Maybe this is the wrong place for this, but I did drum and bugle corps back in the day, was a fan for a long time after, but it is just so different now. I feel like all of the traditions and legacy has been sanded down, while at the same time it has gotten WAAAAY more expensive for the participants (to the point that if I was a participant today, I wouldn’t be able to afford it). It’s something that really meant a lot to me and had a profound impact on my life, and I truly don’t even recognize it anymore.

Sorry, just had to vent.
