Slow Adam Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 If I were announcing it, I'd totally throw in the Ed. Me too. Ever since BD announced the show I have been saying it (well reading it) wing-ed. I was disappointed to hear Brandt say "wingd". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nagging Cough! Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I've always been under the impression that there's an emphasis on the "ed" in winged; see also "striped." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I just watched the Blue Devils video from Atlanta, and one thing bothered me, I know it's minor, but I think it would be way better if Brandt announced the title emphasizing the "ed" of Winged. Does anyone know how the BD staff / members are saying it? Because I love you all and give, give, give of myself to make your viewing and listening experience of drum corps akin to a gift from heaven, I searched out Wayne Downey in San Antonio and had the following exchange. "Wayne, there has been a topic of conversion on Drum Corps Planet...and I'm not kidding you here...on how the title of your show should be pronounced." "What's there to...what?" "There's a thread about if the word is pronounced 'Winged' as if one syllable, or rather, a dipthong, or 'Wing-ed,' as in two distinct syllables with and 'ed' at the end." "Oh, for...People are really talking about that?" "Yes, and they were wondering what the Blue Devils staff calls it." "'Winged.' I've never heard it pronounced 'Wing-ed.'" "Are you willing to go on record with this important tidbit?" (Laughter) "Yes. You can quote me." And there you have it. Mike (Remember...it's because I love all of you.)

Michael Boo Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Wasn't it pronounced Wing-ed at San Antonio? The announcer didn't have the same conversation with Wayne Downey that I had. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danpod Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I like Wing-ed Victory better. Does it really matter though? If they stay consistent with their scores, they may have to drop the "Winged" and just go with VICTORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ($1 to Entourage).
