Its the instruction techinques that will evolve. Given fan reactions to the shows, maybe DCI should consider modifying "the sheets" . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmurrey74 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I definitely think it's more off the field changes. Shorter season, less in-person winter camps, more hotel usage as schools will still be a big challenge. Some corps are completely outsourcing their food service this year and maybe that additional expense outweighs the headaches of running a food truck, volunteers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone can design fan friendly shows with the current guidelines in place. If 2020 happened, I believe both Boston and Bluecoats would be extremely competitive and be no different that what they performed this year minus maybe Boston's overall number of guard. It seems like the general consensus is that both shows have been very well received and two very different styles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Lancer Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I think we may also see more of a regional touring model in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that will happen. As far as fan reaction goes, the biggest positive fan reaction I have seen so far is for the Bluecoats with a thoroughly modern design.

Granted it was their home show, but from where I was sitting in Allentown, the biggest positive fan reaction was for The Cadets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the 2019 recaps, 40% of the final score is the GE and analysis of visual and color guard. If you don't think a decent part of that is what they're wearing, you aren't living in the real world. Do you think Hamilton would have been as well received if they had been wearing ballerina tutus?

And Akron was Bluecoats home show to be fair. However, Marion is pretty much a neutral field, and PR got a good response, Blue Stars a better response and Bluecoats the best.

Oh, I get what they are judging and it's not based on content and performance. Visual can mean many things now. When "things" are generating score, we have a huge problem in a competitive activity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
