If you knew nothing about the activity, and heard the term Drum Corps,you would most likely conclude it pertained to drums,only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no guarantee of survival. But unless the activity adapts, it cannot survive. I know it is popular among change proponents to go full Darwin and insist our survival is at stake, but... 1. What will we not survive? Are marching bands predators that will eat drum corps alive with their reedy teeth? 2. What is "creative evolution"? That sounds way different from Darwinistic evolution. 3. If you get your way and we make this last change, what then? With nothing left to change, how will we evolve/adapt/survive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crownisking Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 People have been predicting this day for at least the last decade so not sure what all the fuss is about. No point in delaying the inevitable as far as I’m concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I certainly wouldn’t be picturing MMs wearing unitards, twisting about all out of context while playing, and making funny faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then, if SCV wants to redo Force of Nature in a few years they better start training woodland birds to chirp on cue from the sideline for the opening. Or would bird calls count as instrumentation? Would the birds count as marching members? So many questions. They could use a water whistle (I know they were used for just such effect BITD) 😎: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
