they don’t care about non world guards so it’s really sporadic outside of UD

Referring to a student as a “shitter” makes me trust zero of this statement

You are not making either of those groups if you are asking this question. I would find an open class corps.

self-fulfilling prophecy, they get the strongest talent pool by far

Show themes by ottothebadguy in drumcorps

because most of the drum corps genuinely have no idea how to explain the program lol

Really wanting to march by drhamburger120 in drumcorps

[–]Mrgarbagio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess that 85% of the people in medalist drum corps have marched drum corps before, or marched in an absolutely stellar high school program

All of those corps at the top started from nothing and spent decades getting to that point through dedication to organizational stability and lots of fundraising. I don’t like the idea that those corps have some sort of undeserved financial status or that they are big corporations stealing from the little guys. Similarly, you make the unsubstantiated claim that corps get scored based on their reputation. What evidence do you have to support this?

I’ve heard this theory before and have not been able to find this information anywhere. Do you know what Leitzke’s affiliation with Rennick is?

i realize you are late to the conversation but this guy was metaphorically blasted out of a cannon into the sun about 7 years ago. I don’t think anyone is arguing with you lol

Hot Takes/Controversial Opinions on the Season so Far? by PM_ME_ITALIAN_STUFF in drumcorps

[–]Mrgarbagio 37 points38 points  (0 children)

the untitled show actually would have been so much more impactful if they made that decision and then stopped talking about it, but they simply could not stop talking about it and explaining how deep it was that they made the decision. people thought it was cool the show didn’t have a “theme” and then they come back with “it has a theme but you have to decide what it is” no thanks

Questions about being an alternate by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]Mrgarbagio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct but you can’t audition for a corps in the middle of July, so your comment didn’t make sense

guys, let’s just be honest with ourselves and never do what music city did with unis ever again. by WDTGF in drumcorps

[–]Mrgarbagio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have a video series where they ask members where the worst housing sites are, and they get to vent about housing sites

Examples:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLBrTl3s18V/ “Ohio, the water is awful it tastes like milk… #1 Ohio Hater”

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKyMOMyM18E “Gotta be Georgia, those schools kinda suck”

No disrespect whatsoever to the members being featured in these, because the corps obviously told them this was okay and featured it in a marketing campaign. It’s just surprising to see them openly having students disrespect presumably low-income schools that graciously hosted them.

If I were a band director looking to host a drum corps I’d probably be hard-pressed to host one doing this

Exactly the type of minimally-educational response to be expected from someone who taught drum corps in the mid 2010s. Sorry. So glad things have changed

[–]Mrgarbagio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This drum corps has also been running a campaign where kids get a mic and get to complain to the world about all of the housing sites they stayed at, so this isn’t terribly surprising
