Truth is.. These concepts are displayed commonly alot within our bands. they're just not use to create a full show..
The Scramble, Rattle, Rip, Tiger Run-On, are not 8to5 box marching/drilling concepts.. most of the time those are Double-Time Dynamic Movements.. That's not something invented by show-style bands but many of us do it as part of our signature features.
Box Drills concepts usually have corners. ... whether its 2 4 6 8.. it has a corner and there's always a pivot or wing man in each 4 man set.. but you also can go 8 or 16 man sets. it doesn't matter it still amounts to a box drill.
High Knee Lifts (8 to 5).. means 4's and 8's will always matter.
When you Stride step (rolling), it's commonly 6 to 5 which means that depending on the drill concept there will be more shifts in numbers..it'll be common to get veriations of whole and half steps happening simultaneously Why? because it's commonly a follow the leader situation ... Similar to when our bands are in "Double-Time" .. yet slower..or depending on the shifts in tempo of the music they're playing.
It's all about positioning.. it's the same when playing music ...
you probably knew that already
Honestly, I think that the crowds are getting tired of seeing the same routines over and over, and the dance routines are getting stale.
