g0at Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Now that singing, talking and drumspeak have become regular parts of drum corps shows that last couple of years, it got me to thinking about something. What would keep a drum corps from getting a famous singer to perform with their show? Someone like Charlotte Church or Ashlee Simpson or Aaron Carter(the only singers 21 and under I could think of at this time) , for example.I am not saying this is something I would want to happen, but the way the trends are going, and now getting national attention with the ESPN broadcast, what's to keep it from becoming a little more marketable? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just because 2 corps " Drumspeaked" this year( and coats wasnt really a drum speak, so just 1 corps, the cadets) doesn't mean its regular lol. However I don't think any corps could get anyone famous to tour with them aLL Summer. But , what is more propable, is announcing choir auditions for certain peices of music they will be selecting.

That would probably have as much of a turn out as the woodwind category in I&E this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancerlady Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 You should say..... Never mind - not worth the hassle! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm just calling it what everyone wants us to call it!

We're just not freaking out over it...for many, many reasons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure okay, I guess I forgot how many people told me to "get over it" and that that's what this is..etc...etc......and I'm not freaking out about it either, I just asked why market it as a band when it's supposed to be drum corps? Oops..off topic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Brady Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 By the same token, what would prevent a corps from hiring an extra-terrestial being from providing a self-generated light show via lights in its head, provided we can prove the ET is less than 22 years-old? Would that be fair to corps that don't have access to their own extra-terrestial beings? And what if one of their years is two of our years? Is there any rule in place that says the under-22 years rule has to be Earth years? I tell you, this sort of thing could destroy the spirit of drum corps as we know it. I say we must say "no" to ETs performing in drum corps...especially if they put on self-generated light shows. Are you with me? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Forgot to take your meds again, didn't you Mike?! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSun76 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I could see Mick Jagger and the Renegades or Carly Simon with Empire (they both look great for 60 year-olds ) Neil Young with Corps Vets? Probably not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I challenge you to name 10 people here who said they wanted it called band. :::crickets::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
