Hrothgar15 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 You're not biased are you? ;) No, I haven't marched corps...I just think that's the best drum corps show ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradrick Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Here's another question....Do you think its safe to say that this is the greatest drum corps ending of all time? It would certainly be on my short list. Absulutely beautiful way to end that show. A show ending that breathtaking and moves people to tears... May drum corps NEVER loose that.

BaritoneBamBam Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Here's another question....Do you think its safe to say that this is the greatest drum corps ending of all time? It's definitely on my top 5 list. Absolutely fantastic, I melt to the Simple Gifts melody every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not charted, we made them up under Marc's direction. We would practice scattering and Marc would make modifications so that it looked random enough, but we charted out courses. However, we did have to always take the same scatter route so that everybody knew where everyone was going and knew what to look out for.

PR_ducky Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The other thing to realize is that the imaginary line of the front, had it stayed together, does move from where they started to where they ended. In other words, the line of the front exists during the whole move and moves forward. We don't see it because the members dissolve and reform, but if they hadn't, if they just did a front, it would have started where it did and ended where it did. Imaginary, but real . Cool as heck too!!! ^OO^ Not to ruin the magic of the move, but if you watch closely you will see the first people to come set in the reforming front are all on yard lines, sort of a set guide for the rest of the front. Still genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still genius. In a way though, that's all part of the great planning of the drill. Man, that is some of my favorite drill in DCI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
