"Twitchy"


I worked 4 hours, with no breaks, on the video in this article. You should watch it. I've been really "twitchy" about the whole thing...I made this for my followers on Twitter for Valentines Day so I decided that I should share it also. It's a video of clips of DCI drum corps made to the music of Long Live by Taylor Swift. Now, you should watch it...Because I worked 4 hours straight FOR YOU! <3
The only excuse you have is that you are on a mobile phone. Sadly, if you are on mobile you can't view the video because an unknown reason. :( BUT find a laptop or computer then watch it. Thank you for watching this in advance.

  • DCI a.k.a. Drum Corps International
  • It's pronounced "core" not "corpse
  • For lack of better words, it's a PROFESSIONAL marching band league
  • It doesn't actually have marching bands, it has corps.
  • Corps are made up of color guard, brass, and percussion players (no, not woodwinds).
  • DCI was founded in 1972
  • There are several corps that are the favorties of DCI fans.
  • There are open class and world class corps.
  • Typically more people talk about world class corps.
  • Their are championships held all over the country in the summer.
