Sizzlin' in HOTlanta (DCI Southeast, Atlanta - July 30th)


Recommended Posts

Yeah, no. No one plays entire songs because it's too hard?

The corps of the '60s and '70s did nothing BUT play entire songs. The fact that few corps program their shows that way any more isn't because it's easier.

In the 70's at least, you didn't always hear a full song either. Often it was just a refrain or chorus. The reason has more to do with timing. When you have only ten minutes or if you go back in the day 11 1/2 to 13 minutes, one complete song could be about a third of the show.

All the arguing over scores is pointless to me anymore.

You can't put a number on any of the enjoyment for me.

8

(the # of slices in a large pizza)

(literally no way to rebut this)

The Bandtastic thing is nice. But these kids can't memorize 30 seconds of music? Wow

What's wrong with that? I would rather have three songs fully realized than 9 chop and bop songs.
