The best part is DCI shows are still family-friendly. It was a resounding success, with standing room only in the stadium. Now we are organizing a new group of like-minded people, those with an interest in bringing more of the same to the area, and are targeting another, larger show for Gulfport, MS, in the year 2000. Click on the link to our Orientation Page . This is part of how we educate people - to teach them what drum corps is all about, why it's so exciting, and what goes on during a contest.
Nothing teaches a person more effectively than seeing someone else do something.
Many times, just by seeing a performance several levels above your own capability, you will be inspired to put forth greater effort, resulting in higher levels of achievement for all. We also believe there is a huge population of adults and youth in the Gulf Coast region who would love drum corps, but they just don't know it yet. Another of our goals is to reach as many of these people as we can, and educate them about what they're missing with DCI and other performing arts competitions. Please email one of our Board of Directors for more information. The second part of this goal is to grow the Mississippi Gulf Coast Music Games, Inc . organization to the point that we can provide scholarships to area youth.
