The Top 7 differences between DCI and DCA
Disclaimer: Humor based on stereotypes et al

1. DCI has strict Victorian rules prohibiting the use of alcohol during corps functions (that secretly do not apply to free days, laundry stops, long bus trips and the drum line apartment).

1A. The members of DCA corps are directly responsible for the recent rise in the stock price of at least four major U.S. brewing companies.

*******

2. Watching the typical DCI field show is akin to sitting in the Louvre, and staring at the watercolor works of Monet for 48 straight hours without a pee break.

2A. Watching the typical DCA field show is akin to sitting in the front row of a Metallica concert, right between the guy who hasn't stopped screaming since the opening band, and the girl who lost her shirt.

*******

3. DCI fans typically spend the day after Finals in thoughtful reflection, contemplating the cosmic meaning of field shows that explored the reality of a football field having four corners.

3A. DCA fans typically spend the day after Finals leaping around their house playing air guitar, singing "One More Time Chuck Corea," and counting the hours till the next season starts.

*******

4. New DCI corps face many, many every-changing bureaucratic obstacles to actually perform at DCI shows.

4A. New DCA corps face many, many every-changing bureaucratic obstacles to purchase golf carts that can exceed 55 mph.

*******

5. The typical DCI staff member is an artist who has dedicated their life towards getting kids to perform their art on a football field, in the hopes that one day their art will be recognized as the work of a true genius.

5A. The typical DCA staff member has a life.

*******

6. DCA rewards field shows in which corps play exciting music that the ticket buying fans love, through the awarding of Championship trophies and LOUD raucous standing ovations that last minutes on end from the fans.

6A. DCI rewards field shows in which corps play exciting music that the ticket buying fans love, through the awarding of 11th place ... and ignoring LOUD raucous standing ovations that last minutes on end.
