“If you can’t sing it, you can’t play it.” - everyone that played in a drum corps that marched G’s… it wasn’t a gimmick, it was necessary. However, what a rich tradition/technique it left.
i marched cascades in 23 and we sang our corps song (imagine) at the end of each performance, but we just sang notes, and we didn't necessarily perfect it, just something to bring us together now matter how poor or well the run went that day
At crossmen we would sing in visual rehearsal a lot of the time, just on dah dah, because we didn’t really have lyrics with the songs notes we were playing but it was wonderful! I loved when we would sing!
Random Person: Whats your favorite song?
Me: Uhh... its complicated

I adore that bluecoats sings their ballads, and really knows how to sing them too! Do other corps do this? I'd love to hear it.
Crown does

Yes they learned to sing it before playing it. Its to know the intent for the emotions
Nixa 2023 ballad also
all percussion should sing their part
Ill never forget.. if you cant sing it, you cant play it - Thanks Derek
Proof that if the music is beautiful enough people will sing anything even if it speaks of pure evil.
Elaborate

On a Wednesday
Reach in your pocket, embrace you for all you're worth. Is that wrong? Isn't that what you want?
I was like #901! MEMPHO!!! Go Bloo!!!!
I was the 1000th like 😊
Do they know what they are singing? They don’t even know the meaning of the song and the message it is sending.
Endless keyboard nattering is unnecessary and distracting from the purity of the song.
