They're supposed to compliment drums and bugles (whatever the preferred term is), not dominate them in the mix. 10 bucks it's not the last time you'll say it, to our misfortune. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Tuma Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I suggest the op strap on a glockenspiel and march up and down his driveway if he’s pining away for the good old days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said or implied that. I have carried a full size tympani with cranks - in a parade - , so I think Pits are a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be like me asking you how many DCI finals you marched in and won to gauge the relevancy of your opinion. Just disagree with me. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just disagree with me. 😀 It's relevant to your biases and how in tune you are with the current generation who actually participate in DCI. None of the things you listed are what the younger generation want or care about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
