Looks like the “next year…oh wait” joke is already stale lol. All-age I&E and mini-corps will happen again next year during the DCI season.

[@RedDogMamaHD]

Well, that means for sure you will be in Indianapolis!!!

[@Encyclopedist]

@@RedDogMamaHD Maybe, maybe not? What DCA's president said Sunday night before the awards was that DCI and DCA were hoping to have a competition in Rochester next year that apparently would be synced up with an alumni corps event, mini corps competition, and I&E competition. In other words, all the other stuff that has happened on DCA championship weekend for at least the past couple decades. I think this is because the schedule in Indianapolis is already pretty packed. It's not clear that DCA will be able to have both a Prelims and a Finals. Being indoors, they at least don't have weather concerns. And there are few enough DCA corps at this time that they don't need two days. (The regular number of corps who advanced to DCA Finals since the early 2000s was 14 (10 in the upper class and 4 in the lower class), but last year and this year there were only 12 corps total, so they all advanced.) However: (1) DCA and DCI surely hope to grow the number of all-age corps back to something larger, and (2) DCA corps often show notable improvement between Prelims and Finals. I noticed that in 2019 even when both events were held the same day because a post-tropical storm was expected to arrive on Sunday.

[@MortonLuvz2drum]

I could show you a multiple bass drum set up that makes more sense. I know, it's a very "Mr. Knowitall" kind of statement, but it's true.

[@happybone1978]

Will the All Age I&E compete head to head with DCI Performers? That would be epic.

Shoutouts to Kyle Manley from CV for his gold in solo snare. Great guy and he was voted our Member of the Year at our awards banquet.

[@norb-of-the-dorg]

We love Kyle

[@alsdrumhang]

Which was harder, actually pulling off that blazing tenor solo or being stared at by the guy in the red jacket?

[@alsdrumhang]

Also, when the guy said "click the like button" I obeyed like a good minion.

[@yoshisaur90]

@@alsdrumhangI would have cracked up laughing if someone said my line like that

[@stephenweber6954]

Amazing work Eric!!! Congratulations. It it’s duck a shame to see DCA and the I & E go away! I can only pray the DCI absorbing DCA strengthens the activity. But honestly, it just took away my desire to join an all ages Corps. I know that a trip to Indiana is out of the question for me. That’s a lot of time off of work.

[@TheAmazingRaptor]

last night they said dca will still exist with its own rules under an “all age class” and I’m also pretty sure they said I&e was not going away

[@xtekven0m155]

they said that I&E are still going to be a thing when DCA goes under DCI All Age

[@gsensel]

They have a hole since the killed I&E for those under 21 and marching a corps. So this could be their way to bring back I&E.

[@zaccsonofjohn1132]

It might open up dca to be in other parts of the country though

[@dcacorpsofficial]

​@@zaccsonofjohn1132DCA has always been open to other parts of the country. There have been corps all around the USA in CA, WA, TX, CO, OK, and beyond including corps from Japan, Germany, and the UK.

[@ThatQuadDrummer]

Shout out to this guy 15:18. Also Eric, what type of puffied do you use for your tenor drums and where can I buy my own pair? Also, amazing recovery after dropping your stick in your snare solo! I love you abd your channel❤

[@davel7507]

How do you transport all that equipment. Truck? Van? To be able to memorize all those routines is amazing.

[@soggybread5406]

tbh the memorization part prob is the easiest part

[@EMCproductions]

Transported by SUV. These are about 60% memorized and 40% improvized

[@RedDogMamaHD]

@@EMCproductions "Thanks, Dad!!!!"

[@emmastewart9764]

Lets go Wiggles!!! Ben and Eric's duet was so cool to see in person! Proud to say I march with Ben and call him my friend! 💙⚔️

[@oscargill423]

It's interesting, Eric's splits are even more impressive when he does them live. Guess it eliminates the excitement dulling that comes with the possibility of editing.

[@Miyamotospoop13]

This was awesome, I love how you take silly concepts and refine them to such a point where they’re actually impressive and exciting!

