I don't know if there's anything specific data wise that would show trending but it's definitely interesting. The people who want to stay relevant manage to find a way to do just that. Even guys like Scott Johnson have adapted their arranging to fit into the times and that's been over what, nearly 4 decades probably? it's rarely those at the top of the game that are in the get off my lawn crowd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for some sadly no longer with us, I can’t believe they would dislike modern drum. People like my instructors drum guy George Tuthill, drill guy Bobby Hoffman, brass people like Don Angelica. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe call it "Get off my field! - An old person's guide to Drum Corps." I just know I just watched Bloo 2022 again and sweet baby James that show is sickengly good. I know my reactions would have definitely been R rated. I don't get how anyone can NOT appreciate modern drum corps. I'm willing to pay for your reaction video to my performance. 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I flippin' LOVED the Glassmen. But if we're talking about Bloo Alumni, I can tell you that it's a ton of my dorky ear to ear grinning that I don't do at work, lots of "wow" and "holy #### that's loud," and several other, more direct expletives that get you an R rating if you say them more than once in a movie. Now, if say Michael Cesario was bathing in chocolate up on top of the ramp during Great Gig In The Sky....I would find babies to throw! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the life of me I can’t understand why I would care about the reaction of some rando I don’t know and never met. Must be popular with those who spend their lives on their phones. I like to go outside. Some reaction videos are actually interesting and informative. Funliner is made up of 3 Bloo/BD alums who have a lot of insight. Everett Kim (the Asian guy) is also a score writer. So watching their reaction videos are great. This girl... If you enjoy watching a fresh set of eyes share his/her opinions/critique, this girl is for you. If not, don't watch them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 What would be really cool imo is seeing how other musicians and dancers from different worlds than marching band and drum corps would react and review in a round table fashion. Like different rock stars, orchestral musicians, producerrs, contemporary and classical dancers and the likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a modern take on having guest stars like Maynard Ferguson, Rita Moreno, and Chuck Mangione on the Championships broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
