ironlips Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) As jwillis35 said (above): "The thing to consider when it comes to drill writing is that everyone was influenced by everyone else. The ideas are fluid and each new germ of an idea tends to lead others to try things." Absolutely spot-on observation.

ComicJeff2012 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) All of the above, but I would also include Greg Poklacki. Iโm surprised he hasnโt yet been mentioned. He wrote some stunning and organic drill for the Cavaliers in the mid 90s, including for their amazing 1995 championship show. His DNA helix and 3-D rotating planets at the end of the show are legendary effects! Edited May 16, 2022 by ComicJeff2012 Grammar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure i am missing names, but those are the ones that stand out to me. I was going to say almost the exact same thing. Those of us who have watched live drum corps for decades have seen quite an evolution. ย 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
