Galen Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Maybe someone can answer this for me. Based on the rules that DCI uses right now regarding pit instrumentation and amplification, could a corps legally use a harmonica in their show (I'm thinking specifically about a blues-style harmonica)? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambassadorhorn Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I think a harmonica would have to be classed as a woodwind. They aren't allowed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Southwind used kazoos during their '97 show. Entire hornline on the field played them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Southwind used kazoos during their '97 show. Entire hornline on the field played them. L.I. Sunrisers drum line used kazoos in '77 in March of the Wind Up Toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonaut Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 What about juice harps? Why don’t we ever talk about juice harps? I would love to see a corps march a juice harp line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madscout96 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Southwind used kazoos during their '97 show. Entire hornline on the field played them. I wouldn't consider a kazoo to be an instrument independently. It's basically an attachment for the voice, to change the tone color. The voice is an instrument that is legal in drum corps. What about juice harps? Why don’t we ever talk about juice harps? I would love to see a corps march a juice harp line. I would think that (juice?) harps are legal because they're actually just a percussion instrument and the performer uses his or her mouth as a resonating chamber for it. It's not a wind instrument. Has any corps ever used a jaw harp (as I prefer to call them)? Troopers could have used them last year in part of their show, it would have fit!
