cube Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The big line in the middle is sloped? Do they march on it? That sounds real dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if stage is wet or dry. I'm actually surprised dci is allowing this. A kids health or corps show/season could be hurt in just a split second. It has railings on it, except for the part that slopes down. I'm sure it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The activity has also continuously evolved, adapting to the times. If hadn't, it may very well have had trouble attracting members. That's not something any of us can quantify though. What I can go by is conversations I've had with students and current MMs. Anecdotal or not, I've gotten the impression a good number of them like the direction the activity is heading in. I'll just tell you straight up, I think it's going to morph DCI forever. It won't be the same. At least we had a few good years of quality brass with no distractions coinciding with quality video and audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always been particular about where the corps could warm-up. By "secured the warm-up section", what do you mean exactly? Finals week has a boundary of inside Military Park, 5 blocks away. The Indy Premier, they usually let groups establish their own session within the South parking lot. Some groups have been known to take a walk and use nearby side-lots too. Pretty casual. Like this: This year, they put lines inside of the area with a squared metal fence and required a credential to get inside. Fans had to watch from other side of the fence. Cadets, Crossmen, Bluecoats all did their warmups in the section. Everyone in this video is corps or DCI staff or press credential.

I'm thinking more of chain reaction down the Ramps. If there's one fall.... Not just in performance but the hours of rehearsals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of my favorite moments of the night Ed Mann told me Frank knew about BD playing Enchinda's Arf. He loved it. (Frank did a little drum corps) Ed wants to write for DC and I want to help make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to the white down the middle, from my one watch of it, it looks like steps. The black on either side is sloped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
