Will DCA be around in 5 years?
grenadasmoothie replied to GetOFFmyDot's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
That, apparently, was a corps director, not a DCA official? I'm just saying that news from last weekend should be coming from a DCA official, and many folks I know who were in Atlanta are in transit today. -

Anybody who could be sharing anything is likely flying home from Atlanta today. Today's for buying DCI tickets, anyway.. Let's worry about DCA news tomorrow or Wednesday -
DCI 2020 tickets
grenadasmoothie replied to Josh Siebers's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Got my Allentown tix. Friday only, committed to my DCA corps on Saturday. Nice lineup on Friday though! Section G, Row 32. -
Giving Tuesday: Support Cabs 2020 Season
grenadasmoothie replied to DCP NewsFeed's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I had the pleasure of seeing the start of the 2020 Cabs' season yesterday. Great things are afoot in Hawthorne! -
Bushwackers- going, going, gone?
grenadasmoothie replied to Algernon's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Yup, in my marching days, Cos always said people come to a show to see the Cabs. Half of them come to see us win, half of them to see us lose! But, yeah, most years at the Wildwood show, the grandstand's about 70% blue, even though it's Cabs' show. Fine with me, as long as their money's green! Similarly, I go to the Hurricanes' August show every year. The years that Cabs aren't there see less than 2/3 the attendance of the years they are. -
Bushwackers- going, going, gone?

So hello all. Bush announced their 2020 open house details today. To be held on Sunday, December 1. Not denying I've seen/heard/read things have been a bit messy in Bushland recently, but it sure looks like someone jumped the gun on the obituary ๐ -
Most Successful SMALL Corps?
grenadasmoothie replied to KeithHall's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
Mandarins back when they were small, Academie Musicale, St. Francis Xavier Sancians, and Railmen. -
Will DCA be around in 5 years?
grenadasmoothie replied to GetOFFmyDot's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Mini-corps, absolutely. But some of those couple dozen member competing corps, let's face it. They were brutal. -
Will DCA be around in 5 years?
grenadasmoothie replied to GetOFFmyDot's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Nope. 75-year-old corps will not willingly accept morning finals as a warmup to someone else's event. Some stuff should change, but this is a nonstarter. -
What is the average age on the field now?
grenadasmoothie replied to Jeff Ream's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Nah, my hero's the 57-ish Cabs TUBA!!! -
What is the average age on the field now?
grenadasmoothie replied to Jeff Ream's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I believe my corps ranged from 15 to about 56. A bunch of 15 to 18s, some early 20s, alot of late 20s, a couple 40-ish, about three in their 50s. Picturing about a half dozen other NE corps, most of them appeared to be mostly teens, with a handful of 20s, 30s, and 40s. I know of one 62-ish baritone in one. So I guess it varies from corps to corps, sometimes by section within a corps, too. For example, Corps A's guard might average, say, 20, their drumline 18, and their hornline 28. -
Staff Changes - DCA version
grenadasmoothie replied to Algernon's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
In most states, NJ included, I believe, non-profits do not pay sales tax on purchases. -

I can confirm the Bush move. Sort of merging into an indoor program in Wilmington. Imperial Dynasty, I think? -

Positive Brainstorming/DCA
grenadasmoothie replied to KeithHall's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I'm too lazy to go back in the thread to find the convo about recruiting at band shows, but Caballeros will be at at least four, starting this Saturday at our brass caption head's school, and including the Allentown college band show and prob the MetLife BOA (?) event. We'll have current and recent members, with video and info, as well as an (alleged, at least - It's me this weekend ๐คฃ ) adult, in case parents have questions. Just pointing out that most corps do this, at least at a couple shows. -
Class A corps outside NE - what happened?
grenadasmoothie replied to JimF-LowBari's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I think it's pretty much you show up, you get about a 48. Play a note or two, take a step or two, and you break 50 ๐ -
See you at DCA World Championships!
grenadasmoothie replied to lcarlton's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Good morning DCP & Williamsport! About to load up Cabs' swag for 7 AM setup. While drinking my first of what will surely be many cups of coffee, caught Alan Buell on the local TV news talking up today's events. -
Prelims AND finals moved to Saturday
grenadasmoothie replied to ykw's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I know this is minor in comparison to the competitive aspect, but., with this change, let's face it, there are likely to be even fewer people at prelims than some of you here have been predicting. That means, essentially, that the corps' merchandise operations are losing a day of sales. If you weren't planning to buy corps swag, please find it in your budget to buy something from your favorite . If you were planning to buy something from your favorite, please consider buying from your second and third favorite also. On a related note, I can't wait to reveal the special DCA weekend limited edition Cabs "Out of the Box" T and tank design Saturday morning! -
