No idea if any corps are interested in such an experiment, but I like the idea. I suppose one could find someone else just like them that supports doing something or other in DCI. Its a big world out there. I likewise believe if there was more than a couple of Corps in DCI Field competition that would like to see an" anything goes " Division in DCI re. instrumentation and/ or unlimited numbers of performers Corps could utilize, it would have been brought up for discussion and consideration at the DCI Meetings by now. But the silence on this tends to have me believe that the level of current support for an " anything goes Division in DCI" Field Competition just might approach the same level of support that a proposal for mandatory harmonica usage by all DCI Corps in DCI field competition would generate... in other words, slim to none. Besides, DCI already has an " anything goes Division". Its called " Soundsport". Edited November 14, 2017 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I come to DCP hoping to find drum corps news. When I see the opening page with all the threads and it's the same people commenting over and over, I figure it's a family feud and if you're not in the family, you may as well keep your mouth shut and head over to Redditt.

Anyone care to set the "over/under" on when he comes back, this time? Last time I think it was less than a month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 150 is perfect for the drum corps activity. Leave the 300 plus size ensembles for marching bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a family, it is in bad need of family counseling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually endless possibilities, I would think!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
