Where is the diversity with these "options"? any-key brass (every DCI corps uses Bb/F) pit amplification (every corps amplifies marimbas) electronic instruments (every corps uses a synthesizer) solo amplification (every corps amplifies brass soloists) their choice.

I guess they consider it worth their trouble. so is Tournament of Bands. We even have a big banner hanging by where the corps come in. I can tell you how much we're making from it, and how much they are making from it. zero.point.zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can go a couple of yards onto the field, so they didn't seem to have any trouble navigating to be in front of whatever they wanted to see/hear. and in Mike's case a few times several yards out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
