It did and it was also a large, heavy one in the end zone that wasn't marched over frequently with high-velocity drill. They got on it twice, but it was during the "acting" phase, where they could pay close attention to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Both things happen in marching bands, even competitive marching bands, although not having a battery is more common than not having a pit.) Would this rule require you to have both, or if you only had one, would that judge's score be doubled? Or more realistically: would this rule require pits to get even larger than they currently are? Or could you get away with a smaller pit (as I think Bluecoats did this year?) and still be rewarded? ______________ Corps International ?!?!? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the first several years of its existence, Drum Corps International did get by without front ensembles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poorly designed idea of the Cesario brothers; the following season was the great App. Spring guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I would also suggest that votes on proposals or changes in rules be held every 5 years. This would allow time for more feedback from judges, design teams and fans. Some changes that we've seen in the last 20 years seem as if they were designed to give some corps an advantage over others. Seriously...... what's the hurry?

Might that have been caused by them being so narrow and lighter? The mm can easily move them a little if their shoes catch an outside edge.
