Terri Schehr Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 17 hours ago, BrassTeacher said: Yes folks, if you know who Mr. Kimber is, you would not be so quick to dismiss his opinion and observation on the sound of drumcorps coming through some of the sound systems currently in use. If I remember correctly, he came up with a special way to wind cables to shield them from almost any induced noise around them, allowing for much clearer recording and playback. Electronic sound is the man's business. https://www.kimber.com I didn’t know that. Thanks. I hope he reconsiders. He is definitely someone worth keeping around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. And I consider Mr. Kimber no more or less worth keeping around than any other fan. With an activity as much a niche as drum corps, the activity is paying attention to all fans even as not all opinions will be honored with expected action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even get to the bottom of page 1, and the amount of snark and bloviating and "i'm better than you are" in the rest of THAT PAGE.......and no wonder people get the perception of DCP they do.

That's when it all started going south. no, no, no, it was the #### marching bells. maybe even when women were allowed to join.

If he wants someone to hear, this is the place. Period. His message will be buried and lost anywhere else. Or, perhaps you'd prefer he just go away quietly? I know this.....when i do my next Drum Corps Af column "d###### posts from DCP", this thread gets mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That opened the Broadway floodgates. tics were still around when the 1976 Bayonne Bridgemen broke all the established military rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 i think this board would be awesome if everybody ending their dci fandom announced it in a separate thread. especially between september and may when discussion revolves around "will XXX corps actually f'ing announce anything relevant about their shows?"

And they got it. look....the drama...eh. but i'm sad to see any fan leave. See, in my line of work, retention is just as important as getting new customers. Will drum corps ever please everyone all the time? Hello no, it doesn't even please me all the time. But there's no reason for all of the posts being ######## to the poster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
