If they make the decision to have their eveluation on a day that their indoor programs are on the road, is a choice they make, and should not be laid at the feet of DCA or DCI............ No, not that the corps is also running winter guard/indoor percussion -- with the way competitive guard/percussion work, many members planning to be in a corps will be in their school's or another group's WG/IP line until April and unable to make the corps' rehearsals until then because of scheduling conflicts between the two independent groups. I think DCA at least accounts for this, though. I don't think they just count heads at the rehearsal they show up to.

DCA wants to evaluate corps before April 1st. During that time in certain parts of the country (Especially the South) tons of people are involved in WGI. That means that numbers are lacking in Guard and Drumline until...... May(being that WGI Percussion is so late this year) So a Corps could have a hornline of 26 people and still fail their evaluation due to missing the number. Do I personally think someone should field a corps of less than 35 people ... Probably not...But I think someone needs to take a look at the evaluation rules and dates for for the future! Again Not speaking for my corps... but I'm sure you can all read between the lines a little!! show lineups are usually finalized in April. Hence the date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigW Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Figured CT would stay A- right now the DCA website lists Tradition, the T-Birds, Chops, Excelsior, and the Southern Knights as the 5 right now. I have no clue if anyone from Open will move down. My guess is when the deadline hits, we'll officially know if anyone makes that decision. With the 5 right now, I figure the competition to be pretty intense. Any one of the 5 that think they can take a coffee break and assumes things are 'good enough'- will be a bit surprised, shocked, and disappointed when the rubber meets the road at a show.
