jjeffeory Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 With all the hoopla about amping percussion and brass, should we finally cross the line and allow guards to be amped? And, if so, how should we do it? What benefits might we experience from amping the guards? What downsides might we experience? I think we should finally cross the line and allow EVERYONE to be amped. Imagine how much a show could benefit, for example, from the comment of George Hopkins during the show! I mean, that would be like having the DVD's live! Better yet, why not amp the judges booth? I would love to hear their comments during the show. Man this is such a great idea! As far as the corps members go... We could definitely hear crunchy waffles better if guards were amped. I think we can all agree how useful doing this would be! We should all find a Madonna concert rerun on TV or YouTube video for inspiration on how this should work. I think she used some wireless head mics in her show. The guards could use something like that for sure! On the down side, the heavy breathing and sound of a potential equipment mishap may be disturbing to young children. What happens if all the cellphones and WiFi signals interfere with the wireless mic signals? That could be disastrous for a show that relies heavily on this innovative presentation.

Michael Boo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 I assume mods are going to close this, right? The mods aren't afraid of stimulating and provocative discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 But might drill become passé? If so, shouldn't we plan for whatever is going to replace drill? How about laser light shows that create drill evolutions on the field? I think BD is already on that, Mike. They're building a house to replace drill because a House is NOT a home....

SFZFAN Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Didn't The Cadets mic a couple of guard members in '06 and '07? I think we'd all like to forget about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear their comments during the show. Man this is such a great idea! If they could do that for just one show.....aw man! That'd be one hell of a show for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Mike Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I think we'd all like to forget about that. I'd "like" to but like drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth, it makes it's mark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lots of fans would be turning on their cellphones in the hopes of finding out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanditKir Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 The mods aren't afraid of stimulating and provocative discussion. A. Guard can already be amped B. I'm not sure how much stimulating and provocative discussion is going on and C. Pancakes are better than waffles. And don't even get me started on crepes.
