There are very few moments that I can think of where I was like "ughhhhhh..." Now HS Bands are WAY over using it, that much is certain. Coming from a person that regularly attends high school band shows, I can go on and on about how poorly mixed/designed some high school band shows are. I’m super progressive when it comes to the performing arts, but a malfunctioning generator is the best thing that could happen to some of these bands. I mean, talk about random sounds for the sake of random sounds? Sheesh! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard that somewhere. yes. and when we get closer and we see the exact scoring system used, i can break it down for you in a granular fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, can you tell us what happens when the judging panel expands? Are averages involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are averages involved? oh yes. i can break it all down. and whoever scores highest ( once any penalties are subtracted) will win. it never fails, even if Chumley is on the panel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most general audience members would be shocked (and disappointed) if they knew how much artificial enhancement of the brass book many corps pump through their speakers. Much of this is driven by the corps trying to overcome the acoustical nightmare that is the enclosed stadium. Drum Corps has its highest level of brass performers in the history of the activity. Find a venue that lets them perform without all the electronic smoke and mirrors. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Rumor has it brass lines will only play 3 minutes of actual music. The pit and field battery will take 5, and the other 4 minutes will go to samples, voices, and small marching analog synthesizers. The later take the place of marching bells from the 70s and 80s and will be primarily used for EDM or Urban Hip-Hop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
