drilltech1 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Carolina Crown has been so close to winning a " Crown " ... we see Crown donning the duds we see here and created by a guy that has enormous influence ...

perc2100 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The Drum Corps activity likewise would be in GREAT shape with LOTS of fans, if "for every 1 Drum Corps vet it lost, it found 15 new recruit fans waiting to fill its spot". In this similar vein, if drum corps tried to tailor their programs, design decisions, rules, etc. to all of their alumni the activity would've likely died a long time ago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecoats88 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lets be frank and honest here. Its the weird shows, with the weird looking uniforms. Thus its not surprising to me that it appears that Carolina Crown this season has opted to forgo their crowd pleasing shows and go with something that many in the audience might consider weird and strange.. right down to their uniforms, ( or more correctly now, imo.. costumes. ) since every member in the musical part of the corps will be wearing them they are correctly called a uniform since they will be a uniform look from member to member. just because they don't look like military uniforms doesn't mean they are not uniforms. Uniform is just a term to denote that all members wear the same thing or in essence look uniform. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 since every member in the musical part of the corps will be wearing them they are correctly called a uniform since they will be a uniform look from member to member. just because they don't look like military uniforms doesn't mean they are not uniforms. Uniform is just a term to denote that all members wear the same thing or in essence look uniform. Military uniforms (the ancestor of Drum Corps uniforms) are worn by the military to distinguish them from civilians - it is a part of the international Law of Armed Conflict (sometimes referred to as the Geneva Conventions). Military uniforms technically have to identify the country the soldier is from - i.e., U.S. Army. The fact that one is uniformed military allows certain privileges. For example - captured military are considered POWs. But combatants not in uniform can be shot as spies. But more on-topic - I like it when guard uniforms are indeed uniform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Would not the 1985 show be considered body movements: Mark Hart (now a DCI visual judge) doing a one-handed body flip as he charged down the endzone bleachers to vault the fence onto the field..., or Tom Smith's antics getting from the end zone tunnel to make his dot across the entire corps at warp speed bpm... as the corps formed the files of the tribes of Israel in the opener of Jeremiah's Symphony? Or later in the Les Mis show and the year after? Check the soprano lead who gets to his spot on the 30 front sideline and each show kicks the yard marker to the audience... More than military bearing movements have been there for years. As the sports announcing legend Howard Cosell used to say, "Let's go to the video tapes..." You're referencing individual body movements. I'm writing about choreographed movements of the entire corps that are similar to Crown's MO. However, thank you for bringing back these memories. Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangelego2 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm looking forward to Surf's new uniforms this year. Looking at their show title, I bet they'll look pretty groovy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
