soccerguy315 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 yup, noticed that in my first read though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peel Paint Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) It was noticed and mentioned at the time when the link to the actual proposal was first posted here. I expressed surprise in a post at that time that it didn't draw more fire, but people were so shocked by the gutting of DCI that the proposal represented that there were bigger fish to fry, and so the notice was largely ignored. The choice of "winds" wording was of course no accident, though, you're right. Broadening the instrumentation is what Hop has wanted for many years, and going outside DCI's "overly restrictive" rules, in his view, is the easiest way to get there.

84skyrydr Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 That is why I see no problem with this G7. I lost all respect for those corps, but I want them to leave and become band. Drum corps will survive and maybe even thrive with a complete changing of the guard. How many drum corps purists are going to go see a band show just because it is now the Blue Devils band? I really don't know the answer, maybe more, maybe less, but they will not be the same and drum corps can start working itself back to drum and bugle corps without all the complete game changing proposals Hoppy has been throwing at the board. This could be a win/win, a lose/lose or any combo therein. But really, G7 take your game and go, see ya. Wait no I won't, I personally don't enjoy band shows so I won't be there to see ya.......
