skajerk Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I want to know when the theremin will be added! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think it's already legal, like other electronic instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie1223 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I want to know when the theremin will be added! I think Blue Knights already used a theremin or theremin like sounds in their show in 2012 "Avian". But you know, its the trombone that's the last straw... go figure!

bigbluekiltie Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Another reason not to like the change: If corps are put in a position where they must purchase these instruments, what will the financial burden be? What about the corps who cannot afford them? Will there be a competitive disadvantage to NOT having them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn State Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Speaking from professional experience (I work at an agency with a market research arm), it's disgustingly expensive to get something truly accurate and worthwhile, especially in the "niche" zone. Here's a question for the class: How do you lower the cost of the activity - tuition, operating costs, or ticket prices - in any discernible way without taking away from the quality? Stop buying brand new equipment every season.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've been over this, but most drum corps don't really lose money on the horns they are buying at wholesale and turning around at the end of the season for slightly under. You'd have to look at their books to verify, but this was my understanding when I was working at Yamaha.

You'd have to look at their books to verify, but this was my understanding when I was working at Yamaha. Another logical reason for trombones....easy sale to the other bandos!

Penn State Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 ...and a french horn "bugle" just wont do. It wouldn't actually BE a french horn like the symphyony orchestra uses, it was just sound like one and fit into the already established horns... We don't want to use what we have, we need to covet what we don't have... Didn't crown already do a show on this...something like....the grass is always greener....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
