The only way a thread can be shut down is for persistent guideline violations (that I have been warning about) or the OP making the request. We don't close them because the topic may be "finished", so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Well have an on topic question about AI. And I don’t mean artificial intelligence or Allan Iverson.... What was in the proposal that is different from currently? Was it that other instruments can be used on the field and not confined to the pit? Saw some guesses in posts but no clear answer.

I did not see any limit in the actual proposal. In the interview, Kathy Black stated that at this time the expectation would be that WW would be used in the pit as solo or small ensemble features. I guess that was the consensus of the task force that did the work that led to the proposal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, neither woodwinds nor strings are allowed in any musical capacity, whether on the field or in the pit. String instruments that have been featured during the past few years have only been allowed because they're classified as electronics, ie they are electric violins, electric guitars, etc (or they were prop instruments "played" by actors, with their "music" being produced by a synth). The proposal, as written, would have allowed for any instrument to be used in any capacity, both on the field and in the pit, as a section or as a solo. So corps A could have changed nothing, corps B could have featured a woodwind soloist in the pit, and corps C could have fielded a full woodwind/strings line for the whole show in the drill, and those would have all been legal.
