acolli17 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) I'm curious what changes people would like to see happen to the Drum Corps activity, however I have a caveat - only comment with things that you would like to see changed that's not going back to older traditions. We all know the ideas of going back to standard uniforms, no mics, G bugles, no voiceovers/electronics, etc. What would you like to see in the activity that's never been done before? And playing Abb or Fx bugles doesn't count. Edited June 4, 2019 by acolli17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second one would definitely create a new dynamic for show design, and I think it's a good step without going all the way to "fan favorite." I absolutely agree, it'd be interesting having an assessment from an outside individual or group of individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I can't say that I'd be too thrilled with an American Idol style adjudication system. Give me corps professionals, not Paula Abdul. On the other hand, that may be something DCI would consider at some point unless Stu's #1 comes along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
