I don't know if it will be the incident that keeps corps away from using vocals. Some used vocals this year and the quality was consistent and pleasing for the most part. I realize a lot of that depends on your take and taste for vocals in drum corps. Boston had a wonderful singer, and the Cadets choral octet was amazing. I think for Cadets having them up front and in the pit helped because they could use wired mics (not wireless). There were a few instances of them using wireless, but mostly they used wired. Wired mics simply work better because you are not transmitting the audio over the airwaves, but instead through analog cable straight to a mixer or to a pre-amp and then a mixer. Wired mics are typically larger, better constructed, and some are powered by the mixer itself and not via battery. Wireless mics have to be powered via batteries, and sometimes that can be a problem. I don't know what happened to that mic for Crown, but those kids put on a clinic in performance this year. They were clearly one of the top 3 corps in the field, even with the mic malfunction. If they do ever use voice again I can imagine their staff will look into every possible option to get it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you didn't say it. That's why I put the "baseless speculation" tag there. But you're right. Hmm...I may start a baseless speculation thread just to see what stuff people come up with.

Hmm...I may start a baseless speculation thread just to see what stuff people come up with. Just to be clear i was responding a comment about "unnecessary runs in the brass book" and I said "you might get your wish" And then you supposed that the drill writer may be leaving for Cadets I wasn't speculating anything other than they might have less runs in the brass next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. I just used your comment as a launching point for other things entirely. Which I'm now going back and clarifying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cube Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hopefully all the staff stays intact with a better, more straightforward design next year that incorporates less electronic reliance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
