Electronics
There was a clarification made regarding the use of electronics, a rule passed in 2008 for implementation in 2009. The following is the entire new section in the rule book:.
4.8 Use of Electronic Equipment
4.8.1 Terminology:
• “Music” (or “Musical”) shall be defined as the organization of melodic, harmonic and/or rhythmic sound through time.
• An “Electronic Instrument shall be defined as any pieces of electronic equipment that produces “Musical” sound.
• A “Sequence” or “Loop” shall be defined as “Music” that is pre-recorded or programmed during a performance.
• ”Human Voice” shall be defined as spoken word.
4.8.2 Music from Electronic Instruments is allowed given that the Music is being performed live, in real time during the performance.
4.8.3 Sequenced Music will not be allowed.
4.8.4 Musical Loops will not be allowed.
4.8.5 Pre-recorded Sound Effects and Human Voice can be used without penalty.
Permission must be obtained for all copyrighted material.
Monterastelli explains, “The Judges Advisory Committee and the instructors decided clarification of the electronics rules was necessary. We are allowing for electronic musical instruments and pre-recorded sounds. We are allowing for pre-recorded voice as well, but not for singing. For example, a corps could use the Martin Luther King Jr. ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, or bird sounds, or the sounds of a waterfall.
“However, a corps can’t have someone on a recording sing by just hitting a key. One single keystroke can only result in a single event. A single keystroke can’t result in multiple musical tones.”
“For further clarification, corps staff members have been instructed to send their questions to judge administrator John Phillips between now and the beginning of the season,” said Monterastelli. “He will publish the answers for everybody after discussing with the Judges Advisory Committee if necessary.” ]
