  3. i started in drum corps, then wen t to dance and theater, and then came back. while it has certainly evolved in many ways, what still holds it back is its devotional to military style comportment and movement. even the most moving corps are still largely tied to stiff upright angular marching posture. its too rigid a box to grow theatrically. this brings us to the second part that insures the first part will not change: everyone learns to right and teach and design to the scoring boxes. there is little incentive to explore real movement like dance or theater movement if they is little appreciation and credit for it. corps are doing the best they can within a military box. for the shows to grow in impact, it will not come from more sound or better flags or more complexity, it will be how to take large groups of talented musicians and actors and dancers and really entertain. large audiences around the globe pay top dollar to be move in theater and movies. they have been educated by so you think you can dance and all the vocal talent competitions to understand the genres and expect a higher level of performance quality and sophistication. this extends to uniforms. they are designed to be judged well, accentuate uniformity, hide movement weaknesses. most of the field is uniformed, not costumed (with some exceptions) heck, most of the unifroms come from teh same couple maufacturers and design teams. is the activity si to grow and find greater audience, it ha to shed some of its traditions and become more entertaining to an audience expecting mroe flexibility and emotional buy in

  6. i'm the movement instructor for vk for the past 3 seasons. i want a dance diva male or female who may have aged out of corps or indoor guard and understands the time demands of drum corps. you should: 1) have solid technique and possibly teaching experience 2) be able to run the entire corps through my basic 40-minute movement program (music provided) for each day of camp and/or practice days and make technique corrections on the members 3) learn all movement (choreography, arm-ography, etc) for all sections and be able to tech them 4) if you choreograph, we might be able to create work together there is a small stipend. we currently practice in hacienda heights one weekend per month. that intensifies toward competitive season which begins june 20 this year. to date vk is planning on at least one small tour and championships in indiana. the season ends aug 11.
  7. as a movement teacher, 30 minutes is a tooth pull because it is too fast to hit all the body parts and technique required to executive well and without injury all the demands placed on guards these days. you have an obligation with these kids to give them the foundation to pull off what you expect of them in terms of show performance and repetition.

  9. vk was clearly not helped by this open class shift. in div III they would have been a finalist
  10. where can we get info about the shuttle service for rose bowl. during regular rose bowl events there are parking lots and shuttles. is it going to be the same for the shows? i can't find anything about that on dci site or rose bowl site.
