Newseditor44 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Other than one or two shows that have made me raise an eyebrow, I have yet to really see a show that has me wanting to drop $120 for tickets to take my family to see a drum corps show this season. You would figure that since the economy is in the crapper, and because people will be spending less money going to shows, that the designers/corps could figure out a way to market themselves a little better. Wait a minute, this is drum corps, everything has to be dark and evil. Never mind, carry on. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me cheer you up. 12 world class corps have not made any official announcement of their repertoire or show title. And of the corps that shared some information it is barely enough to gauge if a show will be "good" or "bad" or "indifferent". Also, ALL 23 World corps have not even completed their 2011 drum corps shows let alone solidified their designs. And absolutely no one knows what these 2011 productions will look like or sound...

DrinkinOuttaCups Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Doesn't matter if it's "dark and evil" or even "bright and happy." Good music is good music, period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can make this determination in March when only a small handful of corps have even announced their show, let alone put up a sample of their music? Wow! You're really good! (/sarcasm) Edit: Awe heck, I'll just take your lead and sell my 50 yard line seats now. Any takers?

If that doesn't make you raise the other eyebrow then nothing will. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a minute, this is drum corps, everything has to be dark and evil. Never mind, carry on. Ladies and Gentlemen, Exhibit A in the "worst change in drum corps" thread: the internet. Here's someone who has seen zero performances from a drum corps season that is 2.5/3 months away from even beginning. There have been very few public recordings from corps camps released, and roughly HALF of the WC corps have made zero announcement regarding their show theme and/or rep. There have certainly been zero videos showing visual design. Yet here we have someone astute enough to already form an opinion, good or bad, about show designs for the upcoming season. Absolutely amazing... 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
