Kamarag Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 well, just b/c they aren't making noise and marching doesn't mean they aren't doing anything... it just means they are doing something else. Nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan9 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Given current judging, if a corps came out and did 4:33 by John Cage, did not move, did not play a single note, then left the field, could they get a 100? Bear in mind that this is a total joke coming from me, but in theory, how could a judge deduct points if such a flawless and effective performance was put out there? If this happened, given the intent of the show (silence, forcing the audience member to listen to the sounds of their current environment) visual adaptation of the piece (no movement to force the audience to observe their current environment) our new thing of "engaging" the audience could not be denied because they would be completely immersed in the show. Thoughts?? This is so.......well..da da! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 good point plan... I mean, if BD can program a show where dropping guard tosses should get you more points, then surely the idea in the OP is not really as outside the box as it might appear.

Cron Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nothing A drum corps that does nothing on purpose is a very interesting concept. This could be achieved by a one member corps and very limited staff. I think they should still have a few semis and a food truck though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is "synchronized dropping"! Edited July 18, 2012 by Plan9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowncontramom Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I was also thinking that this is sounding more and more like INT !! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldveMarchedAgeOut Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 while this thread is completely hilarious...does it not bring up some interesting flaws in a scoring sheet? not that one would ever be perfect in anyone's eyes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
