I'm not sure. You continue to post as "Stu" when everyone knows "troll" is more accurate! By your logic, you should immediately change your username!

Back to ACTUAL discussion!

I would support a name-change after woodwinds...

And because I disagree when a name change should have occurred; and because I challenge posters, including you, on various opinions; because I 'constantly risk absurdity' livening up discussions; you call me a troll and want the mods to censor me; ok, I got that.

Should have been changed after WW2. Clearly they stopped being bugles with the addition of valves. Adding in other voices like alto and baritone was another nail in the coffin. True drum corps has one voice: soprano. Worse yet was when these so-called drum corps started performing "field shows" on football fields just like stupid disgusting inferior marching bands. When I saw the Troopers do that uber-bando sunburst that was it. Drum corps was dead for me . . . I might as well have been watching a college band at halftime.

Why on earth should DCI change its name? Because five guys on DCP cannot agree on the definition of "drum corps"?

I have no idea what their gender is.

Five Guys do make inexpensive ' burgers with free peanuts on the side however, so they're ok in my book.

This is kind of like asking "are palm trees and pine trees more similar, or more different?"

You're barking up the wrong tree

This thread came pre-derailed!

It has been well illustrated here in these august forums that this thing we call a "name" is wholly and completely arbitrary. Anything can be called anything, and thank goodness for it. So, to save us all inevitable future anguish, I hereby propose that all woodwind instruments now be called "auxiliary brass."

Here, Here!!!! If something is actually defined by 'what we call ourselves', I hereby propose that DCP is now considered as an organization for people who are way more intelligent than those who join MENSA!!!
