cowtown Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 now, get a couple keyboard geeks, and you can leave the entire pit at home,............... why stop there, just leave the entire corps home except the guard which will soon be dropped after they pass the use of a light show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscout96 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 now, get a couple keyboard geeks, and you can leave the entire pit at home,............... I know you're being sarcastic, but that won't happen because there are always plenty of young mallet percussionists willing to pay a ton of money to a corps for the opportunity to march with them.

drumcat Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I know you're being sarcastic, but that won't happen because there are always plenty of young mallet percussionists willing to pay a ton of money to a corps for the opportunity to march with them. The question remains, however... Is a MalletKat Marimba legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BST07 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 That's probably the most likely way someone will get booed off the field. I think people will try to be innovative with synths, but I don't think anyone is going to be outright stupid with them. Then again, I've been proven wrong time and again when it comes to how stupid some people will be... And I think the introduction of woodwinds is probably the most likely way for most brass players to stop marching. I just doing think its ever going to happen. I suppose it could...but hopefully not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malletrockr12 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 They call it drum and BUGLE corps for a reason. Woodwinds are in no way even close to a horn. Keep it off the field and in the concert hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottgordon Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) It just occured to me, if any corps wanted to have woodwinds on the field in 09, it would be as easy as pushing a button and some keys. Anyone think that will be tried? Everyone is posting concerns about the corps using electronics to produce artificial woodwinds. I think an even scarier proposition is the use of electronics to produce artificial BRASS. No need to practice for months to get 60 horns to blow your face off, when you can pull down a menu, select "brassline", press the chord you want, and slide the fader knob to "11".

HornsUp Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The rule, as passed, is stupidly written. Sampling is a method of sound production. Synthesis is another. Sequencing is a design technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I tend to think that all electronic music is a percussion instrument so by that definition… Electronic instruments = electronophones Instruments that are struck to produce sound = idiophones Instruments that make sound through the vibration of a membrane = membranophones http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/ap...rumentmain.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
