This is not the impression that I got from Hopkins's update. Hopkins said the designers would discuss the show but not divulge everything, including the music as licensing is still pending.

Guess I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.

Wow-hadn't looked at that class in a while, now it's getting absurd in World Class. At one point I was trying to be understanding, but after your post, it's hard to support the reasoning.

Nobody needs to get over themselves.... all these corps have the rights to arrange at this point, they are probably still working on sync and performance rights. It's a really complicated situation and as more companies that deal with rights and licensing issues become aware of the the marching arts they have to legally define and redefine stuff that didn't need to be addressed before. There was a time where everyone thought the rights to arrange were also the same as the rights to perform and it's just getting more difficult to get it done. Cadets are an example of that, George has said multiple times that he wants to get the show out there but he just can't do it yet. We're such an integrated world now so you can't fly under the radar, every little thing needs to be approved and now with DCI broadcasts, Clash of the Corps, Fan Network, etc, all that needs to be cleared. Numbers of viewers, potential size of audience, viral reach, it all matters now.

Secondly, of those Open Class corps some of them are just titles, which doesn't really mean anything. Of the corps that released repertoire some of them are just doing original music. No hurdles to clear there. I would say a few of those corps probably prematurely announced their selections without all the clearances probably as a way to help gain membership. I'm sure without a doubt that most of these corps have their press release or video ready to go and are just waiting until they can release it. Drum corps now-a-days are companies, they have a plan, a schedule and timelines. Crossmen are already learning drill they still haven't told their members what the show is. The members have a clue but they're not telling them until they can. Last year, I believe it was the Bluecoats who didn't put any titles on top of their music, full show in hand, not a single idea what the music really was. It's just what it is now.

Remember when we had to read Drum Corps World to find out what the shows were. Patience. lol.

Great post, but I am just a little annoyed they cant even give a TITLE.  I wish most corps would just do what Blue Stars did.  The title gives us a hint about the show, and in MOST cases doesnt relate to repatoire and getting rights.
