euponitone Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The A/C kind of takes some of the fun/challenge out of drum corps. Anyone can perform a 12-minute show in a climate-controlled environment with a roof over their head. It takes real balls to be able to throw down in sunny, muggy mid-August weather. Lol...speak for yourself. I'll take my dome shows as they come, thank you very much. We get what, 30 shows outside, and 3 inside (most years). Besides, that old turf in the SA dome was vicious. I remember at least 2-3 people falling from every corps before us in 2003 there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there was a turf issue in the alamodome. Last year the field looked incredible! Probably because of the Dallas Cowboys emblem on the 50 yard line.

I have been so hungry to see drum corps that I decided to check out the Crossmen camp this weekend. I was in San Antonio for the weekend and my sister lives like 6 blocks from Ronald Reagan High. I thought I'd sneak out for an hour or so to hear what they were doing. When I got there - they were not there! Turns out they had to use a different school for this weekend only! ######!

I learned to now check the corps' website to see where they are rehearsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourouttheforty Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Protect the field? Is it water-soluble? Sounds like no: http://hopsblog2.livejournal.com/200277.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerTan Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I can see Hoppy's point, but last time I checked he was the one who put the rules on the table to add amplification and electronics to take away from the drumlines supressing the other 'voices' on the field. Now he is concerned about the drums. It's just Hoppy's plug for more electronics to make up for the reverb of the possibility of a closed retractable roof. ps... Besides Jackson Quarters 1993 and Orlando Quarters 2003 I cannot remember any significant rain, so once again DCPers, lets not put the cart before the horse on another topic that is 16 months away. There are far too many more trolls to be killed between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
