quietcity Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Cool idea, though a totally white field makes interval and form errors pop out like neon. Solution? Use totally white uniforms too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Wow. There was a smaller band on at the Indy super-regional who did a partial field tarp with backdrops to reduce the performance area. It was a very WGI patterned thing but effective in making them seem larger. Avon on the field now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ediker Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm surprised no one has done it previously, in drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Would it be legal in DCI? At least a few years back there was a DCI ban on tarps if the field was grass. Unaware if that is still in effect. And I concur. O forbid GH would give us a larger than life size Oprah or even a picture of himself.

Ghost Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I'd be careful doing it. Wouldn't put it past current or past MIT students burying some device in the middle of the field to rise up during a corps performance with a large tarp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSt73eg0GXk Edited October 21, 2017 by Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
