Venues that cannot provide appropriate warm up areas should not be hosting shows. Simple as that. I remember warming up in places like this and I didnt think it was appropriate back then.

People don't like being censored. I'm sure you can understand that.

What? Those drummers were literally in that person's yard. They could have turned around, knocked on the door and asked for a glass of lemonade. Even as a former marching member I wouldn't want any of that going on near my house.

Uhh unless I'm seeing things, BC drumline was straight up in someone's yard. I'd be p*ssed off too

Hey Jeff, serious question. What do you do for a living? Just wondering how one has time to post on a message board a quarter million times.

Jeez that bad?

Jesus I feel like I've been in a coma for 10 years. We're mic'ing entire hornlines now? I thought mics were for soloists and low volume pit instruments.

DCP is not under original ownership? That would explain the Draconian censorship. Also shows how long I've been away.

Hope you're prepared for the safe space crowd to rain fire on you.

Ok. He said "us" as if he were on tour. My bad.

What are you going to do once you have someone's real name? Go find where they live and knock on their door? I'm sorry you feel the need for a safe space. But once you become an adult you'll realize that the real world deals in cold hard facts, not fluffy bunny rabbit rainbows. You also have to understand that this organization begs the general public and it's alumni for money every year. You can understand if people feel their donations are not being used effectively. I myself started my marching career under the Madison banner. It was a dumpster fire back then, and my parents basically told me to find another corps or don't march.

:Sigh:

No offense, but I thought this was a drum corps discussion. Not a safe space for members.

But funny (and accurate) nonetheless

Everyone is wrong. Magic of Orlando is taking gold.

Yeah I get a little trigger happy on the keyboard sometimes. Not a member of Facebook unfortunately. I know I'm not the only one with a case of the memberberries. Hell I can't even listen to a rap song made after 1998 lol.

I think you read that backwards. Bloo Devils traditionally have high brass scores, fewer sets, lots of standing around. I think it was 2017 when the broadcasters actually said something like "it may not be the most demanding show..."

You may be overthinking this

It's a great way to look at drum corps!

You got me. I guess I should stop voting too since I'm not allowed to have an opinion.

Just disappointed with the activity in general. Get off my lawn!

Rosemont back in the hey-day

Yep. Might need to borrow that. About to repaint the house.
