You didn't see the scouts running around taking selfies and playing games during your turn. They stood at attention and gave you the floor during your performance. poor form Academy poor form. They'll have plenty of time to take selfies from their stadium seats at finals. LOL look at who's taking the stadium selfies now? 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocketman 318 Report post Posted August 31, 2016 Okay, first of all, it's drum lines! Probably don't need to say much more than that! They don't even take themselves seriously! If they do, they are missing the point entirely. Why so Serious? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luv4corps 1,387 Report post Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) I think the OP has a point. Drumline battles perhaps don't have a rigid set of conduct standards yet, but perhaps they should? Just because something is more casual and fun doesn't mean there should be rudeness or disrespect IMO. Edited September 1, 2016 by luv4corps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because something is more casual and fun doesn't mean there should be rudeness or disrespect IMO. And I'm sure The Academy didn't set out to be disrespectful or rude. Taking selfies and letting your hair down isn't intentionally mocking anyone. Think the OP was reading into things that were not there and were their own opinion. I get why this thread got brought back up but the original discussion made me want to bang my head against a wall. Like the retreat discussion, there is more than one way to do it. The Academy had some fun with it, and Madison did it more traditionally. Not like anyone cares about Drumline battle anyway. Outside of the championship week stuff it's the last thing I want to have to sit through at a show. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
