rut-roh Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Sorry, I should have specified more. The Brass wasn't playing for 2 minutes. So what? How many shows have we seen over the years where the battery contributes absolutely ZERO to the ballad musically, sometimes for three or more minutes. And sometimes, they get thrown into the back of the field or take a knee on the front sideline and don't contribute anything visually either. Nobody seems to make complaints about those great shows. And some of those shows not only won a DCI title, but are considered by some around here to be classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContraFart Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 so what you're saying is that BD only needs half the time other corps need to convince judges they're the best? sounds good to me.. lol... work smarter not harder, what? They can stand still and sound better than everyone else (which I agree they do)....but this IS a marching activity....and that SHOULD reflect in the score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieldofBlueDreams Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 heh. It does reflect in the score. Do i want to watch 8 minutes of lesser quality drill and music or would i want to watch several sections of a corps do their thing flawlessly for a smaller portion of time. I pick perfection. just my preference though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FieldofBlueDreams Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) yeah okay but they're not playing mary had a little lamb... and that whole cavies to bd thing is apples to oranges. Two completely different perspectives, philosophies and direction of drum corps. They're both incredible but they do it different stylistically. Thats what i love about this activity. Do what you want, we'll do what we want and we'll let those guys with the green shirts decide. they just so happen to be liking the color blue too...

InspaDave Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 so you would rather watch a corps flawlessly march in a block playing mary had a little lamb, then watch '02 Cavies? Suncoast played Mary Had a Little Lamb in '88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
