Timing, meter issues, etc in other Corps sections can be thrown completely out of wack. This is why we almost always hear the DCI brass solos in all these Corps ( including BD ) being remarkably similar from show performance to show performance, than dissimilar. BUT maybe a couple of DCP'ers here are hearing things, most others arn't too.... who knows.... haha!

Classic!!!!!! Only you could characterize "we do not know. We cannot know" as "know-it-all". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) You created a paradox with connecting “We cannot know” and, "Ignore the know-it-alls"; the claim we cannot know about if or if not improv is allowed in DCI actually does make you a know-it-all on that particular subject, which in turn we are to ignore by your own directive. It is like when a person claims that there is no absolute truth; that claim in turn actually creates an absolute truth. B) But more to the point, after you created that paradox you went on to make another definitive statement like, “In the rest of history, the best anyone will have is…”. Well that also claims you are a know-it-all concerning the rest of history; thus it should be placed in the exact same know-it-all category as the ones others post in which you want people to ignore.

For cripes sakes! Is there never a time you don't feel compelled to correct someone about anything? We can rest assured that whenever there may be a time when nothing needs to be said, there you are. Kind of ironic in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an ensemble gets thrown off by an errant soloist, they are not that good of an ensemble in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
