Stu.. let me explain this to you in terms you may understand.... IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. DCE IS/WAS FINANCIALLY SOLVENT. This was purely about the fact that 3 of the 6 board quit / retired / resigned / and were not replaced. The remaining 3 carried on and burnt out. Nobody stepped up to take their places so they shut it down. End of....

Regiment quietly added recent age-out David Warren to their staff. http://regiment.org/staff/david-warren/

Reddit is a treasure. And I mean that seriously.

Nah… If I wanted to support people high on drugs while riding bikes I would rather invest in the Tour de France.

Considering that he and Ferguson are so tight, I would certainly think so. He is the sound designer on almost every project Ferguson writes for.

It is. Carolina Crown was Relentless with this once they were given a Second Chance.

I swear, whenever I read your posts the only image that pops into my mind is Ben Affleck's character from The Accountant.

These are all great questions...strike while the fire is still hot...I'm just not sure if DCI member board would want to take this sort of gamble though...

yeah, the performance level is going nowhere but up, imo turning the field into a giant WGI stage is a natural progression

I am here in St. Louis right now live, I got the awesome chance to live blog for this event! Long story short, this show is unlike anything I've ever seen in terms of the scale. And not just the tarps, in the choreography and whole visual design as well. And, well if you didn't read my comments I loved it. It was absolutely enthralling, I want to watch that show 20 more times just to catch everything. That is close to the most fun I've had watching a marching arts performance, and the music. That show has left a HUGE impact on me. Think the activity is dying because of it? No. The buzz created by this show is something else, we can't stop talking about it here. And ditto from the guy next to me. :)

Boston Crusaders has as a goal recruiting more local marching members which I think is great, and Troopers coming to Boston is a good idea. I think the New England area is overlooked but has lots of talent. While Boston Crusaders recruits nationally, Spartans and 7th Regiment are both strong, largely local, and the two corps show there is interest in drum corps. I do know some believe the band activity is not as strong in New England as in other parts of the country, though there are some excellent high school marching bands and an active local circuit, not to mention some that compete in USBands. Of course music education is more than a marching program, and there are some excellent music programs in the Boston area even though they do not have competitive matching bands. Finally, there are many great colleges in New England not to mention Berklee and the New England Conservatory. While I do run into kids who march and go to college in Boston, there has to be lots of potential candidates.

We will be in the Tampa area during the auditions. Excellent. We’ll stop by for a couple of hours.

Madison Scouts update today... Brass staff : http://www.madisonscoutslive.com/mainsite/2017/10/scouts-welcome-dave-cooksey-announce-brass-team/

Scouts announced their full brass team today. Dave Cooksey is coming back to the corps, as well as some that have been with the corps the past few years, and some new faces. Looks like a great team. I can't link the post due to firewalls as work, but check it out if you're interested.
