Mello Dude Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Some Corps in the past have been known to provide a disappearing act with props to the conclusion of their performance. What if a corps did a novel approach with disappearing act with the mirrors in the pre show. Would that work for you ? Hey, according to MikeD anything should go.

BRASSO Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'm watching all the marching bands in the Rose Bowl parade right now, and I'm struck that every one of these bands is playing music that is recognizable and " fan friendly ". There are millions of people right now watching these bands today. What was the question on this thread again ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamMan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 no " singers " and the " rock guitarists ", What about if a corps does it to begin their upward climb, a la Crown? no high brow shows that make sense to the designers only -see BD 2010 I did not design that show, but I love it. Oops. color. Isn't that conducive to having multiple voices play at once? real impacts. I'll tell Crown to stop playing loud, long chords immediately. shows based on performance, not mirrors , or Jeffries , or a guy playing flugel horn in his pajamas . What? How is performing not performance? No cheese soloists using a mic because they have no sound. Which corps did this? no effects on brass instruments. you ruined a great bari solo bluecoats. Yeah, I'm upset they fit the music to their show concept, too! No, I'm not. no shows with less than 6 corps add OC or seniors . Ok. You gonna pay for the smaller corps to perform with them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 So, you want dci to be like rose parade bands. I don't want that. No. And I never said that I want " DCI to be like Rose Bowl Bands ". Do you want Rose Bowl Bands to be like The Stanford Univ. Band ? " I don't want that ". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
