Kamarag Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Both of those changes are absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to see what the top corps do with electronics, and it's about time the drum judge got to view the entire percussion ensemble as a whole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 In DCI, electronics led to four-plus years of heavy bass goo, which corps only began to rein in during 2013 and 2014. Amplified voice gave us such abominations as Crown's "Looooove" poem in 2004 and BD's "Yowza" narrator in 2005. But better that than sampling, where a focal point of the performance isn't even delivered live or by a corps member. In the case of Cadets this summer, the sheer fact that prerecorded sounds are permitted left half the audience incorrectly assuming the speaker was just lip-syncing. So... please learn from DCI's mistakes, DCA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I can't believe I'm the first one to post, but I saw this on Facebook: Electronic instruments (synths), sampling, and voice amplification has been approved for 2015 I can't wait to start rehashing the same old arguments we did when the junior corps did this 5 years ago. Oh wait- yes I can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we could go back and just cut and paste from the old threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I suspect we could go back and just cut and paste from the old threads. Or, people could just accept that the activity changes over time, put their big-boy pants on and deal with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel lips Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Who said this and when??? The problem I see with electronics is in a few years the argument for electronics in DCA will be the same one as the Bb arguments that have been made. Think about it. Someone will be posting on the DCA boards here.Kids in DCI have come to like and expect electronics in drum corps.Therefore DCA has moved to allow electronics to bridge the gap between DCI and DCA.It will help with recruiting and retention because coming in,,the kids will feel more welcome to the activity.It will be easier for the kids to learn the music when they can hear it electronically. Yadda Yadda Yadda. It was ME that's who.way back in July 2009. The handwriting was on the wall!! Oh and for all of you that said just amping the pit would not lead to electronics???? WRONG http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/index.php/topic/126976-dca-dci-and-electronics/ Edited December 8, 2014 by camel lips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel lips Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I partially liked Tom Peashey "personal opinion" in the above referenced thread. Personal Opinion despite serious financial and logistical questions, I've never been against a little electricity in the pit for equipment that was designed for it and traditionally uses it... that being said... if you open the door... to let the VW bug through - SOMEONE will drive a bus through even if they scrape the sides of the bus going through... Adding bass guitars that are adjusted and amplified to sound like Contras or synthesizers that are flat out amazing and can replace dozens of bodies - adding anything the artificially replaces performers is simply WRONG... period... end of discussion...
