Drum Corps Is Now a Bust Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 6 minutes ago, Terri Schehr said: The Mandarins director was particularly offensive. Basically called people too stupid to understand. I was sitting here saying oh #### off. He just said in honesty what most of the top drum corps instructors and designers think but don't say outloud. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27Socal Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Can't hear the woodwinds, unless you mic them. Those instruments were designed for small indoor venues. They are a waste of time in a huge football stadium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've followed your posts here and I'm pretty sure they weren't talking about you two. I could, however, tell you who they were talking to. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not between the 9th and 10th ranked corps. I agree. Calgary is wonderful. Nice band with a good sound and you can tell that many of the kids take lessons. This would have been good before the competition. I am glad to hear they are doing sound sport tomorrow. Their competitive field show was pretty good, and I think DCI did them a favor to let them compete this year in hopes to get more Canadian groups to take part in Sound Sport or DCI competition if they decide to go all brass. The kids seem well behaved and classy. But this should have been before semifinals and not between two hotly contested shows. Oh well. But Bravo to Calgary for coming down and joining in the festivities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If woodwinds ever are legalized for DCI, I imagine they will be small-ish ensembles on stages near the FE with micorphones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
