Dude....the "use the bread as a utensil on the corn" has been around for a VERY long time. I mean...maybe it's because I grew up in Indiana, but I don't even recall that from a movie because something like that wouldn't stand out. 😉 Similarly the open can on the fire makes total sense. I mean, have you never been camping with canned beans? Twist a coat hanger into a can holder and prop that baby up over the fire. Warm beans > cold beans. It's the label catching fire in the house that worries me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutasaurus Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 My interest is piqued! Can’t wait to see the changes. I noticed some tweaking to the Rach2 at the LaCrosse show. It’s shaping up to be a real heart tugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ok but one of his neighbors is happy to use both of his hands to count off all 9 reasons he feels fireworks are perfectly safe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ballads — for example — by most corps, most years, for many decades, have completely ignored the battery. To the point about what the hornline is doing during percussion breaks: Ever notice what most drumlines are doing during most ballads, brass features, etc? When you watch any run of the mill lot video, it’s remarkable how little playing time, comparatively, the battery gets. The trade-off might be an extra drum feature or so, but that doesn’t mean brass isn’t still the predominant musical focus of DCI. Featuring drum lines more does not = featuring brass lines less. I'll add, that the PIT is the biggest beneficiary of all of this. There's tacet time for the battery percussion, and now the pit has taken lots of musical focus away from the brass, which allows them to do other things mentioned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
