Why does it seep like every single high school marching band marches Corps Style, with no mace/baton? They teach roll-step mace and roll-step baton at SWC, it just seems like no one marches with equipment anymore. I feel like it is more impressive to the audience to do a mace/baton salute before a show then to move your hands around, and end in a salute. Not saying that Corps-Style salutes can't be impressive, it's just that mace/baton has an extra 'wow' factor.

Nothing against these drum majors though, just a rant targeted at the marching band community as a whole.
