(I think those are two different color apples, please substitute if not.) I'm just not sure that the sound will change much if at all. Been a while since I moonlighted slinging produce at the local supermarket but like the comparison. As for sound anything not horn or percussion is distracting to my enjoyment. Would be like going to a multiplex movie and hearing the sound from the next movie while trying to listen to the movie you’re watching.

What if opening up the instrumentation allows these types of corps to add 10, 20, 30 members to their rosters more easily on a yearly basis? That could and would keep these organizations alive and could grow the activity in the long run. And what proof do you have to support this theory? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color guard was just that, a military style color guard whose sole purpose was to display the US Flag and guard the colors. I guess what you did was real drum and bugle corps. But woodwinds were NEVER a part of drum and bugle corps then and shouldn’t be now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 So if corps go to woodwind sections how many more staff would be added? We have techs for the different horn voices, drums, electronics/amps, etc. So how many new techs would be needed? Yeah get those expenses down...

Yes. I guarantee it. Who else would pay for it? DCI? Where do they get their money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really calm down. It’s not the end of the world or anything. Acceptance is the key and moving on.

The individual organizations they represent paid for it all. It comes from a variety of sources including donors. I know because I too use to attend. Didn’t care where the money came from either as long as it wasn’t mine. Been there done that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
