Stop: Useless and non-value added body movements

Start: Moving while playing and playing more

Change: the idea that this is somehow the same as an off Broadway theatrical production

Wasn't that what we did with the G Bugles back in the 70s?

Stop: masking brass sound with A & E.  Let’s hear the brass lines themselves without electronic enhancement.  Mic ONLY soloists.

start: limiting the amount of props/prop items.  This will minimize prop assembly areas, prop trucks, prop crews being the horn lines.

change: static “staging” of brass, guard and percussion to being more on the move.  Designers have given in to reducing movement to enable “features” to the point where every production had multiple features. Well it feels like it.

Yep. This is a pretty good technical description. Even if you use a "concert" chanter (tuned closer to standard concert pitch), there are notes that don't quite match up.  That gives bagpipes its character or drives some folks quite mad.

  • STOP- Unnecessary body movement. Get a good movement person and visually interpret your music correctly. 
  • START- Judging the amount of time units play as a group. The amount of time your percussion  and brass play should matter.
  • CHANGE- There are to many non-judge-able elements in drum corps shows. ( singers, choirs,violins, guitars and all the electronic sounds that are produced ) The judging has to evolve at the same rate as the shows.
