MHSmirage Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 BD and SCV have a lot of WGI cats and you can see that strong influence on the field. They just get a little freaked out about how much more they have to run compared to the basketball court.Mom Trust me, those 'cats' don't freak about the size of the stage in any venue. AND there are WGI folks marching in ALL the corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapettes Mom Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Well that's cool about your personal achievements. (I think Bobbie had problems if he had to humilate his team by forcing them to watch Star) Yes I have marched. Just Google. Mom According to Bobby Knight who used to take (at the time) his Indiana Hoosier team to watch Star of Indiana, it is an athletic event. Have you ever marched dude? I am just curious do you really believe what you are spouting, because if you have marched you'd know that the Drum Corps regime is harder than anything done in athletics both mentaly and physically. I was a 4 sport athelete and what we in practice for corps was far more taxing than sports. Not a sport??? Maybe try it and give us your real name and step up to the proverbial plate and then I'll respect your take!!Wesley R.

Snapettes Mom Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yah right. You ever try to run 200 bpm in Texas this time of year with tenors on and play clean. You must be kidding me.

07-Socks Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I'm not saying that you have to be totally strict. But come on now. At least have a good topic every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no longer alone in the "I don't care what you think" category!! 1.) wes and socks--sorry to drag you into a previous post--hope it doesn't take over the thread and throw you guys under the bus--drag me down if it does... 2.) mom--not sayin' anything towards you--and Texas is currently a part of the Gulf of Mexico--little bit of rain lately 3.) Drum Corps is a sport. I know--I have the sweat marks to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000Cadet Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Maybe placements should be illiminated except on the weekends or the last week of the season to minimize the causualties.Mom Hmmmm...maybe, but I don't think that will ever happen. The members don't get paid for participating in this activity. I just think of the scoring as a little incentive to doing better every show. Sure, illiminating scores may (although I am not really sure about this) minimize the casualties, but in the long run, I think scoring helps us to see how much better the corps are doing throughout the season. Personally, I was (and still am) a VERY competitive person and I honestly marched to win. But I am sure there are lots of kids who participate in this activity just for the fun and the satisfaction of working together for a common goal. ....just my .02 cents....
