Corps 2 has the same clever staff, but no volunteers capable of constructing fancy props and insufficient excess budget to hire that job out to qualified professionals. No disadvantage there? I had alot more typed but just deleted it all. Best way to say it is what Jeff ream said....all true Edited September 5, 2021 by GUARDLING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he makes movies that he’d want to watch. I believe that’s why he’s been so successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend in the movie business that was a drum corps person always says, A good "show" should make you laugh, cry, and think .... (then I always added) and took you away from your own personal world/reality for a short time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I type to much thinking I'm getting somewhere...lol...Bad me...lol...thanks DUDE!...lol i taught a band known for props etc and of course everyone assumed we were the Star of marching band financially. Nope....donated stuff, awesome parents and a great design staff with years of experience and success across all branches of the activity...and we did really well. and years we didn't have a lot out there were just as good. there was once show...94...where everyone was all in arms about the props. What they don't realize is it was the music captions that won us the show, not the props 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answered my question. but yet you're most likely reading way more into it that what i actually typed. the key words are actually what you do, not what you have. BD 11 had all that crap out there to where it looked like Home Extreme Makeover or whatever it was. they didn't win. Crown the space show with all that junk...didn't win. Bloo 15, 17, 18...all that stuff, didn't win. Cadets 16-17 and 19 anyone? Mandarins huge prop? just having it does not guarantee success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
