bishtom Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I just saw this: CADETS, the BLUE DEVILS, and EUROPE Discussions are underway for the Cadets to travel with the Blue Devils to Europe for a portion of the summer of 2004. According to Hopkins, "The Blue Devils are the most experienced corps in terms of international travel. To have the opportunity to work with Dave Gibbs, Pete Emmons, and the Blue Devil organization makes this experience all the more possible. We are excited needless to say. Possible stops include France, the Netherlands and Germany. If the finances can be secured, indeed, England is a definite possibility All is still in the planning stages but look for further announcements in the coming weeks and months. As always, stay tuned to www.yea.org for the latest on this coming event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 ...then why can't we have DCI on the WEST COAST if corps can travel to Europe? Denver is NOT the West Coast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skajerk Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 (edited) w/Stp: I guess that blows the "It's too expensive to go to the West Coast for finals" theory out of the water. For corps that can't afford to come West, maybe instead of going to Europe or Asia for one year, these "special" corps could help foot the bill for the less fortunate.

LER96 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 ...then why can't we have DCI on the WEST COAST if corps can travel to Europe? Wait, let me see if I got this straight. Someone seriously made an arguement that the majority of the corps (or even just the DIV 1 corps) have the resources to get across the rockies for a west coast finals BASED ON the fact that BLUE DEVILS and CADETS can afford to go to Europe. ;)^ God help the activity if DCI starts making tour decisions based on what a corps that charges 2k to march can afford to do. As for the Cadets and Blue Devils going to Europe, good for them (no sarcasm intended). The stateside shows will miss them, but the rest of the corps will still put on great shows.

In 2001 when they went out to california, dues, (tour fee, tuition, whatever) were in the range of $3k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess that's what corporate sponsorship will bring you. Edited January 21, 2003 by WoobieATL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love ya man, but you really need to know what you are talking about before you post an inaccuracy like this. It's simply untrue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
