I marched in the "old School' Era but I didn't have any problems growing with drum corps; there are things I didn't like or may have not liked the way they were used.
I think it is good we have favorites - it keeps us connected. The truth is, we complain about certain corps' shows, but given the opportunity, we would jump at the chance to go see these corps we critique so closely.
I saw CC twice. The first time I just didn't like them. I had a much greater appreciation for them the second time - they are not who I am rooting for, but I would definitely go see them anytime - and give them a great applause for their wonderful talent.
Just thought I'd throw in my opinion.
