I agree whole-heartedly! The problem marching bands are running into these days is that the focus has shifted from music to the visual aspect. DCI is partly to blame, seeing as many band directors seek to copy their programs. As well as the society we are living in. I ask you, would Madonna, Britney Spears, and the like be half as popular if there were no videos, commercials, etc.? No. It's sure not their singing. Style over Substance! As for loud playing, I agree that it's purely competition based and most believe blasting is louder than playing in tune. Oh well, hopefully they'll learn someday!
