I prefer to be entertained when I pay good money and plan time off of work to see a show of any kind world class or open or even DCA. I don't need to be educated or feel "a deeper meaning" to any corps show. There have been some real out-there shows in past years that really had no business trying to call themselves entertainment. I admire the players and staff and respect all the volunteers behind the scenes but give the kids something they can enjoy performing and actually feel real genuine crowd response to greatness and entertainment.
While I'm on the rant....PROPS... really, do we need 35 giant doors or 28 rubberband walls or 30 "trees" if thats what you want to call them. Really? Is that what the judges are DEMANDING!? If that is what it takes to make a drum corps "cohesive" I may be on my way out the door.
