Would we get a bunch of different shows? The last time this thought was discussed, it pretty much was given a thumbs down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's ho hum after several years, but is that move any different than dozens of other moves that corps do each year? It has to be tough as a designer to try and create new drill and mm moves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the late 70's they had the guard pick up and play horns, so there was basically no guard for that part of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Eliminate any and all rules limiting instrumentation that can be used. Brass, Percussion, Woodwinds, Strings, etc...any and all to be permitted. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'd be all for a season where every corps had to give up one element. Like no tubas, or not trumpets, or no snares, or no tenors, or no rifles, or no flags, or so forth and so on. Each corps could pick the one item they'd do without from a list. (The other day I heard Brahms's second serenade on the radio. The announcer said it was one of Bernstein's favorite pieces. It omits violins. The idea inspired me.)

bones Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 1) Mandatory mello sustains in the last 30 seconds of every show. 2) Eliminate “electronic goo”. 3) Require staffs to do more background tv/video interviews on the show design, intent, inspiration and some inside baseball anecdotes about the show’s creation. Ref. Dan Potter’s Field Pass interview with Dean Westman re: Tilt. Great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
