    1. Drum corps traditions come and go, are born and die. Just like everything else in life. This doesn't mean that any new fandangle should be considered a failure. Even in an opinion, it's still negative.

    2. Many of you that support the activity can agree all you want, but the fact of the matter is you aren't on the field anymore (if you have ever been), and the kids who are marching today have no problem with not wearing something on their head that neither adds nor detracts from the product they are putting on the field. Again, your opinion that it is a failure.

    3. I didn't resort to insults. I put quotations around certain words to ensure that it would be obvious that I wasn't using those words as insult, but rather quotations from other members of this forum. Others used it before me without the quotations, again indicating that I wasn't use them in a derogatory manner, so why not go after them? 

    4. Nobody is saying that you aren't entitled to your opinion, but when you bring negativity to the forum maybe you should take a step back and re-evaluate your approach.

    Not a "youngin", just refuse to become a stick in the mud.

    Since you responded directly, I will respond in kind and leave it at that. 1. Ask a drum corps organization or typical fan if traditions are important, you really think they'll say no?  Something in quotes doesn't cleans it from being an insult. #4: I don't see what is negative about preferring corps members wear hats, etc. during performances. 

    Have a nice day.

    But does an opinion or preference mean that the topic at hand is a failure across the board for everyone? 

    I think they meant that it's the usual "Back in my day" type of thread/post that we've come to expect from the "dinosaurs" of the forum. As in "DCI was only good when they did the things that I like", which again is an opinion or preference, and doesn't equate to failure across the board.

    hmmm, a few points (that are my opinion and do not necessarily represent the views of every member of the forum:

    • I did say "just my two cents" which implies it is my opinion
    • Of course I only like what I like - Are there many that like what they don't like?
    • Yes, hats/no hats is definitely subjective, others may/do feel otherwise
    • 99% of the posts on this site are opinion (no, this isn't documented), and it would have very few posts it it were strictly objective
    • Drum corps traditions/history plays a big part of its popularity today and its future
    • Many of us that have supported the activity for many years agree with the performance and business evolution
    • An argument is weakened when you have to resort to insults

  3. I need as many as many as 10. Looking for Section 140, near the top of the section and as close to the 50 as possible, but will consider other sections/tickets if they provide good sound/visual.  Ideally the tickets would be together, but realize I will need to have them split up.  

     

    Thanks

  4. For years I attended prelims by myself so getting a last minute ticket was easy and relatively inexpensive. Next year several members of my family have asked about going to Indy for prelims. I’ll be looking for 10-12 good seats. Ideally they would be together. I don’t need tix to the entire weekend, so I’m looking to this community to provide some ideas and suggestions. 
     

    Thanks in advance. 

  5. With the popularity of Blue's Beatle's show, I wondered which other group or performer had a catalog with enough depth, challenging music and emotion to justify a complete drum corps show.  Admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of her music, but a show from the music of Barbara Streisand came to mind.  With a musical career of more than 60 years, she has a wealth of music from which to choose. What would your best "Babs" show repertoire be?
