dcpguy1111 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I do like how BK is really envolved in WGI.....obviously they have one of the best percussion units, I believe they have a winter guard too. You would think, not to diss on BK, but with all of these winter ensembles that they could place higher come summer time. Unless of course everybody leaves to go to another corps. You think everybody who's in BK does their Winterline stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzEuph Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 You think everybody who's in BK does their Winterline stuff? No I'm just saying that if they could carry those members over.....such as their drumline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD3BK2R2 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I will never get used to the knee pop, It doesn't look natural and exposes anyone who is late or misses a pop. I'm glad I didn't have to do it. Trav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzEuph Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yeah I'm not a real big fan of it either! I don't like it because it tells you what they're about to do...I would just rather see a corps move unexpectedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucker Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 What are the chances this type of thing will catch on? Think we might see a brass catagory in WGI with competing units someday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzEuph Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 My friend and I are starting one, I got the approval to do one...except it's only exhibition. But still it's a start!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeceptiveCadence Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 --First post on DCP!-- I was in the Winter Brass line this year, and will be a rookie member of the Blue Knights this summer... From what the instructors told us, winter brass is something that a lot of other groups are showing interest in. Ours has existed for three years; only last year was there a full show, and this year we absolutely skyrocketed as far as membership and talent and dedication. It would definitely be interesting to see other corps try something like this. Or anyone--We only do exhibition shows now. Most every weekend (except for Camp weekends) we perform at a Drum or Guard show or both. Nothing's wrong with exhibition, but a little competition could be healthy to inspire growth.

BrassMachine05 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Wow, I am really digging this. I seriously hope this catches on. Only problem is if this becomes big, how will it conflict with the winter camps of corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeceptiveCadence Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 In theory it would be a similar complication that any corps has with any winter lines... Drumlines and guards have conflicts all the time. For us, we just didn't have shows those weekends.... I think in some ways it was bad for the winter line, because we'd have to skip a week's worth of rehearsals due to camp. But also it might have been more detrimental to the Corps hornline for those people to be gone. Suppose that's a problem that would be dealt with more if this activity becomes competitive...

Yeah, thats what I figured. It would really be cool if WGI were to pick this up. I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
