An intense frustration.

There’s an awful lot of carping here about money. Specifically, i was stuck by the poster who complained about BD having so much and then, in the same post, says he doesn’t donate to ANY corps, because he doesn’t approve of money in drum corps! How does that help with parity? i am SURE that the BDPA worked hard to bring in and to keep their big donors. And to run the organization efficiently. Money doesn’t just fall out of the sky for anyone. And winning begets donations, just as it begets attracting talent, in MM and staff. What are they supposed to do with those donations? Refuse it? They support 4 corps, and the wind ensemble. And prob groups I don’t even know about it’s not like it all goes to the A corps I don’t know what the answer is, but I don’t see how you penalize an organization for being too successful! -

I didn’t say the prop was funny. I didn’t say the fabric was funny. I didn’t say the crowd didn’t like it. I didn’t say any of that. What i said was the comment was funny. And i thought it was. -

Oh, come on. If the Devils had designed that prop and popped up through the holes, you would have laughed at “whack a devil”! And i would have, too. Sometimes the truth hurts. Sometimes it’s hard. But sometimes the truth is funny! -

I don’t consider anyone who favors another corps to be a hater. Not liking BD doesn’t make someone a hater. Grumbling about slotting, or park and bark, or any of the DCI conspiracy theories isn’t being a hater. A negative commentary or critique doesn’t make someone a hater. We conflate a difference of opinion with hating, when it simply isn’t. Hating is in the delivery. A lack of respect, mean, derogatory remarks. Hard to define, but most people know it when they see it. And best of luck to BAC tonight. Of course I want BD to win. But If BD gets beat, i hope it’s by BAC. They will have earned it, and there would be no shame losing to a better performance. -

I think the tone and quality on the Conn Selner horns has helped BD get back to their classic sound.
