One n Done Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 More groups are JUST NOW beginning to get the electronic and amplification game right. Let’s stick with the adults running that aspect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyWonder1911 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) I disagree. I'm not a huge fan of electronic usage, but as long as they're doing it, it's best to keep those spots available for musicians. It's not "sound engineer corps". And because of the dangerous nature of electrical currents, it should be a rule that only trained adult non marchers can be involved in the assembly and disassembly of electronic equipment.

I could be just thinking that would be a good idea and projecting it into reality though.... My kids say that I do that frequently.... :) Interns, yes. MM? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t they be under 21? Especially since sound is such a big part of the show. No. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skevinp Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 This doesn't seem like a sound policy decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a dumb way to spend a summer imo. Much better than paying half a tour fee to run the dr. beat at Crown though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better question imo is how to get students more involved in this process for their educational benefits (or how ever DCI describes it for everyone else).

Also widens the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots”. But the “haves” will never give this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I'd rather have the adults running this one. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
