There is a substantial difference between then and now, but the changes are for the better, they do everything you did, and more. I can't judge color guard though, I play the trumpet.

Bass solo was sexy :)

I did several rifle twirling competitions,,remember those single equipment comps? A routine I did once began with my tossing my rifle in the air with my arm up and I caught it without looking up - only using my eyes to look up without moving my head to look up. ANYWAY.. one night, my music starts, my routine starts and toss the rifle up. My hand is up and I am waiting, and waiting, and then comes a standing O. I turned and looked up - my rifle was in the basketball net!! No 2 points tho lol

WELambert -- first, it's just a sort of a 'culture shock' I guess you'd call it. Of course through life everything changes..and of course the way things were back in the 60s-70s were great for us who were a part of it. Same goes now I'd guess for those now a part of a (IMO) really awesome thing.. know what I mean? I am still stunned by the guitars though! lol

BTW - you meantioned dropped equipment - remember that 1/10th of a point penalty? Lol - Gotta tell you a TRUE funny about that..con't...

@jonjonsgrammie I disagree exactly at what point would have drum corps not evolved? If I follow your logic drum corps would stood be playing with rotor and valves. The argument you voiced was also being echo by those who marched in the 50's and 60's to those of us in the 70's. Having a drumline march up and down the 50 yard line with 5 timpanis did not make sense then and does not make sense now. Dropping your equipment and having to wait until the judge return it to you did not make sense.

Goldcrayon -- why are you calling a THREE year old a "horndog"? Nice! Thanks phantommp! It IS a shame. I still enjoy watching some of the videos, but they are just SO far from what they started out to be, what they were meant to be. Guitars - I cannot even imagine! How to ruin a wonderful thing!

[goldcrayon2]

@jonjonsgrammie LOL. jonjon is a horndog!

[phantommp5]

Jonjon... I agree with you! The Corps are constantly moving, dancing, singing, and this year guitars! George Hopkins of the Cadets has gotten his wish...Drum & BUGLE Corps have become bands! What a shame.

@jonjonsgrammie You don't need to be such a downer. There wasn't internet back then either...I think the changes are for the better! They are soooo much fun to see live! Don't get me wrong, "old school" was great! Our generation is 'go go go', so it just makes sence that this sport has changed to be different.
