  1. 2 DCI finalist corps ( Bayonne and Cadets) literally minutes away + Crossmen an hour away lead the talented members to greener pastures. This was what folded the corps.
  2. I marched in Fantasia III, the corps was never sponsored by the Burger King Company. A local NJ franchisee hired the corps to play at a small amount of gigs for a few $ and free food. A few overzealous administrators decided to paint the BK logo on the back door of the truck and announce we were sponsored by BK. One day by chance a corporate executive from the Burger King company saw the truck, found the owners and promptly contacted the administration to immediately remove the logo and cease and desist any claim of sponsorship with the BK company, that was in 1979, the corps folded in 1983. The corps ran a successful bingo game every week, ran 2 large Christmas tree lots every holiday, fundraised and marched many parade's and ran a successful DCE show every June to raise money. It was member retention that did the corps in. You need to check your sources on the history of Fantasia III since you couldn’t be farther from the truth. sorry
  3. A corps can earn $3500 and up per parade in the NY metro area. When I was the director of Bush I've been payed as much as $6000 for a parade.
  4. I don't believe any insurance covers any losses due to "Virus". I literally spoke to a friend today who is an insurance agent AND a retired corps director and this is what he told me when I asked.
  5. I've heard from someone who would know ( Surf admin) that the Surf has taken over a Cadet show, this may be the one and it quite possibly will be at Rowan in New Jersey.
  6. The board of directors are holding the corps hostage because of their own incompetence and mismanagement, So sad a corps with such a rich history is going through such a mess. There is a group trying to step up and save the corps and find a solution that will work for both groups but the present board of directors won't budge. Time is running out FAST. J
  7. Not a rumor, It's true. Not looking good at this time. Very sad. J
  8. Why DCA didn't make one more corps go to Connecticut is beyond me. 5 in PA, 3 in CT. Not smart.
  9. Like I said, it's false to believe 8 corps wanted to break away from DCA, the math doesn't work. Though I have been out from DCA meetings for a year and a half, I know and speak to MANY corps directors and DCA administrators on a very regular basis, The statement that corps were threatening to join DCI over DCA is false. I was a director for over 27 years and an executive director for 3 years, I have 6 titles , 5 as director and 1 undefeated season and I'm going in the WDCHF in two weeks, I would have heard of any talk of a mass exodus if there was one. J
  10. The member corps are the "board" of DCA, the executive committee works for the DCA board, the DCA is under control of the corps. The member corps are the 10 highest scoring corps in PRELIMS regardless of what class they are in. I was a DCA director for over 27 years, I helped write most of these rules.
