gongfunker Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I received my 2000 DVDs today and suddenly remembered that this was the year of the "death" of bugles. I then thoguht of how *much fun* it must have been on message boards like this in late 99 and 2000. So here is my question: How many people swore off drum corps 7 years ago, but still listen/go to shows today? I just wonder really...

Hrothgar15 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Weren't like all but two corps using G bugles in 2000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongfunker Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 possibly...but those two i'm sure spawned off onto other corps... i just know i will probably ask a question like this again in 2011. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbugler Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I just remember being really jealous of the Bb hornlines, even though I enjoyed playing the G Bugle. It just didn't seem fair that the Bb lines in 2000 could play more comfortably. Now, I was in the minority at my drum corps at that time, but I really hoped to play a Bb instrument at some point.

JayM Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Cadets and BD went first. Cavaliers and SCV followed in 2001. Bluecoats and Crossmen in 2002. Phantom didn't switch until 2003. Madison in 2004 (?) That's about all I can remember these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared_mello Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Worst decision ever made ..... but I'm sure there's something about in on RAMD. If you can still find it online. bd didn't sound like much of a "bad decision" in 2000. with that being said, i wish i played a G horn and had the ability to march while they were used.

Hrothgar15 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah, to me the quality of sound that the Bb/F horns produce is less than that of the G bugles used in the 1990s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
