Mellofello01 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 A trombone is a bell-forward brass instrument, which is how I believe legal instruments are defined in the rules, so I suspect yes. But, just to irritate us old guys, make it a 'G' trombone. -edited for more gooder english I see what you did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 The rule book is on the DCI website, but as far as I know there is no link. Here is what I found: http://www.dci.org/extranet/tep/downloads/2009/policies/2009_Rulebook.pdf So what would be an example of brass instrument with non-continuous tubing? Actually wouldn't a tromebone be "more" continuous than any valved instrument? I understand what you mean by "visual of the instrument wouldn't change with the altering of pitch" but technically no brass instrument would qualify. That rulebook is VERY outdated. Lots of changes since 2009, primarily in the equipment section. The 2010 version would be far more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it looks to me that a regular trombone could be used. More Yikes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be outdated, but it was the only rule book I found. Apparently, the rule book is a secret. Anyway, I doubt there were many changes to what defines a legal brass instrument over the past 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hey Mike (I was the one that yelled 'go Boo' at open class prelims, by the way) - as DCI's chief apologist, can you explain why the rules are not on-line in a pdf format? Having these available could answer many questions. I don't think of myself as an apologist...I just like providing information I have when either questions arise from those who want to know or when statements are made by those who don't know, but think they might. I've had a couple talks about the rules going up on DCI.org. Hope springs eternal, like that of a Cubs fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on Amazon - it is not on there so here is their chance to corner the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Well as far as band instruments like woodwinds and trombones. I would rather not but if a drum corps did it I think the quality would be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do it myself if I knew how, but I'm only allowed by the Geneva Conference to do just so much with the Internet, lest I accidentally blow up the World Wide Web and cause North Korean missiles to rain down upon a school of endangered whales.
