bluublood Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Who cares if we alienate the 17 and under crowd? They can either wait until they are 18, or get their parents to buy FanNetwork or DVDs. (or watch videos on certain websites) Who cares??? A huge component of the drum corps fan base consists of people younger than 18. Edited June 23, 2009 by bluublood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Actually, are there current rules against nude or otherwise risque images on flags or props (think Colts' postcards from a couple of years ago)? I'm not meaning porn or anything, but rather artistic nudes like classic paintings or statues of nudes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NR_Ohiobando Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Even if people would want it to happen, and obviously it would never fly, there would just be too many obstacles. What happens when it comes to corps pics going out all over the internet? ...yeah. Does that make jolesch a porn site? Who in their right mind would perform naked in front of 20,000 people anyway, on top of knowing that their body could very well be plastered all over the internet? Yikes... I don't think it's that big of a deal. There are stage shows in Vegas that have nudity all the time (and not just the strip clubs ). I've never actually seen Cirque de Soleil, but I'm pretty sure there has been nudity in some of their shows. Imagine what a drum corps could do with their music now that they have nudity! I mean, we have electronic bass in a Kansas show to make it seem like a live concert...why not have nudity in a Cirque show to get the full effect? Sure we would alienate the 17 and under crowd, but the most important thing is that the corps are able to fully express their artistic desires.

j.morgus Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 No disrespect to nudity, I don't feel that the addition of nudity would be a benifit to the overall health of the activity as a whole. It would tend to accelerate the trends that give credence to the claims of eletism in the makeup of todays DCI corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Allowing minors to watch the shows greatly outweighs allowing corps being able to 'show em what their mother's gave em' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NR_Ohiobando Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Who cares??? A huge component of the drum corps fan base consists of people younger than 18. That didn't stop DCI from alienating some of the purists (young and old) by adding dance, voice, valves, 3 valves, Bb keyed instruments, amplification, vocal amplification, electronic instruments, and most importantly WATER EFFECTS! I really have no reason to believe they would care about alienating the 17 and under crowd from performances. It is interesting to note that the bolded list of items all occurred in an 8 year time span. The other 4 took almost 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 {]So what about allowing nudity? } I would be against any judge, judging in the nude. It already takes a lot of my resolve to look at a few of them with their clothes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
