And I don't think the kids using this word to describe my cousin with downs syndrome were confusing him with a car, lol Sure they can, any thing can be made offensive. That's the problem. But by definition, it means what it means and is only as powerful as you make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even hear pre teens use those words. it's not over yet. posted from the DrumScorps app I never got the gripe with the word ret*rded. It literally means slow. Very common in the automotive and tech industry. it doesn't work for people though. I'm aware of it because I worked with people with developmental disabilities through college, and saw first hand how it has a negative effect on those people when they called that. regarding the drumcorps related post here, I'm inclined to agree with much of what you're saying. it is however not going to change, but I still get frustrated by what is rewarded from year to year, then not rewarded other years, going back to some criteria that serves to discourage specific styles and shows. posted from the DrumScorps app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really admire Knights' use of dynamics and control, but I think when considering the technical books, Cavies have them beat. I can definitely concede that the Cadets may have a better hornline though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it fits the show's mood quite well! they have a good guard - that's driving everything in DCI. You can put the corps in order of the guards most seasons. So that would likely put BD>SCV>Cavaliers>Coats as the top 4. Crown will stay ahead of Boston/Cadets only due to their great brass and strong percussion. Their GE scores will drop during finals week due to the guard IMO. Seen it happen many times. Could be, which is way overboard, but this is what happens when guard be people rule the roost. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Tuma Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 22 minutes ago, Cappybara said: Quite interesting how the uh... more traditional crowd so readily uses the phrase "ADHD" like it's nothing. Reminds me of when people used to use the word "ret*rded" (huh didn't know DCP censored that) or "gay" as adjectives pretty often But I digress. I agree it is quite a bit of sensory stimulation, but that's what makes it so much fun and impressive My Way is going over so many heads. The take away for me is that it's supposed to be jarring and a bit satirical. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
