Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I wonder what would happen if a director submitted a proposal to ban A&E. If I remember correctly, it was pretty close last time. I wonder if the public outcry and controversy would sway any minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 the problem is, despite what some directors have said off the record, no one has the balls to actually do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn craig Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Vocals in gerneral: Keep to a minimum! The chanting rhyhmic stuff is usually ok, but a little bit goes a long way. The singing is usually just not done that well, (sorry but IMO true!) or at least at the same high level as the brass and percussion playing, so again, a little goes a long way. As for amping vocals, my biggest complaint is that it doesn't sound right and fit in with an otherwise all acoustic ensemble. It jumps out at you IMO in a negative way, very out of character with everything else going on.

shawn craig Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) I talked to one of the top Div I directors this summer and it was insightful. 1. The percussion arrangers and staff are the ones pushing amps. Some directors really don't want to use them but risk losing top percussion staffif if they don't . 2. Percussion judges have made negative comments to corps not using amps. So much for it being a choice.