[@nathanieloxford6288]

The way they paused before saying "...snenors" - I still love of the sound of these. But... I laughed my ass off the whole way through the bass stack performance. That just looks so ridiculous! 😂

[@seanmcready6895]

Putting the black heads on the spockenspiel is brilliant

[@StrengthandSanity]

"I'll get you Gadget!" I hope the audience appreciated playing melodies from 80's TV shows as much as I did! Good stuff

[@Infernoblade1010]

Your talent and skill are insane! Im sure most musicians would practice for years and years for just one single performance and you did all these??? LEGENDARY!!!!

[@Plantbosses]

the jig 2 on the 4 bass drums had me dead

[@JerridFoiles]

That's why we heard sirens.

[@happybone1978]

Way to go, brah.....seriously though....I like yourself have been in band/corps perf. arts my entire life and I was seriously blown away by your creativity both musically and artistically. Very approachable to even those who may not be around the arts all the time, as well. You didn't just go out there and shove as many notes into the alloted time as possible. I too thought that you knocked it silly on the quads. Lets GOOOOOO

[@MoSkent1]

What to add after this astonishing demonstration ?!? Here you develop all the possible and imaginable vocabulary of SD with a mastery, a technique, a velocity and a musicality rarely equaled. Not forgetting an elephant's memory ! Thank you for this incredible video that I could watch over and over again without getting tired of it. (Friendships of a 65-year-old Parisian who, despite years of practice in TG, notes with spite the chasm that still separates him from your level.... 😥)

[@EaThePorg]

I never realized there was so many things that could be done with snenors, I’ll try convincing my band director to add snenors to the drum line next year

[@HE360]

Of course, I don't think anybody is going to win if Eric is in the competition lol. He's WAYYY too great!

[@b1pig]

@7:14 I was immediately reminded of my Junior year in high school. All of our music was for a 3 bass drum line. We could never get a third drummer. I found some spare snare drum carrier adapters in our drum room and with a little creativity and use of my dad's tools, I made mounts to fit the smaller drum on top of mine, the larger one. It ended up with near perfect balance. I think we were halfway through the football season... our first home game we marched out to the stands with that bass drum standing tall above everyone else. When we played our halftime show, the crown was the loudest when we began rocking our drums. As a kid figuring stuff out for myself, it's one of my happier successes.

[@jackthecommenter2768]

I was the dude who said “wowwww” in the video because those singlets were CRAZY and god damn ur truly amazing EMC! Much love!

[@lifeofatool]

I’m glad you uploaded your solos, since i had to miss one of them because of my own I&E performance. Great job on all of your solos!

[@dylanjc]

Thanks to DCA for allowing Eric to be a goofball. I doubt DCI will.

[@hlcx2330]

Closing in on 300K!!! Been watching you for years and you definitely deserve a million already. Good job winning 5 medals, that duet was killer!

[@Benjamin_Bischoff]

He’s now at 300k 😃

[@Stretchwiz]

I loved the spockenspiel, and the sneror solo was super cool

[@JMRSplatt]

Such cool stuff, and somehow my favorite thing was during the duet, the assisted/2 person roll when you leaned over on the snare. Not easy to pull off and very neat! Edit - The 4 + 1 snare tenors were amazing. Edit 2 - Your pure snare solo was really great as well, and the ending was tremendously terrific with the single stroke drum set sticks... but it just felt a little lacking to end like that. I'm sure you already felt this and is about the only criticism I could find their entirety of your solos. I love your relaxed feel, the content and vocabulary was mixed very well, and a special flavor of uniqueness is refreshing to see.

[@C5drummer]

Extremely challenging and entertaining as always! Your chops are absolutely fan-dan-tastic, so keep up the amazing work you do! Can't wait to see what you come up with for next year!!

[@drumcorpslot]

Bring the typewriter next year! And some sort of translator for it 😂

DCA is merging with DCI and becoming DCI all age class next season, so this year was the last DCA finals ever.

You are a master at what you do. I've played drumlines, but mostly HBCU style, except for a few competition exceptions. I'm a pro sax player. I didn't know what was celebrated at these types of things. And may I say I've never seen so many people excited by so much LACK OF GROOVE, and musicality. PURE TECHNICIAN stuff is getting them so pumped! amazing to watch!
