nothingbetter Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Wait a tick , I know why George proposed the 150 member and prop personal rules. In case one of the them failed, he'd have a back up plan so he could still get the all the props on the field. In this case, the 150 member rule passed by the prop rule didn't. Therefore he can use those extra 15 people to carry in the props. :P Under the section on their corps jacket it'd say "Prop Lackey" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

contrajedi8 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) I would put most of them in the color guard and pit. The rest in the battery. But what is really the point of dirtying up a dirty line? I also question all these folks that say they would like to see 18-20 contras on the field. As a marching member on contra and now contra tech, if you can't do it with 10-12 contras, you can't do it. 10-12 seems to be the norm these days but I don't think a phantom hornline with 20 contras is going to play any louder than a phanton hornline with 12. If anything, they will be more out of tune (if that's possible for them). I remember when BD used to march 8 tubas and be loud a $#!^. More isn't always the answer folks. I've seen groups with 20 tubas. They're called college marching bands I just have a hard time believing that an 80 member hornline is going to play much louder than a 64 person hornline.
