cowtown Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 OC is looking way to Green Devils for my tastes, looks like the cookie cutter is catching up, guess that’s why they call it the Bandwagon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percussionization Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Unless you are a member of the Admin team there or have permission from their Directors, I would advise against that. The picture they sent to the donors is NOT the actual photo FJM would liked released. Don't worry, staff said that it would be okay after the first public performance.

IllianaLancerContra Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Stripe is gone forever. Everybody got rid of the stripe for a reason. It makes your technuque look less good. BITD, we said the stripe showed how clean we were. I just realized that somewhere along the way 'clean' got replaced by 'technique'. Not sure if that is relevant,but when did relevance matter on DCP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that is relevant,but when did relevance matter on DCP. But it doesn't mean we were clean just because we said it. Old videos you can clearly see how something like a stripe. or a white buck with black pants showed a sxxt load of dirt , even with the winners. We were also NEVER asked to do anything close to what's done today. So there is quite a difference.

FTNK Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 When I was in high school marching band, I called them "out of step stripes" I thought I saw something on one of Hop's Q&A things saying that since Marc Sylvester has been working with the corps again, he is pushing to re-stripe, and basically said "I dunno at this point."

Old shows would not score well today, and today's shows would not score well using the system from back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000Cadet Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 When I was in high school marching band, I called them "out of step stripes" I thought I saw something on one of Hop's Q&A things saying that since Marc Sylvester has been working with the corps again, he is pushing to re-stripe, and basically said "I dunno at this point." Man I REALLY hope they bring back the stripes. It looks so plain without them and when the technique is mastered by the kids in the corps, they look so weird and so good at the same time. Perhaps I should have phrased it 'how clean we were or were not' I agree it is different now. Old shows would not score well today, and today's shows would not score well using the system from back then. Hell when they get the technique down, the corps looks GREAT with those stripes on the pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Freedman Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Blue Devils still have a stripe (on one leg at least) though who knows if it will still be there for 2014. Wow! I never noticed this. In 2013 they seem to have two stripes on the right leg only, one in front and one on the outside. Strips, plumes, spats, etc. all are a double-edged sword. They show off both how good you are and how bad you are. Whether to include them depends on how you think the judge will respond to it, which probably nobody knows exactly, including the judges themselves.
