MrBud Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I see Corps having Moderator parts recorded for the performances. I see sound effects being performed by a button. Should Corps be allowed to play a recorded sax or trombone or trumpet solo?THAT WAY SOLOISTS can be perfect every time...The audience and judges would never know... Thoughts?

actucker Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Actually, there are rules regarding those kinds of things. I don't know what the verbiage is in the DCI rulebook, but in WGI, its worded around the concept of "rhythmic intent". Spoken word can be triggered, but song lyrics have to be one sound per key stroke. So no, you could not trigger entire solos. And yes, the judges would know. They're close enough to the action to be able to tell. In indoor, there are timing and penalties judges that watch for that kind of thing. I've seen groups get penalized for trying to sneak it by.
