TxBigfoot Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 There is no such thing as a dr beat!!! It's a "Dr. Beat." Otherwise, some dummy will think you are referring to a "drum beat." See, punctuation does matter, just like your 3rd grade teacher always told you. +++ Which is correct: Is is time to eat Grandmother? Is it time to eat, Grandmother?

xandandl Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Dr Beat? Isn't that a drum corps member's favorite soda? Hey fellow NYer, Psst. Those midwestern and southern folks call them "pop" for soda-pop, water drinking fountains are bubblers, etc. (sodah, soder, sodaa ....depending which side of the river you come from...) Want to start a fight on a current DCI tour bus? Ask the proper pronunciation of 'w-a-t-e-r' and "c-a-r-r-o-t" and watch the regional dialects and provincialism begin. No more the local corps, DCI buses include a little bit of everywhere. Even BD has a snare drummer from outside New Bedford, Mass.

corps8294 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We used to call a "Dr. Beat" a "half mile hailer," back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c mor Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I knew #2 judge would put scv percussion first with a .3 spread, and drop BD to bottom of the top group. Also, that #1 judge would put BD first or second, but have all the top group each .1 apart, which mostly came true. Really, I am not trying to come off as whining. At the top level, a .3 spread is considered, "noticeable difference" between two units. I don't agree with that score, for this year, these top four lines, what they play. Yes, the two judges are averaged, but it ticks me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some parts of the world still, it'd be the former, not the latter ( haha!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends upon whether or not you wish to be known as the big, bad wolf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyfan Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Which is correct: Is is time to eat Grandmother? Is it time to eat, Grandmother? I asked Grandfather. He said both are correct. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanceengland Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So, any idea the reasoning behind not being able to warm-up to a metronome? It was made a rule for some reason. Just curious, is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
