KeithHall Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Big Anniversary and would like to see corps go Throwback for that year! Play music corps played back then and wear old style uni's. Just for that year! No amps, no mic's and no dancing just Marching, Brass, and Percussion! It's a wish! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an interesting year KH, but most corps celebrating an anniversary don't do an old style show. This idea might have to be voted in by the directors next January. Any corps finishing 2nd and lower could probably kiss a higher placement goodbye if they did this next year on their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been dancing in drum corps for DECADES. When people say stuff like that it makes me wonder if they have in fact ever even seen a drum corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersop Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I've heard talk about 2022 proposals. There are loads of suggestions out there that the committees will be exploring. Stuff I liked: Pistol start Pistol stop at about 10 minutes and judging stops ... then all heck can break loose for another 90 seconds. 1 throwback piece of music I'm down with the traditional uniform 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially color guards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back cadets, English riding boots, and knee length skirts on the color guard for a year. ........and cleanly caught rifle tosses. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without spending some enjoyable time watching several of the older shows (thanks Brian Smith), I don't think many of the guards tossed 7's. Never mind what else the guard mm are also doing while tossing currently. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was paying attention triples were about it, but they all came down at the exact same second like a clean snare line - CLICK. Guards today throw way higher, but the catches are not very clean in my opinion. I’d rather see a perfectly executed triple than a sloppy 7 and perfectly executed ballerina move. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
