Almost 5,000 signatures for petition ‘Keep DCI Unique’
A lot of drum corps fans are qorried about DCI's recent rule change to allow any type of brass instruments on the field. An online petition has been singed by almost 5,000 fans so far.
On 7th February 2014, Drum Corps International passed a new rule stating that all brass instruments are allowed to march on the drum corps field. This includes French horns, sousaphones, and trombones. "Those who have followed drum corps for years know that this change is not only breaking many traditions, but is moving the activity to be a lot closer to high school and college marching band", according to the anonymous creator of the petition.
"Drum Corps International is always looking to innovate the activity, which is great and sometimes needed, but this new change is unnecessary and some would say even sad. Help us in our journey into keeping DCI unique and for maintaining the traditions that has made the organization and activity what it is today."
At this moment, 4,941 people signed the petition.
