But you other guys always pin up the wrong side of the hat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call we Illinoisans flatlanders. The rest of the Midwest is not all that flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why all the hats weren't pinned like the contras was never explained satisfactorily. We were always laughing when the rookies wanted the contras to use the other shoulder.

How else can my fans post all those great photos and selfies of me if they can't see my beauuuuuutiful face? My brand, not the corps' brand. Besides that's how we do it indoors in WGI I will say indoors is a lot different in that the audience is much closer to the action. When I am sitting outside halfway up the stands on the 50, I cannot see the corps members expressions. The head gear just looks better for summer, but like I posted earlier, if this is a change that is permanent I will just have to adjust.

JAZZER Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Agree jmc5682! When I attend most large ensemble performances, be it wind band, mixed choirs, jazz bands, marching bands, drum corps [yes-I distinguish these genres] orchestras; I am either in one of two observation placements: 1) Close enough to view performers and their expressions, and most times they're not "delivering" performance emotion 2) Far enough away to not consider/value the delivery of facial emotion/expressions. SO, I focus on the performance categories most important to me, music ensemble being foremost. Visual in the marching arts next, and absence of headgear certainly diminishes my reading-and corresponding appreciation of the visual ensemble's performance FWIW.
