SF2K4 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I don't want to NOT attend a show again this year. I haven't NOT seen a show since 2003 until last year. Pained me deeply, especially to mis Mad World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I think he liked his Kool Aid just the way it was, please don't mix any reality in it He was talking about competitive marching bands, which are giving many kids their marching fix. How many people here remember when such bands were referred to as "corps style"? Well, "corps style" won the battle, but some would say lost the war. Bands overwhelmingly became "corps style" and the differentiation between bands and corps became muted. Countless thousands of kids are getting a corps-like experience (complete with camps, travel, competition and instructors who were trained in corps) without venturing beyond the auspices of their own schools.

FuriousSoundbyte Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 G bugles Malaguena, or any music that I've heard on the field 10 times, for that matter hornlines approaching 90 short sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 1) They get older and 2) the available pool of corps shrinks decade by decade. There are just fewer corps vets to draw from as time goes on. 1. All fans get older. 2. The available pool of corps will not continue to shrink if DCI follows their current business plan. They intend to foster growth in number of corps, as well as growth in number of members per corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellofello01 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) i'll be honest, no vampire shows, please. Circuit City, a new drum corps sponsored by HBO and Sony, and replete with every electronic device known to man, including 50 large screen 60" LED HDTVs lining the front sideline (guard screens) offering streaming commercials for continued financial health and scenic displays, are proud to announce their 2K11 program, "TRUE BLOOD". "We are excited about this endeavor. Sony has contracted to bring 20% of all their employees to regionals and all employees to Championships to cheer on their 250 kids" says Circuit City CEO, Lon Drac. When asked about the 150 competing member limit Mr Drac explained, "Our show is designed to accommodate all eventualities. As an example, our guard has 100 highly trained members. By simply removing every other person for a particular performance, we would only need to reduce 50 more from elsewhere for any limiting performance. We may not always do this." And no, I do not want to see this either, but "you never know." It certainly would be loud if only the TVs were gone.
