I have been following “my” Phantom Regiment since the Beethoven flags (30 years???) Are you trying to lose me? If so, you are doing a great job!! MANY of my friends agree that: THEY WILL NEVER PAY SO MUCH FOR A DVD. Before, WE could watch PBS and then send $$$ to the corp(S) we followed. Now WE won’t. BYE,BYE………….We talked w/the program director of our local PBS station and he said they wish DCI would come back to them as it was very popular and good for PBS. Perhaps you should rethink. We really miss seeing it on TV.

This is depressing DCI, for all the people and even kids that watch this. This broadcast is what got me started in Drum Corps and even got me to join my high school’s marching band. You need to find a way to put this back on ESPN2 or PBS. This inspires a lot of kids DCI, you have to get this back on.

I see that it doesn’t matter to DCI that business vs the interest of the young performers is more important! These young performers put their hearts and souls in this contest and expect it to be broadcast somewhere. As a former performer in a 3 DCI Finals I can speak from experience. I hope that DCI cleans it’s leadership house!!!

I’m hoping that just the pre-orders are $100 for the 1-12 DVD, and that it will later come down to a more reasonable $40 as in the past. If they’re planning on keeping the price jacked-up 250%, then yes I’ll buy one — but then promptly turn my back on all of drum corps. In my mind, Phantom 2008 was the epitome of the art form. I’ve been a fan since 84, and I don’t think there’s a better show to come. From anyone.

I happen to know that it was not DCI’s fault that they stopped broadcasting on PBS. If it were up to them, they never would have left that great station. But PBS ran the finals as a sort of telethon event to raise money and they told DCI they couldn’t justify running the program anymore so they went looking for another station thus the ESPN2 broadcast and now they can’t afford that. So call up PBS and yell at them, DCI should still be televised.

Why no approach Scripps-Howard Broadcasting…the Food Network, Home & Garden Network producers who broadcast the Rose Bowl Parade each New Years Day. It would seem to me that they would have the financial and technical chops to put the DCI Finals togather.
