Danpod Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) What were the unexpected costs? I'm not finding anything on their website or their Facebook page. Edit: I really hope this isn't a repeat of last year. Edited August 9, 2012 by Danpod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 After last year, this is really unfortunate. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this time they didn't leave the kids hung out to dry and they've made arrangements for the age-outs as well. I think or, I hope this is just a bumpy patch for them and they've got their act together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apuljushgurl Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Revolution has made the decision to leave a few days early when an unfortunate situation arose involving the equipment trailer. Upon returning to the housing site following their prelims performance it was discovered that the equipment trailer had somehow suffered severe damage, including two broken axles. While Revolution was fortunate enough to be prepared for the inevitable emergencies that happen on the road, the price tag to repair the truck to a working and safe condition proved to be an extremely costly endeavor. Following the completion of Revolution’s 2012 competitive goals, including Open Class Finals, the organization resolved that its best interest would be to get the members and equipment home safely to South Texas. Before the rumor mill gets started, Revolution has had a very successful 2012 season! A $12,000 repair so close to the end of tour is an unfortunate event, however instead of toeing that compromising thin line for a few days, we will go home safely with our heads held high. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, was just telling someone the other day that many corps are one "Oh ####" away from being (financially) unable to contiue operations. Being the son and grandson of auto mechanics I can imagine the logistic and money nightmare this is. Not only the 12K repair bill but how to handle safeguarding the equipment or getting it home in rentals while repairs are being made. Thank you for the info..... And kudos to the corps management for what appears to be a well thought out set of decisions. Edited August 9, 2012 by JimF-LowBari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noneofyourbusiness Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I just feel really bad for the members who had bought airline tickets to fly home or to school Sunday after Finals. Hope they could find housing with one of the other corps for the balance of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I just feel really bad for the members who had bought airline tickets to fly home or to school Sunday after Finals. Hope they could find housing with one of the other corps for the balance of the week. It sounds like they already had found the solution from the DCI.org article.
