I anxiously await the next "Big Thing"

[morganhill]

The next "big thing" in "drum corps?" When Hoppy, DCI & Co. are FINALLY allowed to have amplified harmonicas and accordions on the field to accompany the woodwinds and guitars. Their "dream come true."

Eventually the inclusion of electronics will lead to a major push for Robots (for real, the bleep-bleep-bloop kind).

...butttttt...the first all-Robot corps will anger the humans because they spend only 1 day "rehearsing" (a.k.a. being programed).

All musicians would be out of work then. ^0^

Back in the 70s, Drum Corps News carried series of comics along these lines. DC went to a draft like sports leagues have, along with 2 sops for that bass drummer type trades. Then to the androids with lasers to check the straightness of lines, etc. Finally a group of humans marched like it was in the "good old days" and the crowd realized that the robots were cleaner but missing emotion when they played.

Comic ended with a riot when "Man Corps" (still remember the name) lost in a close one to the robot corps. B)

ha. thats great.
