They kicked out the Renegades for excessive partying issues. Let in a corps dci booted due to performer safety issues? Death sentence for the circuit And as DCA promotes itself more and more to younger members it would be one of the most stupid things DCA would do to just let Pioneer in. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly ones I've seen. I miss Revolution and Racine Scouts and Blue Saints and (possibly to return?) Les Stentors, all of whom I'd seen at O.C. championships in the past six years. I miss Coastal Surge, and I think they managed just one competitive season. That said, if the problems at Pioneer can't be resolved to DCI's satisfaction, then it may indeed be better for drum corps if they shut down. +1 for missing Racine. Me, too.

For old eyes like mine, it's REALLY HARD TO READ. Anybody else agree? From the sheets to articles, to schedules to everything. I am not a fan. It's off topic, but I could not agree with you more. I hate the new recap format. A PITA at best. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithHall Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Best thing to happen is for Roman to step down/retire. Gut the educational staff and probably the BoD. Start over. HOWEVER, doing that might be the end of Pioneer. Racine Scouts and now Pioneer (possibly gone). I don't think DCA would be the best answer for Pioneer either!

Same issues as Minn Brass and Kilties have with DCA. In the east, most schools do not go back to after labor, not sure about Atlanta CV and Gold they may face these issues as well. Not hurting them right now, would like to see CV win it all this year but will certainly medal. OT & FYI: GA schools mostly return in mid-August. There were a number of seasons where The Kids had to miss a week of school (one time, 2 weeks) due to DCI Tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Mid-West DCA corps depend on dci shows in their region prior to going East. Would be like they didn't kick them out, would assume some liability if anything happens at their shows. DCA is not even an option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that would poison the relationship if Pioneer was not allowed to be in DCI but still at DCI sanctioned shows as a DCA corps.
