ilon Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I do not believe what people on this site post. We all have opinions. We all have individual truths. Do not tell me that mine is wrong. It is mine. THEREFORE... The ship has been going down for a while. We bail enough water out to have occasional good years. I consider myself to be young in the drum corps activity (my first show was in 1985 - DCI MIDWEST - Eastern Michigan University) My first finals was Madison '87. With the way that I think those years (~85-89, 90?) were so incredible compared to what is being put out now, and what is being done to the activity, this is my understanding... TAKE YOUR STUPID CRAP AND MAKE A BAND CIRCUIT. YOUR GOING TO HAVE STRING PLAYERS ON REMOTE CONTROLLED MOBILE DRILL PLATFORMS SOON ENOUGH. I WILL CREATE A WONDERFUL WARMING BLAZE WITH YOUR CLARINETS AND CELLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WILL CREATE A WONDERFUL WARMING BLAZE WITH YOUR CLARINETS AND CELLI. Okay, I'm going to call you out here. Your opinion may not be wrong, but your approach could use a little work. We havn't seen woodwinds, strings or some of the other "stupid crap" passed that you refer to yet. I, too, feel there are certain things that are less than pleasing to me personally about the idiom...but posts like this don't do that differing mindset any favors. Every criticism most be couched in a solution in order for it to be taken with some measure of seriousness. So, where and how do we proceed in your eyes in order to to make the activity what it once was to you? Be specific, and let's generate some discussion.

TommySopranoContra Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) Bawker is always right. Edit and if he's wrong the being right sucks big time. Edited August 20, 2005 by TommySopranoContra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilon Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Go as far back as needed. No pit. No valves. I don't care. Just not what it is now. I do believe that the amps thing will pass - it is just like the gigantic props craze of the mid-90's. That was dumb also. Remember - this is my opinion. Thank you for telling me that my opinion is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilon Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Oh, by the way my solution to the woodwinds, amps, narration problem IS TO NOT DO IT. Simple enough. Oh your differing mindset bit - war Malcolm X. I am playing with you a bit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
