Sometimes you have to speak softly and carry a big stick. Or you can scream and start poking with said stick. Either way, I think I've made my point clear. I'm not all for the lovey-dovey "let's hold hands" stuff, but this is a place to talk about drum corps. The valus, the traditions, the past, present, and future. It's a shame to forget what drum corps is about because we have our heads so far up our you-know-whats fighting about who knows more. This isn't a pissing contest, it's drum corps.

My point exactly, just more elegantly put. This is a democracy last time I checked.

Stu, you are one of my favorite "Dinos". I agree with everything in that post, including the soundboard issue. And it has nothing to do with the technology, just the influence of score.

In 2010, I had the honor of sharing the field with Les Stentors in Wisconsin. What a classy group of kids. Best of luck next season!

I think it is ludicrous to assume drum corps is dead. Even before the birth of DCI, drum corps have been changing. That does not mean it is dead.

Yes I do, in fact '78 Vanguard is one of my favorites. And yes I do respect the traditions and history of what came before.

This thread is now turning too silly, can we get on topic now?

) I'm sure I will find something to gripe about, but (not to sound like a narcissist) I know for a fact that I will more subjective than a lot of people on here. I guess it comes with the territory of being a Sociologist/Psychologist, but that is how I always view things, from both sides of the spectrum.

I'm all about the witty stuff here, so it doesn't have to be all serious so long as my point is actually made. :)

I'd have to disagree to you saying that it's pulled as a rebuttal by the young crowd, because since I've been observing (2005 that I started, 2007 when I decided to open an account) the forum, both sides pull the card about even.

Thank you, and great choice in music, lol.

i think you should read the new topic I just posted. I have done a lot of studying and reading on the history of drum corps. I understand the traditions and values of drum corps. And yes, there should be an American flag with each corps. Does the height of the flag matter? No. Should the Canadian flag (or whatever country the corps is from) be feature more prominently? I think so. It's their country, so why not. I am may be twenty-one, but as I stated, I know a lot about drum corps, and I respect it. However, since we are in a new age, we have to accept the new additions to tradition. It's code, not law, therefore there shouldn't be a big hullaballoo about it.

Three words- Tradition, tradition, tradition.
