Jeff Ream Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Except there are thousands of flute players, clarinet players, sax players who already march...and may want to march with the best in the world...it's not that big a deal to add them to drum corps, esp in a new division. and there are millions of baseball players who may want to play football...do we change the sport entirely for them? no we do not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 that doesnt make it evolution. that says that the powers that be are so creativly stifled that they cant think of anything else and have to add new toys to make things work. I have not seen 'creatively stifled' staffs. Sometmes things are just plain good ideas...amps...amplified voice...WW...electronics...being four prime examples.

MikeD Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yes, the military bands use ww, but NOT the military Drum and Bugle Corps!!! Irrelevant...the post was in response to a person who said clarinets don't march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Where has THAT happened? I have yet to see one 'hole' shot through the 'amps proposal'.BTW...it is no longer a "proposal"...it's part of the drum corps activity. it happens in every thread on the topic, you just choose to ignore it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine...but it is not shooting anything full of holes...it's just opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walder Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Prove that there is more dissension today...DCI attendance numbers show otherwise. I beg to differ...what was the number at finals last year and what was the number in 1987, 1993, 1999? to further...what were total spectators throughout the season, although there are less shows now than there were 20 years ago, even percentage wise it is a lower number.

Except that you are the only one proposing a separate division. While the powers that be in DCI have discussed adding woodwinds, no one is discussing separate divisions.
