So is there anyone here who has marched by any chance? I myself marched Colts last year.

I played trombone in my high school marching band, but we were WSMBC and SCSBOA, so not really on a level with DCI.

Yah! I tried out for the Concord Blue Devils, got my ass handed to me, ended up marching a year later with Vanguard. I barely got in since the age limit was 23 at the time - they may have raised it now. I played quins and have never worked so hard in my entire life. It's like Marine boot camp for musicians.
I'm almost inclined to predict DCI becoming a thing of the past, given the popularity of recent shows like Blast! and Stomp, where former corps are going to the stage with all the advantages of lights and props, without the stupid age limit or blood-letting competition.
