Respectfully, I would like to know where you would draw the line at innovation in drum corps. Are there lines that you wouldn't cross?

Yeah, original poster. Go do one of these other things. Just don't dare express an opinion on the direction of an activity that you love.

Well said!

From the unfortunate, unenlightened masses, I offer thanks to you for trying to help us.

Hear, hear!

Madison, definitely, and not just because of their hike in the rankings, but also because of their reverting to a more enjoyable type of show. With any luck, they will have started a move to the type of performance that is fan-friendly, and at the same time makes use of the current great drill and guard work, and the high level of musical execution that has become the standard in drum corps.

Agreed. The addition of electronics of any sort was a fundamental change to the activity. Innovation is fine, so long as it doesn't alter the foundation.

I'm glad to see the Scouts at the top of so many of the lists. I hope their old school efforts will inspire others. Please bring back entertainment to drum corps.
