Well that's a rather insulting and inaccurate strawman you built but it displays the typical hubris that I'm now getting accustomed to from today's members. Also, instead of villainizing CMMs, maybe you should realize a lot of them are deeply offended by what people like you say. Infact, some of them may even be people than thou... I also find it hysterical how you accuse CMMs of hubris, mean while you waltz around with your cross on your back, with your "I'M NOT IRRELEVANT" signature. Hubris indeed.

I really fear for the education of people on this board who actually think Mist was being honest and sincere. I mean...it's pretty obvious he wasn't. "I WANT drum corps to return to playing loud, all the time. Dynamics are boring, I don't go to drum corps shows to feel like I'm at the opera trying to take a nap. I want loud, in my face, pulse-pounding drum corps at all times. I WANT drum corps to return to playing music which I recognize, which I already know, which I can walk out of the stadium whistling. Now you may ask yourself "But mistofflies, how can you already recognize the music unless you've heard it before, and for that matter, you always have to hear something for the first time!" Ignore the obvious paradox, what I'm trying to say is this: drum corps is NOT the place to introduce new music. I want every show to be arranged from music by Michael Jackson and Maynard Ferguson, with Malagnuena or "When a Man Loves a Woman" as the closer. I will not accept anything less....except Phantom, I guess they can play classical stuff as long as they're just LOUD ALL THE TIME." If you believe wholeheartedly in that statement, I weep for humanity. Maybe I should even die for your sins.

It doesn't even have to do with the key of horn, it's the quality and WHAT the person is playing on it. I can switch between my Bb and C very easily, know the tendencies on each etc etc. But listen, I'm not running around a FOOTBALL FIELD for 3 months playing FFFF on the C trumpet. Since you never marched junior corps (I swear I'm not trying to be condescending, I'm just trying to be as frank as possible) you don't know how much for a college player who's practicing proper brass techniques for upwards to 4 hours a day that drum corps is a complete shock to the system, literally. I had to do so much maintenance with my playing when I got back 06 and 07, the last thing my playing (and professor :sshh: ) would have needed was for me to be playing on a crap bugle which doesn't even sound like a trumpet or even a brass instrument really for 3 months straight. Besides, I've been told nothing but bad things about people who marched G bugles in my corps before they got Bbs, some of them are multiple I&E champions and #### good players (not in the drum corps context, I mean they're legit good players!) so I trust their opinion.

What? This is a legitimate DCP discussion?

LOL Cats are banned from this thread

What do you think? I personally don't think the judges know what they're talking about, they deserved those extra points.

This question has been plaguing me for years and I just really need to find out. Please answer my pleas, DCP.

Disgusted? Get over yourself

Can we get back on topic please G bugles are louder than Bb because G bugles have a leadpipe made with 0.025 nickel, which is obviously superior to the 0.125 copper magnesium of the Bb horns.

Possibly

AMIRITE

Yes G bugle tone quality and timbre = gross

If it doesn't sound like Birdland, it's probably not music. Oh wait, I'm sorry, that was written for synthesizers and woodwinds, I apologize for my misconduct. But on a serious note, I think Mist makes an excellent point

Bravo Mr. Xin Chou

Wayne Dillon is the man

1984

He left on his own accord

I just vomited on my laptop

Yeah, I posted about them..

Star of Indiana was also a freak of nature

My parents and everyone I know call drum corps "bands" all the time, they don't know and they don't care, nor should I expect them to. Get over it, people think we're in super traveling circus bands, that's just life. By the way, MikeD has been involved with drum corps longer than any of us... By the way, I really only posted so I could make use of my box head man. Have a goodnight.

To be honest that was just a cheap shot at drumcorpsfan and atlvalet, you just got hit with some debris
