DRB Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 After aging out in 1980, I was a huge fan for several years and drove to many contests. I've not see a drum & brass band (what they really are now) for at least 20 years. I propose that the activity needs to go back to it's roots. Drop the Bb stuff and go back to G bugles. Dump the pit with maybe the exception of timpani and go back to marching percussion. Keep the limit at 128 on the field. Encourage the development/growth of smaller local corps to re-experience the days of 2-day prelims at larger shows. And most of all, everyone in the activity should go back to a more military presence and stop this running around the field with random drills.

I will say that I think progress is still possible even if some rules are suspended, no matter the activity we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
