I saw a picture in the DII/III forum, and it reminded me of something that's always bothered me:
Why are we still performing on bright white yardlines and green "floors"??
Would it be possible to create a floor that would let grasses breathe and wouldn't cause injuries, yet still be affordable?
Imagine WGI without floors....
Now imagine the corps in DCI performing their shows on custom "outdoor" floors. Forget electronics and woodwinds. The next big innovation needs to be the stage on which we perform.
I've seen BOA bands roll out floors before, and I'm sure drum corps could figure out the logistics of it all.
Argghhhh, at the very least we could soften the yardlines to make them less visible, yet still functionable (see below).
