Horizon Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Oh...my bad. I thought we were talking about Boston's guard uniforms...can anyone say...salad only for some folks at the kitchen trailer? Eating disorders in drum corps for the sake of the performance: ok or not ok? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brace Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Eating disorders in drum corps for the sake of the performance: ok or not ok? Discuss. No...misread my comments. I apologize. Also, salad does not institute an eating disorder. Just let's be clear here. The point of my comments is Boston's choice of guar uniform is appropriate for some of the guard people but not, at least in the early season for others. And the very nature of drum corps can lead to eating disorders post corps life. No one can sustain the estimated 20,000 daily calorie loss a drum corps marching member goes through during the season. So, they can eat as much after their time in corps, with far less exercise. This can lead to eating disorders. But, this wasn't about that. This was about nudity and Boston's guar uniform choice.

Jeff Ream Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I find the whole synth "debate" kind of ridiculous. It reminds me a lot of the Gay Marriage debate, actually."If we let gays get married, next we'll have to allow people to marry sheeps!" "If we let synths into Drum Corps, we'll have to let in hookers!" some say we already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me a lot of the Gay Marriage debate, actually."If we let gays get married, next we'll have to allow people to marry sheeps!" "If we let synths into Drum Corps, we'll have to let in woodwinds and strings and gay hookers!" Right, because it's not possible to be against synths on their own merits. You can only be against sythns as part of being against all change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think people are freaking out in the same way they freak out about every change. Attendance has been pretty steady at around 30,000 people at finals for a good 30 years.

Horizon Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 You all are digressing. I believe we were talking about pyrotechnic usage in drum corps. We have another thread for synths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only be against sythns as part of being against all change. I actually think the folks that define their arguments against the use of synths in very narrow, well thought out contexts to be the most cogent of all in this debate. This isn't about going back to Gs or symetrical drill or posting honor guards, this is simply judging each specific use of a newly allowed instrument. Some uses will be acceptable to some, some not. Overall, after the season, we can have a further debate regarding the totality of the uses of synthesizers in drum corps. I look forward to that discussion.
