  1. Corps won't perform because their electronics might get wet. As if we didn't have enough reasons to hate electronics in drum corps.
  2. Multi-cam view just crapped out for me. It won't play past a certain point. Anyone else have that problem?
  3. Queer City Cadets (submitted separately in case it gets bounced.)
  4. Muchachas Argonuts Squares Crass, Inc. Dependers (senior corps for Defenders)
  5. The supposed advantage of releasing the pre-2009 shows on Blu-rays was for the video resolution that was superior to DVD. DCI may feel that there is no technical benefit for the consumer to redundantly release shows already available in Blu-ray.
  6. Judges don't care, MM don't care, staff don't care, audience don't care...who does care enough to make it sound better in all venues? A lot of local shows at high schools have stands that just don't go high enough for proper perspective of drill, pit balance or sound gear.
  7. That's why I had a problem from the start of the amplification nonsense, with some dude way off the field making decisions about half the sound coming off the field. It's no longer "for the kids," it's mostly about marketing for sound equipment retailers.
  8. I would agree except for the point I made earlier that corps practice all summer with the sound gear rigged for Lucas Oil and they don't care how bad it sounds in other venues.
  9. Considering how much editing occurs on recordings now, the main end goal seems to be the marketing of the videos. There are probably few seats in Lucas Oil Stadium that sound as good as the recordings - too low and you get blasted by the sound system, too high and you can barely hear above the blowers of air handling system. I found the best compromise to be at the front of the upper deck, where the plexiglass blocks the overpowering pit and I could actually hear some brass and drums. I just wish I didn't have to resort to Stupid Human Tricks to get to what remains of what I enjoy about drum corps, and just watching livecasts and videos is an easier path.
  10. Ironic, since you're getting clubbed over the head with thousands of watts of amplification with that delicate solo. You're not hearing the delicate tones of a musical instrument, you're hearing speaker cones flapping.
