MikeN Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My corps does not have someone that can do backflips. Ergo, we will likely not do backflips this year. So no, I don't really see it as that big of a deal. Mike 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I would like to see some marching demand rather than climbing to ever higher props to stand still and play runs. It's been so long since I have been impressed by drill move/playing..possibly Crown out of this world where they are playing 32nd note runs AND marching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 3 hours ago, Stu said: The quest for high score on GE, the competitive aspect, seems to be driving the bus which is creating situations of perceived dangers of things like 3-D staging and acrobatics on stages. What the discussion also entails is a question concerning if a corps fails to utilize modern progressive design, instrumentation, etc, will they score just as well. That is also relevant to how much of a push will continue in moving into more percieved dangerous activity. The poster was correct. We (including me for responding) have gone far away from the intent of the OP in the thread. It is OK to wander a bit, but we do need to bring it back to dangerous designs, not G/Bb and other irrelevant topics. You can start a new thread if you want. Feel free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, as a moderator, you can parse an ongoing tangential conversation into a separate thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best we could do last year was have them dance while playing a Mahler / Kendrick Lamar mashup. (No joke - it's amazing how well some things go together.)

Mike They can post on their website and FB that they're looking for a backflip expert and offer significant tuition breaks/Scholarships as other corps have done when they need similar kinds of things. I'm sure when they find one the staff will be turning them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
