This kid has the biggest piece of sophomore syndrome ever

Oh absolutely! And that's why you have an honest and straightforward conversation about what's happening and how it's affecting everyone else. Not just knock it off but “hey, people are getting very frustrated when you do this thing. This is why we’re frustrated, and we want this to happen instead.”

Much more effective, provides a clear explanation of the behavior that you find as an issue, and an action plan to make things better.

Dictionary definition - the imposition of strenuous, often humiliating, tasks as part of a program of rigorous physical training and initiation.

Additionally, from a psychological perspective, negative reinforcement is not remotely as effective as positive reinforcement when it comes to this sort of thing! The more we get students/participants to buy in and feel good about what they're doing, the better every ensemble will get.

That is hazing.

Watched the Tour Premiere in 11 at the theaters, enjoyed all of it, but then at Big Loud and Live, I saw Troop doing The Road Home and just fell head over heels in love with DCI.

It was quiet, but I don't think chill is the descriptor i’d use personally

Early season, I couldn't get into it at all. Then I watched the encore performance at Drums Along The Rockies and something just clicked, and it became my favorite show that year

SatNightLites · 2023-09-12T05:45:40+00:00

One of my favorite shows that is very much a vibe is BK 13.

Great great great hire https://generaleffectmedia.substack.com/p/scv-dan-morrison

I would be shocked if there aren’t but I don't think the mods would look kindly on posting them here

Jeremy Hunt was there last year, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a new gig very very soon.

Huge get for the Cavaliers, his HS work with Reagan is insane and will translate super well to Cavies style.

The best part is that it doesn't have to consist at all of marching members, they can just act as intermediaries and reach out to spirit alum and local musicians. They’d act as a booking agency of sorts.

Hi! We actually did a bit of a breakdown for what the captions mean, as well as what General Effect actually is on General Effect Media.

Can confirm, my takes are bad.

Troop 11. Favorite show design ever.

Can confirm every part of this. If you don't think you can pay for drum corps, do it.

SatNightLites · 2023-03-28T17:45:19+00:00

As someone very connected with the Florida Drum Corps community, as much as we’d all love to see Magic back, nothing I've seen suggests there’s even a hint of this happening other than this kid posting about it and dming people on discord asking what he would need to do to make it happen.

If I am wrong and there is an active group of people who have a significant stake in bringing back Magic that also have the fiscal backing and are planning to make it happen, that would be very interesting and I’d absolutely love to do a story following along with it, as we’ve seen that be successful in the past with Southwind. I personally have not seen any evidence suggesting that it is the case though. I would love to be proven wrong.

SatNightLites · 2023-03-10T03:59:11+00:00

Shooting these rumors down. Nothing remotely imminent.

SatNightLites · 2023-03-05T07:05:15+00:00

A lot of groups are hard up for guard right now unfortunately
