What kind of culture is this promoting in drum corps where we have minors participating in the activity? "Oh Chris! You are being too much of a square teetotaler...get with the times man!!!" People may call me unhip and too old-fashioned, but I'm making a counter-cultural argument against these disconcerting show theme trends towards darkness, obscurity, and now seduction.
