The incredible band nerd debate. WGI or DCI?
by Kinda Long Hair Fri Oct 15, 2010 11:30 pm
I discussed this at lunch, and I think this is a pretty hot question. I would rather march Crossmen (A semi-decent DCI band) then Rhythm X (an extremely dominate WGI type deal). So mine would be DCI (While I would be happy to march crossmen, I would kill to march Phantom Regiment)
In this thread we could also post videos and discuss and compare groups from the different sections.
For me?
Blue Stars (DCI) or Rhythm X (WGI)? Rhytm X
Teal Sound (DCI) or Gateway (WGI)? Gateway
Blue Knights (DCI) or Resistance (WGI?) Considering that the Resistance will be established later this year, I would have to go with Blue Knights. But it's oh so hard.
Caviliers (DCI) or Rhythm X (WGI)? Caviliers
Bluecoats or Phantom Regiment (both DCI)? Phantom Regiment
video thyme!

I AM a band geek (#FrenchHornforthewin), and I didn't understand any of that.
Let's make this a band geek joke thread instead.
Now, wasn't that WAY more fun than arguing about weird acronyms? Tune in next time for...vocalist jokes!
Let's make this a band geek joke thread instead.
- Spoiler:
- How many trumpet players does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Six: one to do it, and five to talk loudly about how much better THEY could have done it.
How many saxophone players does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Eight: One to do it, and seven to contemplate how Charlie Parker would have done it.
What's the difference between trumpet players and government bonds?
Government bonds eventually mature.
How to trumpet players traditionally greet each other?
"Hi. I'm better than you."
How do you know when a trumpet player is at your door?
The doorbell shrieks!
How can you make a French Horn sound like a trombone?
Take your hand out of the bell and lose all sense of taste.
Or...
Take your hand out of the bell and miss all of the notes!
How many trombonists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just one, but he'll do it too loudly.
How do you know when there's a trombonist at your door?
His hat says "Domino's Pizza"
(As much as it pains me, here they are...)
What do you get when you cross a French Horn player and a goalpost?
A goalpost that can't march.
How many French horn players does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just one, but he'll spend two hours checking the bulb for alignment and leaks.
A girl went out on a date with a trumpet player, and when she came back her roommate asked, "Well, how was it? Did his embouchure make him a great kisser?"
"Nah," the first girl replied. "That dry, tight, tiny little pucker; it was no fun at all."
The next night she went out with a tuba player, and when she came back her roommate asked, "Well, how was his kissing?"
"Ugh!" the first girl exclaimed. "Those huge, rubbery, blubbery, slobbering slabs of meat; oh, it was just gross!"
The next night she went out with a French horn player, and when she came back her roommate asked, "Well, how was his kissing?"
"Well," the first girl replied, "his kissing was just so-so; but I loved the way he held me!"
How many tuba players does it take to change a light bulb?
Three! One to hold the bulb and two to drink 'till the room spins.
These two tuba players walk past a bar...
Well, it could happen!
(Not even MMM is exempt:)
What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians?
A drummer.
What did the drummer get on his IQ test?
Drool.
How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb?
"Why? Oh, wow! Is it like dark, man?"
OR:
Only one, but he'll break ten bulbs before figuring out that they can't just be pushed in.
OR EVEN:
None. They have a machine to do that.
Why is it good that drummers have a half-ounce more brains than horses?
So they don't disgrace themselves in parades.
Now, wasn't that WAY more fun than arguing about weird acronyms? Tune in next time for...vocalist jokes!

How 'bout this one?
How do you tell trombonists from other band nerds?
Set them out on a playground. The trombonists can't swing and they can't use the slide.
(Orch dork here so I get to make fun of both of you)

DCI: Think NFL of Marching Band (google)
WGI: Think what would happen if the Pit and drumline were locked in a gym for seven months with all their equipment
As for all the drummer jokes, they're mostley true. Example:
Center Snare: One two three lights off (turns lights off0
Bass 4: IM BEING RAPED! IM BEING RAPED! IM BEING RAPED!
Director: Stand at attention
Tenor Player: (shoves a spock up the person in front of him's butt)
Director: You guys are too tense,you need to loosen up
Anyone: Your mom needs to lossen up
Bass three: You gonna try out for DCI?
Me: Yeah. I'll probly make center snare Phantom Regiment. You on the other hand will prolly make outside snare Teal Sound?
Bass three: Are you saying I suck? Who are the Teal Sound anyway?
Me: I don't know. all I know was I saw their Facebook page, and I had a strong urge not to like them.
Bass Three: Hey (center snare), You'll prolly be Teal Sound's watergirl
Me: (while watching the video of our performance) At our audible, cheer for it.
Bass three: WHOOOO YEAH DRUMLINE BEST IN THE STATE!!!! (no one else cheers)
Me: I didn't think you'd actually do it! Cheer for our next audbile
(Everyone cheers except for Bass three)
And today, we had drumline lunch at louise, and we poured salt, rep pepper, cheese, ranch, hot sauce, sugar, and tons of katchup into a cup, hid it in between three menues, put 15 cents on top of it, and left.
I was gonna say something else, but I forgot

OH YEAH Our center snare payed with a credit card at lunch, and signed his name as "Banished Beyond" (google it, bro)

katchuptm is my favorite condiment!
not only is it made from real tomatos, it is also pumped full of several mild reverse sedatives and an a**ton of methanephetamine with just a dash of amphetamine. you'll be "K"atchin up in no time! do sports and literally decimate your opponents in a ruff 'm tuff tm battle for katchpremacy!tm
after using katchup on all of your favorite food store items AND beverages, you can finally start up real explosions with your out of sync life, leaving patterns on what you desire! when you wake up from a deep sleep, you'll feel like speed racer! when you play peek a boo with someone, part of you will get so serious you will want a time out for fun, but don't worry, that's good!

katchup is a fraud
no drug is called a "reverse sedative"

Hey I'm gonna be joining marching band soon. Mellophone, naturally. This topic has "band" in it so it's prolly the best place to put it.

Don't worry-I'll try to stay true to my video game geek side here. In real life I'm MUCH more of a band geek, especially when one of those choir momzers is around and needs to be put in his/her/its place.
