Well, it’s better than The Ocho. Drum Corps now joins the ranks with the likes of cheerleading and other pseudo-sports. DCI World Championships will be aired on ESPN2 this year, finally getting away from PBS. Look for it on Saturday, September 6, from 9:00 to 11:00 pm.
Ah, yes good news. My question is will the broadcast be BETTER than the PBS broadcast? I did not care for the PBS broadcast.
I expect the program will be very similar to the ones broadcast over the last few years. It looks like the TV broadcast will be for the masses and an attempt to get more mainstream people into the activity, and the cinecast will be for true fans who want to experience a night of drum corps.
Ah, well then I suppose I won’t waste my time with ESPN, but it is a great thing for sure.
