Even though I was playing trombone in school, I was on the dark path to being a fan of synthesized music before I started marching.
Not too long after I started, my music collection began losing all the synth junk, which was gradually replaced by nearly every flavor of stuff performed by live musicians -- often in acoustic settings. From classical & modern symphonic works to metal and cool jazz, as long as there were
people performing instead of computers, I enjoyed it.
The rest of the kids in corps weren't there to support a football team, get out of gym class, or anything else. They were there to perform. Simple as that.
For a Thursday night, they made a lot more money than they would have with their usual stuff. If what I saw was representative of what happened everywhere, DCI at the movie theaters was a big financial success. Expect more.
