ExPitster Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Sorry if I missed this, but I didn't see anything in DCI's recap about this proposal...was it not even voted on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 My understanding is that it was withdrawn during caucuses, when it became clear that the sound guys would just find work-arounds that might make the situation even more imbalanced than it is.

Jeff Ream Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 and you can't enforce hat stuff from the field as a chief judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruckner8 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 It’s easy enough to judge if players are marching around with mics attaches to their bells. It’s also easy enough to ban certain types of field level mics that are designed to pickup sound from sources further away. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drangin Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Louder and louder. OSHA will shut this #### down. Sound crews practice for Lucas Oil Field all summer and don't care how overpoweringly loud and crappy the sound gear sounds at high school football stadiums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to amplify the full ensemble and shotgun mics are pretty easy to see! This sounds like someone's shoveling some very deep manure! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're at it (and this argument has been made by several on here), during the show, an "of marching age" member should be the one running the field board... Also an advocate of disallowing shotgun mics and large-scale individual micing (no, don't have a top limit in mind)... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
