Fran Haring Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 70 to 80 talented, well-trained brass players in a given top DCI corps. No need for sideline-microphone "volume enhancement." My opinion, at least. Worth less than two cents, adjusted for inflation. LOL 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(because 11 is a bigger number than 10 lol) Edited January 15, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, the earasers. I had steroid shots THRU my left ear drum because my ear canal felt closed up. Didn’t work and still have hearing loss in some frequencies. My NEW ear doc at Hershey Med/Penn State gave me a wtf look and asked why the shots. She checked and nothing looks wrong. She thinks I have something that it just feels swollen. Plus the hearing aid I got at the previous doctor is a POS and was never properly fitted. Getting to hate private practice docs and loving training hospitals (Hershey Med/Johns Hopkins) more and more Edited January 15, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like someone's shoveling some very deep manure! just because a mic is there doesn't mean its always on. 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)... when has dci ever gone back on a rule when changed? once when they took away the penalty for singing in the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Dixon Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I’m really tired of mic soloist- it’s like non stop on some of the programs now with ensemble playing at 6 min. It’s a snooze fest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a snooze fest sadly it's probably going to take threat of legal action for hearing loss to force change 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
