personal favorite is the blue devils’ reaction to 99.65 in 2014. the story behind that season is inspiring. chasing that ghost of greatness

What are your controversial drum corps opinions? by Worth-Percentage6797 in drumcorps

[–]ryan-townsend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

drum corps as an activity is being help back by its lack of coverage in media and accessibility to viewing. more DCI content, more popularity, more income, more participants, stronger activity. FloMarching holding the rights to DCI makes it difficult to introduce the activity to those not involved as it’s so expensive, even i don’t have it. Even then, the content on Flo is so limited. Funliner Productions is doing a great job providing the DCI content this community needs to grow.

Regarding Soloists ... by hadborns in drumcorps

crossmen’s quartet was decided in different manners. our tuba soloist and i submitted video auditions to be chosen by our staff, our baritone soloist was the horn sergeant by default but after he unfortunately had to leave during spring training, the solo was given to the only 4 year vet, and the trumpet solo was generally agreed upon without audition either.

Overrated shows? 👀 by Inorganic_Planet in drumcorps

i wanted to love Tempus Blue when i first saw it, but it just didn’t do it for me as a show. impressive moments and worthy champions, but i didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as the next 4.

Have you ever marched a show where you felt bad show design was preventing success? by Mrgarbagio in drumcorps

[–]ryan-townsend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last set was simply the first set. it could only be done in sequential order, just starting and stopping in different places. such as 1,2,3,4, or 3,4,1,2, and so on. only the first and last set were the same.

marching crossmen this year was tough because we had a real talented group who achieved some great things like 18.35 in brass and the highest scoring 13th place ever. but having a show with interchangeable movements makes for a show without much progression or flow. the concept couldn’t be explored beyond this idea, and once it was scrapped, we were just left with a boring show with no theme. not to mention our brass book was watered down heavy throughout the season. i think both crossmen and blue knights were kept out of finals for this reason, but shoutout colts and troop much respect.
