skevinp Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Actually there was a corps who used a full field tarp last year. Unfortunately, it looked exactly like a football field so no one noticed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to compete against them in High School after they bumped up to ISSMA Class A when school enrollment grew. They tried for years to catch Ben Davis (who was the unbeatable back then) with all sorts of props, tarps, mylar, etc. The year they finally caught them was the year they went stripped down straight up marching band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandguy78 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I think I recall Plymouth Canton doing something similar with a Yellow tarp in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Never know, we might see one of these soon. Most of the time a corps rolls out a tarp I cringe. The only effective tarp I have seen was Blue Devils' use of the wave effect in 2016. There may be one or two more examples that I am forgetting about. Mostly I find tarps lacking in anything, visual or GE. So I guess if you really want it to be effective you cover the whole field or a large portion of it. I've seen Crossmen use them over the years, Troopers last year, and I just find nothing appealing about them. To me, what Crown did with the banner that flew over the corps in the 2015 show, or their use of the see-through-silk that they used over the brass, is way more effective for visual and GE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I hope not. Everyone doing the same thing = zero creativity. I sure hope that credit isn't given for having a tarp either, but I should probably put down the pipe in that wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC's wonderful baritone soloist certainly helped the effect. Edited October 21, 2017 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
