If you're on the field for any reason, including handling of props, you ARE part of the performance.

Ask anyone involved in theatre, the sound, lighting and stage hands are very important to the performance and can have a great effect on how the performance goes.

Cadets hornline carried and moved the pink benches in a way that made them a part of the drill. That's part of the show.

At what point is a prop, say a "character" prop, part of the act? What happens if you have a bench move in a "funny" way during a show... that's a performance, and as lame as it may sound, that's why drum corps has member limits.

Okay, that's a good point.

I think some people get carried away with props and it actually takes away from the show and mainly...the performers.

I agree, if you are on the field, you should be in the count.

Exactly.

When large props are moved during a show, it's often done by guard members...an example of how this can go wrong is Magic of Orlando 2002. Something as small as a dropped toss can cause that guard member to be late moving a prop, and next thing ya know, somebody is tripping backwards over a concert bass drum. I say free up the performers to perform, and have somebody there that can pay full attention to the props.
