       Do any of them sell videos? If not, why don't they do that? Don't they   
   think   
   it would be impressive to see videos of some of the more complex patterns being   
   produced in darkness in just a single night? And the amount of planning and   
   probably practice that would be required in order to pull it off so perfectly?   
   Drum and bugle corps make complex patterns on football fields but they do a LOT   
   of practice in order to get it right, and they make a lot of mistakes and   
   corrections along the way to developing a decent performance. And they do it   
   with plenty of light so they can see what they're doing, and record practices   
   on   
   video so people can go back to see what they're doing wrong in order to correct   
   it as much as possible before performing. So don't you think people who make   
   complex patterns in grain fields for the entire world to see should be proud of   
   how they did it in a short period of time, in the dark, and how they prepared   
   and how they practiced in advance in order to get it right the one and only   
   chance they have to do it correctly, without being able to errase any mistakes?
