BlueStainGlass Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Literally nobody says they aren't part of the corps. They say they don't want synth when they have contras. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I helped pay the tour fees for a synth player one season so I guess this old boomer isn’t anti-synth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have a story. When I told a younger person who marched in the 2000’s that I paid some of this person’s fees, they said that they wished all they had to do when they marched was “push a button”. That’s why ageist characterizations are wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, a Billy Joel show that I designed put an active piano/synth in the marching area of the field as the feature. Shortly after synths were introduced to drum corps, we had "The Thundering Goo" emanate from said synths. Thankfully, most of that has been reduced.

It was deafening thunderous goo when they first started using them. Cavaliers were one of the worst offenders. It was so loud it hurt and I covered my ears. It’s much better now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSnareDrummer Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Everything in moderation. Trooper's electronic cello for example. Just enough impact without being a distraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
