Mello Dude Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Limit the amount of square footage (and height) you can use for props and pit equipment. Setups are getting out of control. Less is more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All corps are allowed to use synthesizers and pre-recorded samples which can (And has) produced all kinds of instruments including strings, woodwind.... Sounds can be produced as you described, but IMO opening up to any and all gives performers on those instruments the ability to join and march. Strings are already legal, but woodwinds are not, and IMO should be if a corps so chooses to use them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gak27 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Have SWriverstone consult with each corps regarding their show's musical bona fides? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This change will reduce the number of brass and percussion players and that to me is a catastrophic change to the unique sound that attract fans to drum corps. There are plenty of musical groups all over the country (Mainly marching bands) that members and fans can enjoy that feature the instrumentation mix you are proposing. In land of many choices why do people want to merge all the marching art activities in to one? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If singing is key to an arrangement, it should be done live, just like any other soloist. Yes! One of the truly cringe-worthy trends in shows is to have the brassline backing a recorded vocal. Yuck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
