and sorry

Dude who are you??

well dude i didnt mean that. And was by no means trying to offend corps from the past. Settle down dude.....?

oh and dude i don't assume that you know anything so don't assume I don't know anything about drum corps. I don't insult you so please don't insult me.

hew this is for you and everyone else who has no sense of humor. I WAS JOKING. I only meant more corps is not the solution. And yes i wish every corps that has ever been around would still be around. Their is nothing worst then a corps folding or going inactive.

No i am not. I was just commenting on the fact that they are playing 4 or is it 5 movements. Most shows that are progressive play a more through composed show. But don't get me wrong i love the show. I think the Cadets finally have a great take on west side story. But thanks for trying to insult me dude.

1. Devils 2. Crown 3. Cadets 4. Vanguard 5. Cavies 6. Bluecoats 7. Blue Stars 8. Phantom 9. Crusaders 10. Blue Knights 11. Glassmen 12. Spirit Just what I think i am probably wrong

I agree and i felt he was out of line.

Dude I agree with you totally. I was just saying that lots of corps does not always give great educational and performance options. I do agree that there have been several great corps at the D2, D3, and now open class levels.

Wow I must say you are right. I do tend to rush when I speak my mind. I clearly no nothing compared to you. But Let me give it a try. 1. Obviously there have never been tens of thousands of drum corps. And if you had a sense of humor you would know that. 2. You are right a dummy can fall down to prove there is gravity. When that same dummy tries to tell me (and everyone) that gravity is bad because it made him fall down, then i comment on it. And by the way that was my usage of your analogy. Hope you laughed. 3. Once again you are right. Contras or Tubas (as we now refer to them) can sound like a string bass, however a mellophone cannot produce the sound of a person biting into an apple (Crusaders effect this year). If you want to learn more please visit any site that helps old people like yourself cope with change in the world around you without crying about it on a forum. Thank you for notifying me that my grammar was a little sub par. I must admit I am a little ashamed. Now to sum all this up I have only posted on this forum to state my views not to be pushed around by you. In the future please have a sense of humor and know that even though you are obviously very close minded, there are people on here that know just as much or MORE than you.

i know i was in one. well we were small but i don't remember how many. Oh and dude don't take thing so literal. it was just a joke.

Ok I kind of agree. I love the usage of the piano in drum corps. Blue devils are using a piano patch and it completely changes the feel. So that is a case of a fake sound representing an acoustic instrument that cannot be used on the field. And I hate the fake sounds. Much as you do. But some corps are using effects. They would not be able to do this without "live" recorded sounds that are simply reproduced by a machine.

Well let me name off all the corps who aren't using electric anything and yet they still have musical balance problems. To me, their is an art to finding musical balance with of without synths. I personally like the new colors that i have heard this year. I could not have heard these things without the use of electronics.

oh and by the way just because people are pro anything does not mean you should judge their intelligence. just because your views are different does not always you are right or wrong.

dude you are right we should have 1,000000000000000000 corps out there. That was we can watch corps with 50 members in them. Yeah that would be fun.
