Hrothgar15 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 ...one for music majors, and one for non-music majors? It would be hard to define the split, but basically, certain corps would be open to only music majors and certain corps only to everyone else. I feel the audience of each league would be split in a similar fashion. The corps would compete within their individual league, on different sheets. Maybe for a "post-finals" type thing the top 6 corps from each league would all compete against each other on the same sheets. It would be interesting to see how the leagues differed in show design, turnout, etc. I feel like that would solve a lot of problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvs me sum mello! Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Plenty of current marching members are not music majors, contrary to this board's popular belief. So no, it wouldn't do the activity any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barifonium Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 exactly... I'm a business major, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrillmanSop06 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Definitely not a music major - marched anyway. Marched with a lot of non-music majors. Silly topic, IMO. It would be good for one to really get in the trenches and see how many people in each corps are actually music majors. Seems like something one would need to really get close to the corps to find out. Maybe even learning about each individual as you go through the season with them. On tour. In a drum corps.

I think a simple survey would suffice, don't you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrillmanSop06 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think a simple survey would suffice, don't you think? I don't think it's necessary; the premise is totally bogus. That and DCI did a survey in '08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj02 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 From http://www.dci.org/about/ "59.6 percent of the current college students are pursuing music education degrees, while 65 percent of those that indicated they are high school students intend to major in music education." Along with other shortcomings of this idea, I suspect you'd have a hard time filling a guard with music majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room_101 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 While we're at it, let's re-segregate the water fountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrillmanSop06 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) While we're at it, let's re-segregate the water fountains. Is this Jeopardy? What are...things Hrothgar hasn't experienced! But seriously. This idea is just silly. And misplaced; the designs are staff-driven, not marcher driven.
