Longtime Fan Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hypothetical: An Open Class corps has a program idea sure to be popular with fans and inspire enthusiastic crowd reaction, standing O's and all. But its not cutting edge and may not get "respect" from other corps staff and possibly the judging community. But fans would love it. Would that show ever see the field?

cowtown Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) shows like that hit the field all the time Cutting edge is often wrongly thought of as always good but it can end up equally bad too I think too many lame shows are the results of trying to get '"respect" from other corps staff and possibly the judging community'' (see the late 90s early 00s) You want the drum corps world to notice you in a good way, it starts with the crowd and getting people talking …the scores will follow Perception is box 5 GE Edited December 17, 2007 by cowtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm often more entertained by shows that don't have the demand or execution of top placing shows. That doesn't mean that it's disrespectful to say they don't deserve to place higher. It happens with figure skating a lot too, among other things. Anybody remember a guy named Philipe Candeloro? He didn't win a lot of medals, but boy were a lot of his programs entertaining. The same is true of a lot of corps programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a couple shows from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
