Spatzzz Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just now, HolyNOLA said: At least we marched at played at the same time. *gasp* As do the performers today. In fact most do just as much with more difficult music and added body responsibilities. Don't get me wrong I love drum corps from all eras but reality is just reality. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSnareDrummer Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I gotta tell ya, marching up and down that 50 yard line was murder. And the 4 count turns, my gosh! Today's corps with their moves and athleticism simply amazes me. If we had 10% of the creativeness and innovation of today's corps in the 70s, we'd been iconic. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you have to go a few years back. You act like that is the hardest thing that someone could do. I've seen videos of HS marching bands doing this. In fact there was a HS from TX that basically had the same drill and musical responsibilities of an old Cadets show (I believe Sacktig did their drill). Anyway, if HS kids ranging from 13-17 on way less rehearsal time can do it well......I don't see why you want to argue so badly both era's and styles have value and they are both great. I just have the opinion that today's product requires more physical, musical and mental demand. https://youtu.be/K-BtdVMQuDc 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
