MGCpimpOtimp Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'm going to go ahead and say no, unfortunately. I think that most of the extra spots will go to the horn line, and the rest to the percussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I would hope so, but don't think it will happen. There are top 17 corps now that have trouble filling spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman Marcher Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I really, really, really hope so. At least for some groups that have recently cut their lines, like Madison, and Bloo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcat Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Ummmmmmm....... No. Most will bring 15 more brass, or maybe add a couple to the guard. You'll only see platelines in corps that can't fill brass, or don't have the money to buy the brass instruments needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn craig Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think in the top corps no. Most sposts will go to brass with a couple going to percussion and guard. I think in other corps that have trouble filling a larger horn line you might see either a larger cymbal line or an added cymbal line.

InHiFiStereo Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think some designers just choose not to make use of cymbal lines, regardless if they have the ability to have them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rut-roh Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think some designers just choose not to make use of cymbal lines, regardless if they have the ability to have them or not. And THAT is why you probably won't see many return to them. Many writers either don't like writing for them or don't know how to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGarrett Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 there is a lot to be said for a good cymbal line. FIRST: It's a shame that ANY instrument is eliminated as a section and "downsized" into a single representation on the field SECOND: I know you can put different pitch cymblas in the pit, but the actual crashing IN the field cannot be duplicated, and utilizing different sized & pitched cymbals is indeed important to full sound THIRD: The visual ability and attraction of a cymbal line doing good moves is irreplaceable. Bring them back in earnest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
