KVG_DC Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Putting the pit and DM on the 40 then staging everyone on the opposite 40 with the 50 as ‘movement space’ works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At DCA prelims, he had a heart attack just before the push at the end of the opener. DM put Corps to parade rest & then they filed off. There was a cardiologist in the stands who was on-scene in less than a minute along with paramedics etc. They were able to get a pulse for a few minutes but were not able to save him. The stadium was silent. No one wanted to watch but no one could bring themselves to leave their seats. that the corps came back out to perform later was amazing and the crowds reaction was incredible. the run they were having when he went down would have gotten them In finals. But the emotion in the second run was one of the most passionate performances I’ve ever witnessed 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, I am in no way dismissing culpability of those who sexualize performers. My background is in mandated reporting as it interfaces with youth dance, so I'm keenly aware of how this plays out across the performing arts. It doesn't matter if the vast vast majority are over 18. If one young person is put in a costume that they don't feel comfortable in OR that the designer knowingly creates to be revealing it's a problem. It's also generally unnecessary in most of the cases I've seen it. I’m of the opinion that while these marchers are on the younger side, they are all adults paying an exorbitant amount of money to participate in a fully voluntary activity. If they take objection to a costume they have to wear, whether it be due to how tight it is against their body, or how much of their body it shows, they should simply choose to not participate. I understand the need for inclusion, but at the same time the uniforms that one wears while performing can really positively alter the psyche of the performer and get them more into character. If the majority are fine with or even happy with the costume they have to wear, why should they be subjected to the whims of the select few people who are not comfortable with it? I do agree that generally, revealing costumes are not necessary, but if it helps people get into character, then why not? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These men were old enough to be their grandfathers. And no amount of shaming them made it stop. Neanderthals. I remember the Kristi Spears comments 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
