Orwellian Wiress Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I love when drum corps do little things like that for their fans. Good thing I wasn't there, I would probably have bowled over a few people to catch it😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_S Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 5 hours ago, MarimbaManiac said: There is a difference between secondary or ancillary motives for expression being for utility, and primary motives being utility. I clearly made that distinction in my previous reply, which you seem to be trying to distort into an argument I didn't make to make it easier for you to attack. Most musical expression has some sort of utility (screen scoring being a clear example), however when the primary motive is something other than expression (competition, money, advertisement), it ceases being art, and becomes something else (be it commerce, or competition, or whatever). You stating that this has never been true, does not make it this way. ...and yes, I am an artist thank you. Not for my comments here, but by virtue of being a professional composer with a PhD in music composition and theory. Motivation, venue, and medium matter. It's silly to pretend they don't, and nothing that happens on the field at DCI, or BOA, or WGI, or any other venue where the primary driver is competition, is art. Sorry bout it. Just last year we had a DCI season without any scoring. Corps still designed and rehearsed shows, and performed them for appreciative fans, who in turn felt an emotional response. Competition is a motive in this activity, to be sure. But the flaw in your position is the premise that competition is the primary motive, or even a necessary one. My favorite Bluecoats show is 2015, not the show next year when they won a championship. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
