What if ...

... 10% of drum corps brass lines were required to be made up of primary woodwind players?

... the drum corps "world class" designation was split based on average age (<19, 19-21), and open class remained on ability. Or ... are we talking about the same thing?

... a minimum tour was required to ensure a maximum experience?

... guards - winter guards, drum corps guards - had to carry equipment for a minimum period of time, say 50%, 60% or 70%?

... everyone used these same audition materials and process in November, so every kid had an equal chance at every corps without having to travel all over creation ... or to Texas?

... fans had a vote, say, in a caption called "entertainment effect"?

... the marching pageantry arts organizations became one part of one organization, sanctioning fall, winter and summer series? if so, who would be in charge?

... Drum Corps International changed its name to just "DCI"?

... all band circuits used one judging criteria? if so, what would it be? and would it be educationally focused?

... all band circuits used the same "grouping" classifications? if so, would it be based on size? if so, size of what? and would there be categories for ability? if so, what is an advanced band? an intermediate one? a novice one?

... pigs do fly?
