MikeD Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Yes, this thread has served its purpose. It's pointed out that in another discussion, the absurdity of adding to the point of reclassification (i.e. adding woodwinds) looks exceptionally absurd when applied equally to another related activity. I'd like to thank the people that understood... like 3 of you. IMO the above is not true. There would be nothing wrong for WGI to add whatever they so choose to the indoor activity. There used to be, btw, many indoor drum corps shows in my area...going waaaay back to the 60's and 70's. I used to judge them from the mid-70's to 80'ish. They would have an I&E type of thing all morning and then a full corps show in the gym later in the afternoon, followed by a guard show at night.

Jami Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Quite honestly, WGI is already ahead of its time in so many ways, and DCI looks to them for a lot of new ideas, so I'd just leave WGI alone - they're going to change on their own on their own terms.

audiodb Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 By the way, does anyone know who makes the rules in WGI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaghatron Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 By the way, does anyone know who makes the rules in WGI? I'm assuming some kind of Board of Directors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimaster Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 There is no rule against having horns in a WGI show, just no caption scoring them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekneek Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 WGI is already winter drum corps, basically, so we might as well go all the way. It makes sense. What about those horn players that would love to be involved, but are currently pushed to the sidelines? Let them in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Denzer Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Live instruments are not against the rules in WGI competition. They have been used by many units in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbugler Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm cool with it, but where do we start? As a band director, I can't imagine successfully running a drumline, guard, and brass group when we can barely get gym time with just the two ensembles. I'm sure an independent group would have the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
