I enjoy watching most corps post Y2K; but for the most part I just can't stand to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs33 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Well for this one, you should certainly be standing. Arguably the best BD horn line ever. Time to give it up my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsnare93 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) The only thing approaching esoteric-ism in drum corps is judging, maybe, and some corps traditions. Not understanding a show theme or not being familiar with the material being presented doesn't make something esoteric.

It is not flawed math to state that overall numbers in attendance for drum corps events are down when compared to the number of corps and number of shows there were back in the day. there's only one problem....there's nothing on paper that shows you to be right or me right. it's just conjecture.it's guessing, and rose colored glasses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concede that the basis of my conclusion is a conjecture; and you have deemed that as being flawed math. However, in mathematics there actually are many different conjectures which are considered by mathematicians to be true; such as parallel lines and the sum of angles in a triangle. So, it is not a reach on my part to formulate this particular conjecture because it does stand to reason that since there were way more corps in existence then as opposed to now, more kids and families were involved, and more shows were produced each year throughout the country, then there were likely also more overall fans attending the aggregate drum corps shows than today.

If I was talking about you, I would've mentioned your name as I have been doing in other posts. Sorry; my mistake. I thought you were responding to the same post of mine in which Jeff was responding.
