Interesting discussion.
Those of you who think trombones are not suitable enough in one way of another should explore the marching bands in Texas. There is nothing more powerful than a wall of raging trombones. If you play wimpy you get wimpy.
If you are a strong player, you make strong and projecting brass sounds.
DCI has innovated for years, I think it's wonderful to see them bring concert instruments on the field. Variety is a good thing. That being said, I wouldn't suggest they stop using Baritones, just continue opening up the diversity of instruments used in the shows and continue being creative.
One dislike though.
Too much dialogue being used in Drum Corps shows these days...Stop the dialogue.
