Or should it actually add something to the show? First Law of Performing Arts - if you have someone in the the group that can do a back flip, it MUST be put it into the performance. Don’t judge - I didn’t create the law, it’s a natural observation of the performing universe 😀. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't, the score should take a hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this " everything designed " belief, sounds like you prefer the costume themed designed unis and headgear over the same traditional unis / shakos to be worn each season then... For example. playing songs from the Musical " Hair ", ie 'Aquarius " in a military styled uniform like the Troopers have and a DM with a holster, etc would need to have " their score take a hit ", in your view. Would that be your thinking, Ghost ? Just asking, thats all. Edited April 29, 2019 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corps attire that is designed to more appropriately fit the chosen theme of that Corps for that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "wave of the future" is following WGI trends, those corps whose attire fits the theme should get a score boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or take a hit because said performance doesn't convey said theme. BUT what if it's supposed to be a marching unit conveying a theme and now doesn't appear to be said unit...score loss. OR the costumes/uniforms are just ugly and just convey bad taste BUT the show is supposed to be about bad taste....oh my.... :) Edited April 29, 2019 by Mello Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Costuming does not have its own caption on the current DCI sheets ( I believe that in the future, it likely will ) I suppose its indirectly found now on the current GE Visual caption, where the Corps attire can be awarded build up points there by the judge if they believe the costuming successfully added to the overall effect of the show's impressions upon that judge.

Interesting never is there a mention of conflicts of interests, certain persons making their livelihood off of units buying costuming, or that one's influence with sponsors is in direct proportion to the sponsors' products being bought. You know, the theory that goes "The activity is for the kids, right?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
