Paint ball guns for the fans in first twenty rows, with auto scoring sensors on the marchers – we need to get the fans more involved, interactive is still such the buzz word

oooOOooo....I just bought one on ebay. This sounds like a fun way to use it. All we need to do is equip the shakos of the members with little visors and eyeguards or something.... :tongue:

SCV 1989 - I mean, come on. That show is legendary.

Cavaliers 2004 - I've never known a show to exude so much personality and embody a story so well. Every member of that corps became Bond and it showed on and off the field. quarters broadcast, anyone? lol

I don't have time to read this whole thread so this may have been said already. It probably has. Entertainment is not a value that most top corps have anymore. Entertainment comes second. And as far as arrangers and writers, most are just trying to further their own careers. Gone are the days when they worked for the kids. The kids are now vehicles for advancing their careers. Like pawns in a chess game. They will do with you what they please because it's all about their name and career. Not you.

Do you honestly believe that?? I mean I can buy your argument about a lack of entertainment (maybe), but do you really think that all these designers care about is notoriety in an incredibly narrow-focused niche activity??? Seems like the picked the wrong career if they wanted fame and accolades....
