The corps are responsible for the performance and arranging rights. DCI is responsible for the sync rights for video and audio recording rights. I wish more people understood that these are not all the same, and different parties are responsible for different things. The issues right now for DCI are the sync rights for video...at least that is what is holding up the 2015 videos. Sorry if that seems obvious to many, but it seems like a lot of people don't understand.

It's not DCA's job to tell the corps what they can and cannot play, nor is it really possible to pass a rule stating "corps can't play any music DCA cannot secure the synch rights for". It's not the corps responsibility to even inquire about synch rights (unless they plan to release thier own media....but even then the pricing may be vastly different). Corps are responsible for arranging and performance rights. Period, stop. And let's be honest...DCA (and DCI) abused copyright for so many years, it's a wonder the rightsholders will even have a conversation with the two circuits all, let alone sell them synch rights at an affordable rate.

Not a big deal! Just thought someone should post it! :)

DCA Alumni Classic is not being dropped - DVD of it is - I hope that is what Andy meant. I hope Director's copies are made available to corps so we have a visual record of our performances. I hope BFDTV who records on occasion can find a loophole to get more involved. frankiE

P.S. Before I run and work on a composition and friend and I are looking to perform at a couple of churches and the youth group at St. Thomas, A lot will depend on how much I get moved in to new surroundings by the end of March. Looking forward to getting the bleep out of this place.

Doesn't always help when corps try to stay with their identity
