CorpsLife Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Back in the "hayday" of drum corps, when there was one in every town, every corps did a company front..... In order to keep the balance, the 22(or whatever) Corps we have now, have to put a few in the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavie74 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Company fronts are set up off of the hash marks or the yard numbers painted on the field. Because of this, all company fronts are now straight as an arrow goal-line-to-goal-line with perfect intervals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmroth1 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Most of them aren't really all that straight nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 In years past, one company front at the end of a show garnered great applause because it was a nearly impossible feat. Now, I think there's an average of about 12 company fronts per show per corps. What used to be a potent spice is now table salt.Company fronts are so ubiquitous now, and appear to be so easy to do, audiences barely respond. Which shows have difficult drill set pieces this year? Are audiences recognizing them? yes, really, let's just have rotating/condensing boxes more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
