Not gonna convince me with that one. Drum Corps is no longer the activity that it once was. Visual is now considered equal with the music and frankly, that is how I think it should be. As for the audience connection idea, I say no way. I like being entertained by shows, but understand that the show I want to win often won't. That's part of the activity. Enjoy the shows you wish to enjoy. But don't expect to always enjoy the shows that win. Just not gonna happen.
