Orpheus Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 And if that happens, you never know ... a corps might enlist a solo dancer from Alvin Ailey or even a professional juggler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to catch Ashlee Simpsons upcoming summer tour, featuring her new backup band "THE CADETS" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, luckily for us, pre-recorded sound/vocals isn't allowed yet.

Michael Boo Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Well, Hopkins frequents this board, there's one... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay, I've got to offer a correction here. I was at the seminar in Orlando in January last year when this whole thing got started. George gave a PowerPoint presentation that included the "slide" that won't go away. It stated, "Drum corps is marching band." It was reported as such in Drum Corps World that way without properly attibuting the context in which it was presented. George was making the point that we need to always try to focus the public on what we are...our "brand identity," if you will. He then mentioned that to many people who didn't know any better, drum corps was marching band. That's when the slide appeared. George did not advocate that comparison. He was clearly just pointing out the perception and encouraging us to be aware of such when we tried to market ourselves to the public. And from that one article in Drum Corps World and at least a few misquoted e-mails sent out from the seminar, the "legend" got born that George really does believe drum corps and marching band is the same. If I knew you were misquoted in some capacity, I would also come to your defense. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glory Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'm just calling it what everyone wants us to call it! "BAND".Didn't someone say "a rose is a rose".. No. The proper quote is: What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. What it means is precisely the opposite of your intent. It means the name itself doesn't matter. Remember Juliet is saying that had Romeo only had another family name, this love of theirs wouldn't be so cursed. She even precedes that famous line with one that would serve us well in the corps/band discussion: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
