InspaDave Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 It is always a fun effect when you put more drums on the field than most people are used to seeing/hearing. Madison '96 (8 tenors) Crossmen '95 (10 bass drums in feature at the end) Madison '98 (All snares and tenors started on snare, if I remember correctly) Just to name a few. Spirit 89' (9 Basses) Quote
KeithHall Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I forgot about Offensive Lions 11 BD's I marched in two 6 man lines (87 & 88) and we had 6 in 1982 and 1986 as well. I also marched in a 6 man line in Bushwackers 1995. Not really that big a deal, although I did prefer playing in a 5 man line. Now when the Offensive lions marched an 11 man bass line - that's something to get excited about. You can never have too many basses in a drum corps. Quote

Boston '03, entire line started the show on snare. Quote

MarchandPlay Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I really don't see what the big deal is... I just want to see a good product and I'll be happy! 1 Quote
SFZFAN Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Will you snare drummers stop cluttering this thread. I know you all have heard this before, but it's not all about you! I guess you didn't get the memo? It is actually all about us! Boo said so! Edited May 3, 2012 by SFZFAN 1 Quote
5thbassman Posted May 3, 2012 Author Posted May 3, 2012 I'd like to say I started this just to see what people thought. I don't think it's a big deal at all. But there are some people out there who are dead set on 5. And while it's not a new concept, it has been a while since we've had 6 basses of the same color on the field. Almost as if we're looking back on this 40th anniversary of DCI. Quote
Michael Boo Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Will you snare drummers stop cluttering this thread. I know you all have heard this before, but it's not all about you! I thought we all agreed never to tell them that. Keep moving on, snare drummers. The big, bad non-snare drummer was just being silly. 1 Quote
