full of win

sure. pretty much everyone of the 18-23 world class corps and the few opens I have seen live over the last 5 years. I actually see better technique for indoor than outdoor. thank you for saying should, not is yet that credit is given and we are told that it's the state of the art. but, we were told this wouldn't be the case. and yet we rarely ever see it. so you yourself just killed all of the rationales for possible arrangements we were told we'd see...5 years after we were told we'd see them

true creativity comes from not changing the rules to be creative, but actually working within set limits.

Shadow........DCA can NOT be all things to all people. if you have legitimate questions on insurance and such...email DCA. ask them. maybe dont attack them for how you feel they continually "screw you". really dude...you make yourself more enemies than you do fans, and while I know you'll say it isnt your fault...it is. try a new approach......like asking for help, ideas, suggestions, and stop blaming DCA for all of YOUR issues

and technically since Star came to mini corps finals at DCA, they are undefeated.

not even Rachacha?

yeah i was thinking 3'5" myself

and as such, if found on a drum corps field it should instead become kindling in my fireplace

well, it is a family site

it existed from the day the proposals were made public, and by a lot more than 8 of us

well we never said they were rational

thats exactly it Tom. They had to have that so they could add the other stuff....which, many of us predicted 6 years ago. while poking holes in the rationales put forth. man some of us are smart

but...these guys are experts at this stuff...we kept being told so. yet, we keep seeing what you say is poor writing. so...which is it? because i still dont see heights lowered. i see softer mallets, but jack #### in the way of technique really changing.

"the score went down because it was wet and they didnt plug in" ok we wont really hear that but it sounds good

you know Rondo will try and fit it in

"this place is electric"

i didnt say it would happen, i just said i'd like to see it since the technology to get from album to computer is beyond the average persons budget

here's the bottom line.....if people feel it's worth it, they'll pay. personally i think there's more the fan network could do, and may yet ( like mp3s of every recorded dci show since 1972...not just finals). but, if corps want to bypass dci, then, dci should be smart enough to say "then you only get so much from fan network" and make the equity less communal. you help us, we help you kind of thing.

"it's early"

they have been picked apart. multiple times. read every thread on amplification ever on DCP. not that lgoic and facts have helped get it overturned, but often times logic and rules proposals havent always meshed well from the start

true. yet we still see so much doubling/tripling of parts, so that argument loses steam

not me

entertainment factors will never work. no ones entertainment value is the same as anyone elses.

IMO, you take the scores away, you lose fans so then it could work like other recent changes

you can not judge that which is not there. you can use those words in reference to performance once things get clearer, but thats about what you see live, not what might be yet to come
