In fact, Emmons&#8217; involvement set the stage for a new generation of movement on the field.<\/p><p>As a drill writer, Emmons has done more to change the look of drum corps than anyone else. A renowned drill designer of the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s, he broke with tradition to introduce the asymmetrical drill. Previously, the activity had quasimilitary drills. Emmons, however, broadened the scope of the drills and changed them to more of a choreographed style. That style, so revolutionary in the &#8217;70s when Santa Clara Vanguard pioneered it, evolved into what drum corps is today. The drum corps fan is hard-pressed to find a corps that doesn&#8217;t incorporate an Emmons concept into at least part of their show.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","hall-of-fame-year":[22],"class_list":["post-36639","hall-of-fame","type-hall-of-fame","status-publish","hentry","hall-of-fame-year-22"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
