And their wardrober has already said they will be wearing that color this season in a way. But I like your idea and expand it to all miked performers must at least be doing a mark time to move the treadmill to power the generators which might be a cool name for the newest drum corps of this century's decade.

I said Professional, Highly Qualified eyes and ears from outside in order to counter the perpetual inbread cycle; where the elite snobery thinking has been that only drum corps trained/experienced were/are considered worthy. And as for your New Faces are in with drum corps, I am reminded of the lyrics penned by The Who: "Meet the new boss; same as the old boss." and i want them trained on the system current DCI judges use. otherwise a corps season could rise on someone with NO knowledge of drum corps. the new faces...not hardly. otherwise Boston in 5th doesnt win guard. And there's been some other surprises the last few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no horse in the race, my corps has been dead for almost 20 years. Do you want some name who has no idea what they're doing walking into your job and judging you? That's essentially what is being asked for here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, since: a. no one said they would NOT be trained b. if they are music/arts professionals, they must already have SOME idea what they are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSnareDrummer Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 There's plenty of baseball "experts" out there famous or not, but I don't know how many of them I'd want to see umpiring an MLB game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But instead of resopnding to the actual facts within my idea what you did was mis-characteroze, mis-state, mis-quote, mis-represent, and outright type falsehoods about my idea. 'That' is what sparked my bs response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
