geluf Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Sorry, I have not seen one 'excellent' argument against them. Not one. Cost, Mike. COST. Tell me where the money is going to come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumCorpsFan27 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Cost, Mike. COST.Tell me where the money is going to come from. Well, the top 6-8 corps will get free or reduced price instruments as long as their names are used for advertising. As far as the rest of the corps, well, they don't really count anyway, do they? They will just have to kick and scratch and claw for the extra money while the super 8 widens the gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiosteele Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I know I'm gonna catch you off-guard here... seriously.. #### NO WOODWINDS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED IN DRUM CORPS FOR ANY REASON!! PICK UP A BRASS INSTRUMENT AND LEARN IT. I know its a rare, controversial opinion, but I've gotta stick to my guns. /sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geluf Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 manufacturers kickbacks Even if a manufacturer will supply and entire line of woodwind instruments (which I HIGHLY doubt. They are MUCH more expensive per unit then brass instruments), there's no way they'll cover all the reeds, pads, and other things that constantly have to be replaced on these suckers.
