2nd Wind Drumline "HEAVYWEIGHT DRUMMING, lightweight drums" Like us. ^_^

Either of these models, though they must be identical [not one of each style]. Color, if not still white, or with flaked paint, isn't important. And yes, there's definitely Method To My [seeming] Madness at asking for such things in this 21st Century.

16 steps total - 8 before and 8 after the center line - or 16 each before & after? The "8 & 8" seems most likely. Thanks, regardless.

Oh, I completely agree! The operating and membership costs of contemporary-format corps are now nothing less than astronomical. Consequently, the number of corps - regardless of sponsorship - has dropped at least by an order of magnitude. Those costs have unarguably prevented the formerly zillions of kids who could afford, participate, and enjoy the experience in *any* level of corps from doing so. It's the sad fallout of what seems to be Creativity and perfection at [now] all costs. I marched in three junior and one senior corps: not a one of whom won any contests whatsoever [well, the sr corps earned one title, though essentially by default]... yet I LOVED drum corps! But could any of those corps exist today with the current costs involved? No, not for one minute.

One of the few required moves for all guards was "Pass In Review": a full-guard company front, starting X-number of steps before the basketball court's center line and ending with the same number of steps past that line. Was there a proscribed *number* of total steps for that company front, or did it depend on step size, or what? Bear in mind that I saw guard competitions only from the late 1960s to the mid 1970s, and only in WA, IL and WI: nothing further east. Too, none of those guards used any props, "floors", or choreography whatsoever. It was strictly marching & single-equipment work. Still, I'm interested just in the number of steps for the Pass In Review. Or did they vary with area of the country?
