It change that I am pushing the status Quo is not an excuse for failure, make things happen for the good. None of this is easy but what kind of worthwhile change ever is. The point people are making, me included, is that there is NO reason for the companies to participate in such an arrangement as you have postulated. DCI can't force a uniform...percussion...brass....etc company to participate in their activity. I see the companies just deciding it is not worth the dollars spent for no return, and then nobody benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwed up as DCA is, no way in hell Might be interesting to have Pioneer go thru the evaluation process which I think is mainly financial. Then again that means Roman would have to open the books. man thinking of an elderly distant relative who had cognitive and other (glug glug) problems. Dude could come up with messed up justifications for his actions and he honestly believed what he was saying. No idea of Romans mind state but “that’s the way I always did it and no one complained” can be a justification you will never break.

A lot of great people from dci work at all these places they could push for change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmurrey74 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 DCI needs to step in, but I think it’s time to close the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are being way too idealistic, and looking this from a corps-perspective, as opposed to business-oriented. They do not really need DCI expertise. They could just tap band people as needed from around the country. DCI-involved people working for them now may not want any part of what you suggest, knowing that it is a non-starter financially. It would hurt their own credibility with the companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through DCI people is just a segway to the bands.. Just an easy access mainly because many if not most involved in DCI are the same in the band world. Now the mother load is those same designers are through DCI, DCA, Soundsport BOA, local bands etc. and many successful are. These uniform companies grab a guard or drum line and rest assure those staffs are using them throughout their projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI should be the last ones to investigate anything to do with their baby. Their investigation track record, from what I've been told, is not very good. Well if it is the case, then clearly there are violations if any of this 'rant' is to be believed. I simply don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the malfeasance is proven, Clean house... start over fresh with the same positive goals in place. If they can't or won't, unfortunately I agree.

I am a change agent worked in business but I will never be that here if only 1/3 sticks it's a good day.
