Jurassic Lancer Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) @Smug Trumpet Guy … your screen name … isn’t that redundant? (Pssst … I’m a trumpet guy, too.) Edited June 24, 2021 by Jurassic Lancer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it wrong to assume that this investment would be used multiple years moving forward? It's like a programmable digital backdrop. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, a screen would fail from time to time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what purpose this serves if you are trying to project your presence all the way to the press box, whereas the tall schacos and well defined uniforms served this function very well to make the marching members seem a hundred feet tall. because with the body elements of visual design, old uniforms hinder the movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential malfunctions aside, it just seems kinda lazy (from a design perspective) to have a digital screen that can be anything you want it to be. Maybe I’m overreacting. It might be really cool. Probably not something I’d want to see used in future shows though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not during any of their judged performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is DCI going to move from “you have to sit in the right place to hear the amps” to “you have to sit in the right place to see the screen”. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
