Liahona Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 12 hours ago, imcbdit said: I understand and agree that there are many decisions that factor in to a choice of corps, especially the choice of corps at which you will "age out". And loyalty to staff is certainly an important factor. Some members audition and chose to stay at their first corps. But surely you agree that some choose to march their first corps just to gain enough experience to "move up" to another corps. In fact it's probably the case that most of the guard members we're discussing marched somewhere else before finally auditioning and making the corps in Carolina. So I would suggest that finals placement did factor into these members' decision-making process. The Carolina guard has a reputation for being one of the elite guards in drum corps. It's almost unheard of for a member to move from a medalist corps to a corps who finished nine places lower and nearly missed finals. Can you cite another instance where a large group of members moved from a 3rd place corps (who won their caption) to a 12th place corps? I'm sure the members will have a good experience marching at Boston for the same staff this summer. But they will often be going on much earlier in shows, perhaps performing in daylight instead of under the lights. Rehearsal days and show days will be very different just due to reporting and performance times. Their former corps is very popular and has a huge following everywhere they performed. The experience will be somewhat different. Of course all this is a moot point if Boston medals and wins the colorguard caption! It's just a very unusual situation.
