have a patriotic show. >_< Oh well, at least it's a little original in its own right... [/B][/QUOTE] Congratulations, and good luck in your competition! ^_^ Our first competition was just this Saturday. Although, we were hosting, so we didn't actually compete. Our first actual competition is next Saturday. We're a group three band, though, numbering around sixty/seventy members. Oh, and don't worry about the downsizing of your band. I'm sure after people get used to your band director, things will build back up. Our show is titled, "Images in Contrast". It's made up of three movements, which I can't seem to remember the titles of at the moment. They're wonderful pieces, and the person who wrote our drill (Nate Holland) wrote for Drum Corps, so as you can imagine, it's difficult/exciting stuff. This is going to be an incredibly successful year. Last year, the show (Ghost Train) landed our band in the top 20 of ACCs (Atlantic Coast Championships), so I can only speculate what is to come. Again, good luck in the competition! =D Band Geeks Forever!

As for me, I play French Horn and Alto Saxophone. Anna, that's nifty you're in marching band. I am as well. ^_^ Currently, I'm learning Flute, as I'd like to march it more then the Alto Saxophone. Out of curiosity Anna, is your marching band competitive?

I tried watching, but it just became too corny for me. Everything seemed so fake, and I can't help but wonder if that show really was.

If so, please share which instrument, and why you play it.

Yes, it is an opinion, I'm not denying that. It's just a pet peeve of mine; I really can't stand how people say they [b]hate[/b] a certain type of music, as it may all be due to a lack of exposure.

Said the member who does absolutely nothing but contributes his moronic sarcasm to threads started by people who couldn't really give a damn. As for it being a stupid assumption, I strongly disagree. If you haven't figured it out yet, there are just as many ignorant people online, as there are off, which you have clearly expressed through your wonderful (but incredibly pointless) four-word sentence.

While I don't hate rap (as I think it's insanely ridiculous to hate a genre of music), it's not something I listen to very often. Because of this, I don't think I am fit to criticize Eminem's work. However, I don't like his stance on many things (homosexuality, women, etc.).

I'm sure if it were two women slobbering on each other, he'd feel differently. Sad truth, it is.

Poor Hakuei... I like the message the banner convey, though.

GinnyLyn, I'm afraid your signature image isn't working; for me, it isn't, anyway.

If we can include characters from manga, I'd like to add [url=http://hanayume.net/EsperS/gallery/kai_xmas.jpg]Kai Kudou[/url] from EsperS.

I'd like to become a vocalist for some random band. If not, I'd enjoy teaching history to college students.

Would you be surprised if I told you the figure in my avatar is male? And I am, as well. I'm not offended... As for Faye, I dislike her for no apparent reason. Maybe it's because everyone likes her? The banner is nice though.

Yum. But... Faye?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]I don't understand what they're saying and I still like it...Where does this fasination with lyrics come from all of the sudden? Why do people care if you can't or can't understand anything they say? You can't understand anything thats in English now-a-days. And there's this focus on lyrics all the sudden when you hear foreign music.This was never heard in AMerican music. You can't care about lyrics to American music. If there was a really bad written song with GREAT lyrics, you wouldn't like it. You don't need lyrics to understand songs. Thats why MUSIC is instrumental, not lyrical. That would be singing. [/B][/QUOTE] So true. What ever happened to music being the "universal language"? On any note, I adore L'Arc~en~Ciel. Such an amount of talent compiled into four men. If I had to pick a favorite single, I would probably say "NEO UNIVERSE". hyde's vocals make me shiver. So do his looks, but what can I say...

I'm not really sure if I like the concept of online journals. It's just so shallow. Not to mention the horrible "friends" feature most have. If you're looking for people to read your journal, be sure to include an incredible layout.

Personally, I feel the best way to capture the series in a video game would be to push it in the direction of online gaming. While it wouldn't increase popularity of the series, it certainly would make for an incredible game.
