Who gives an outfit with such dubious credentials such a " multi year " deal. What a lame decision. It's reasonable to presume that the multiyear portion of the contract is dependent upon Flo meeting certain performance goals. No contract is fixed if deliverables are failed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Just now, DrumManTx said: I just hope FloMarching improves the quality and are in talks with people in how to improve their coverage/placement for this type of setting. If they do that I'm not opposed and the type of coverage they're promising? Hell yes I'd love that, but I've been disappointed time and time again by the quality. For their sports coverage they could probably just slap up a camera and call it good but this? It requires oh so much more and they still don't seem to get that. I agree. If there is any silver lining in any of this, its that Open Class corps get more needed exposure this summer, and they'll be more broadcasts ( 20 ) of the summer shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While my initial reaction is the same here...In DCI's defense...they can now claim their in compliance and not complicit in the act...still SAD!

Quantity does not trump Quality...but agree more exposure is a good thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right.. thats when lawyers get into the mix and organizatioins wind up paying thru the nose on legal fees to prove the so called " undeliverables " were not delivered as promised, or to try and wiggle out of the multi year deal. This is why it would have been FAR more preferable for DCI to have negotiated a one year deal. Edited April 20, 2017 by BRASSO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouooga Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I haven't used FloMarching, but I've heard horror stories. Two questions: 1) Yes or No, will I be able to stream live shows? I get quality might be a concern, but does it legitimately just shut off and/or say no service sometimes? 2) When I buy a UFC or Boxing stream or PPV, I'm buying the main event. If the main event won't play, for whatever reason, I get my money back (and have done so before, UFC's Roku app sucks). Is there any kind of guarantee on drum corps streaming?

You can pay for just one month ($30). If you had purchased before guard, you could have watched all of guard, drums, and winds for only $30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
