Mookielove Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 20 minutes ago, MikeD said: Completely disagree. Judging standards are decided with both judges and corps during the meetings. Judges don't just decide all by themselves what and how to evaluate their captions. If you listened to the interview Dennis Delucia had this evening with the three people, you saw exactly what I was saying is true. Hardy naive. Miccing was added to improve the sound, first of the pit, then soloists and now more of the brass. The sound engineer who works with Bloo gave a very good explanation of how they are using amplification for sound reinforcement. Wayne Dillon spoke about field brass judging and how they are judging the individual performance of the performers. Both of them were saying things I have said here. I hope that interview gets posted somewhere. Some commenters on this thread would benefit from watching it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very curious to know. I saw a production of Tan Dun's opera "Tea, a Vision of Soul" performed by the Philly opera company, conducted by the composer. Just about everything was micced and adjusted for sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilt was beloved....yet a lot of what people are #####ing about in this thread was being utilized then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 7 hours ago, jjeffeory said: I disagree with Jeff (Ream). The demands for a certain type of show are irrelevant (to participation). I assert that today's student will perform most anything they're given, and happily if they are successful... This is just the same as it always has been. The students are inclined to like and be drawn to what they're taught and familiar with, and generally think similarly to their teachers. The biggest difference in interest today compared to "older" styles is the awareness of DCI in the schools, and the population boom we've had... All my opinion of course, but we see more and more participation in the marching arts at the high school level all over the country despite many of these schools not having DCI style shows. feel free to disagree. you're wrong, but it's your right to be. I know kids out here right now, and they love whats happening now far more than they do stuff even 5 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just happy to be able to participate and learn and the style doesn't matter. See I can do that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the kids today love drum corps more today than the kids five years ago loved drum corps then? Who loves "Beneath the Surface" more than "Inferno" and "Relentless"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
