Stu Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 ... Personally I think the reason you're so hostile in your responses regarding this is because you haven't grasped the very most basic symbolism. Things don't represent other things in your view of the world. You have no basis for interpretation. Start here. Here's a basic primer. Things represent other things. Music contains patterns that mean other things. Sometimes music isn't representational, but for the most part when it's paired with visuals like in drum corps, it means more than meets the eye. Here's a quiz: What does the color red mean? What does it represent? In biology? In religion? In politics? What does angular motion mean? What does it represent? In dance? In science? What does flowing motion mean? What does it represent? In sex? In bodies of water? What does the ground represent in literature and the arts? Answer these honestly. This is a good test. See if you can do it. One of my friends is an accountant and can't do it. Other than a few postings you have no data whatsoever about me as a person; yet you just attempted a psychoanalytical study on my perception? Then you immediately followed that up with questions that indicate I must have some sort deficiency of knowledge and/or intelligence? Thank You; and I am not being sarcastic!!! Because in doing so you have just reinforced my trepidations about what is actually blighting the inner workings of DCI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the way you write within your posts it comes across that you really enjoy smoking your own cigar.Honestly, it's not worth it. After I didn't get any responses to some legitimate points I raised with some questions challenging their viewpoints I knew they were not interested in actually discussing and debating things unless it fits the narrative. You're feeding the fire IMO. You either agree, or they're just going to dance around any challenge to their viewpoint. There are many ways to design, enjoy, and participate in drum corps. Some are simple, some are complex. But if in this discussion the only opinions taken seriously are the ones that match their own, I won't be a part of that. I suggest you do the same. I'm sure you see right now you are not gonna get anywhere else with this poster. Edited May 27, 2016 by DrumManTx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you dream at all after the accident? Have you ever seen a play? Have you ever traveled? When you ride on a boat do you look at the controls or the horizon? What's your favorite Italian Renaissance artist? Have you a flower species named after you? What's the farthest you've ever shot Coca Cola out of your nose?

lindap Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Post #47 inspired me to post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZPLtZQlLqg I was one of the town gossips in our high school rendition of Music Man. I was a character actress from grade 7 to grade 13 and during 2 years University explored set design, costume, makeup, lighting, dance all during drum corps years. I sort of understand the point of OP Channel3 but lighten up C3. Drama isn't always dramatic. Set the stage, introduce the concept, provide context and let the 12 minutes flow is all I know. It's different than a 2 hour stage play let alone a 6 minute guard show in a gym. It's all about music on a field, that huge stage with many audience viewing and listening angles. edit: flashback moment. I arranged the loan of our drum corps uniforms during the 76 trombones feature of our high school musical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FQUvZwsGIY Edited May 27, 2016 by lindap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
