BRASSO Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) w One thing for sure is they are different and theres no denying that as many do wish or would like to think they are the same...there are way to many world changes that have made all things different, not better or worse but very different. One is on solid ground when they state that " Drum Corps in ( pick an era ) is different than today's Drum Corps". Most would have to agree that there has been many changes over the years in Drum Corps. However, its gets a little dicier to state that a marcher of today gets a better (or worse) " experience in enjoyment level " than in earlier eras.... or that a marcher from an earlier era had a less ( or more ) satisfiyng experience doing Drum Corps than the typical marcher of today. Its literally impossible to make that claim, imo. No matter what their level of " experience " is in Drum Corps. Today, or in 1948 or whenever.

bariman321 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 well, if there's a bunch of old farts like the OP around here stirring trouble, I think the younger members of this thread should be unpleasant and ignorant as well! after all, it would be unfair if we weren't :rolleyes: :rolleyes: let me start off: I LOVE B-FLAT HORNS, I LOVE AMPLIFICATION, I LOVE TEMPOS HIGHER THAN 160, I LOVE GEORGE HOPKINS AND DAVID GIBBS, I LOVE JAZZ RUNNING, I LOVE THE 2010 BLUE DEVILS SHOW, I DO NOT ENJOY 70's-80's DRUM CORPS, DINOSAURS SHOULD BE EXTINCT LIKE THE REAL ONES, etc. Please, if you are a dinosaur, grow up. you can't bring the past back and bringing down the future generation does nothing good except show how complacent you are. COMPLACENCY KILLS, thats why the activity has grown and changed over the years, thats why its not about inspections and marking time. ITS. JUST. MARCHING. BAND. DUH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or combine all of his threads so we have a central place to slam him for his idiocy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Dinosaur, and I happen to enjoy shows both from the past and the present. As an artist, I agree with you about complacency and stagnation. We should always be experimenting and pushing forward. But at the same time, some of the coolest innovations I've seen, have often come from bringing past influences into the present and putting a new twist on them. As for your comment to the OP about not being able to get the ten days back... Well at least now you'll have a new appreciation for standing in line at the DMV.
