G-horns Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Okay. After reading the scheduled times for prelims and alumni, there's a difference of 1 minute in the time between corps. Seventeen minutes for the prelims, eighteen for the alumni. I know we alumni usually don't run 160bpm, but are we that slow that we need more time? (that's said in jest, folks! no need to get your panties in a bunch.) More seriously, I hope that all the alumni corps are aware of the 18 minute rule and the full interpretation. It's a real downer for a corps to perform for audience approval only and be told "time's up, you have to get off the field" before they are finished with a show of reasonable length. An afterthought: Who's gonna tell the USMC they are done? (Boy, I love stirring the pot!) :^) Edited August 30, 2012 by G-horns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real downer for a corps to perform for audience approval only and be told "time's up, you have to get off the field" before they are finished with a show of reasonable length. Hopefully, the alumni corps have designed and rehearsed to fit in that 18 minute window. If not, they deserve to get thrown off the field for lack of proper preparation. And let's be honest, it's a rule that needs enforcement. Many alumni corps would play forever if allowed to. It's a real downer for the later corps to be screwed by an earlier corps that doesn't know when it's time to stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real downer for the later corps to be screwed by an earlier corps that doesn't know when it's time to stop. MANY alumni corps feel that the only reason that there are people in the stands is to see "their corps". Therefore many need a hook as in vaudeville days to get them off the field. I agree 18 minutes should be more than enough time to perform. More than 18 minutes get the hook!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree that some of our alumni brothers and sisters go a little long. That's why I said "reasonable" length of show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
