MisterA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I am definitely not excited about this move. I really hope most corps don't choose to use them. But it will probably end up like amps, vocalization, and electronics, where everyone feels the need to use them to keep up with the other corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilSCV Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) The membership was very supportive, citing the potential growth in interest by students in drum corps as a major driver.

Lincoln Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Another nail in the Drum & Bugle Corps coffin. DCP board has an option to "like this." I wish it said "agreed with this" because I actually don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I am going to put myself in the disappointed camp. Musically it's unnecessary. Visually it will be a miss. My guess is we won't see to many this coming year. Horns have been ordered, rosters all but selected, and shows have been arranged and designed. Next year get ready for "76 Trombones" literally. I don't buy the more active participation to a larger pool argument either. Audition camps provide more than enough talent to fill spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavie95 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Once again, Hopkins and his progressive changes through the years have led to this becoming a reality. Say goodbye to corps folks! If my corps uses trombones or french horns ever I will cry. I am ashamed at the board of directors and leadership in DCI to let this happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
