BRASSO Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) my point was the fan has become more than a fan which for many takes away from the experience of just enjoying instead of being judge, jury, designer, cook, fashionesta,music major...thats it Perhaps the discussion of these takes away the enjoyment for YOU. Which is totally valid, imo. But please leave it up to others to decide for themselves if interesting discussion and dialogue on here " takes away the enjoyment " of Drum Corps for THEM.

I Would never decide this for someone..enjoy away..to be perfectly honest I was asked this by some members on the bus this summer..But peopel can certainly choose to do whatever they like I just asked a question as many including yourself do. some people have no problem attacking all the things with a drum cops BUT simply ask a fan question and its off limits? hmmmmmmm seems like a double standard so many hate. Well, enjoy away..everyone has that right in whatever form they choose.Also it doesnt take away enjoyment for me..Was just a question.

garfield Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 An app to help you keep track of your "judging" thoughts after each corps' performance? hmmmm..... I'm liking this more and more. $1 for the app and $.50 a vote? Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 some people have no problem attacking all the things with a drum cops I do agree with you that if a poster is always critical of things in DCI Drum Corps that they usually lose some credibility pretty quickly with that.

( as they probably should, imo ) I agree but my point was in that sentence was that its ok to attack or have opinions about everything within a corps but ask the same of fans ( In general ) not personal attacks and its off limits...thats it .... and as I said I was aked this of marching members this summer and vicious attacks aand opinions with certain corps. thats it.

jjeffeory Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Agreed. on a just-for-fun, one-off basis, maybe - though even that might be dangerous, because could you imagine the people's choice crowd-appeal homers howling for Hop/Gibbs/Cesario's head on a platter after some mid-tier group won by a landslide at a regional show on their home turf, thereby "proving" that the regular judging system is flawed, rigged, unfair, etc? The DCP Forum switchboard board would light up like a Christmas tree. Yikes! regards, Fred O. Apparently most people don't come on here, so I don't see the problem. I mean, it's just marching band...

jjeffeory Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 What happened to the days when a fan bought a ticket, went to a show, cheered for who they loved, and bought a hot dog for who they didn't? and no internet to moan about everything. When did everyone become the expert or judge? We critique corps, directors, music, design choices, kids needs or wants, plume colors.......everything BUT the fan hmmmmmm.....now there's a can of worms! lol There are "experts" in every activity. At least in our activity we have people who participated at some level. Think about the NFL. Remember all those Saturday Night Live "Da Bears SuperFans" skits? Armchair quarterbacking indeed! None of those characters participated, but as fans they complained and opined. With the internet everyone gets to be a critique. That's just the way it is! We all get a voice, and we all need to learn how to filter out the crap that we don't want to hear! I use DCP as practice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glory Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Yeah, but I still want to engage fans via SMS. People like to feel like they are a part of something. Let them have an opinion and give it some value, even if that value is just perception of value. Wait... When did clapping and cheering stop being forms of expression, a way for a fan to indicate pleasure (or not) with the performance? This fan vote isn't about expression. It's about metrics.

This fan vote isn't about expression. It's about metrics. Exactly right -- but why do people stay for scores? Because they LOVE to see how the scores came out. These made-up numbers (metrics of some imagined AURAL COMMITMENT level) hold some meaning. I just think it could be an added dimension to the experience of going to a show. It isn't going to get more butts in seats, but may help people feel more involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
