Back in 2014, when trombones were so magically fast-tracked for immediate and overwhelming approval, I said to myself that at this rate, activity leaders could only find enough other distractions to amuse themselves for six more years, and we would therefore have woodwinds in 2020. Of course, that was predicated on he-who-shall-not-be-named leading the campaign. Nevertheless, I have heard a crazy, uncorroborated rumor that woodwinds are already in the works, and somehow to be allowed in 2020 without the usual one-year advance notice that a major instrumentation change would require. But if that rumor were true, someone would have corroborated it by now. Wow! I guess we’ll find out soon enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too heard the woodwind rumor in Indy, but it was a bit nuanced: all instruments, including woodwinds and strings could be featured in the front ensemble. The response ranged from they’ve been saying that for years and it hasn’t happened to it’s going to happen sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who let them in and gave them all this decision making power the first place? They have their own activity and we have our ours. If they want to join us, great, welcome - but don’t try and make us you. You adapt and change your style to us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You adapt and change your style to us! it's those instrument mfgrs. or what DCI terms "sponsoring organizations" they acknowledge at Finals every year: I think the movies refer to them as "deep government."
