Championships show. It used to be on public television, but now ESPN has picked it up.
Flute/Piccolo, Bassoon/Contrabassoon in HS and on scholarship in college. :patriot:

6. I appreciate the coverage that DCI is getting on ESPN and all |
|
but they do a shitty job of covering it. In marching band, so much is tied into the overhead picture (the view from the stands, so to speak)
The ESPN coverage spends WAYYYYY too much time field-level, rather than with overhead shots. The auxiliary is nice and all, but it's not the ONLY thing happening.
Am I off base?
