These three points are very important in life and have applied for me as a businessman. Only the third point would apply to management in a sense. Great points MikeD. A follow up question to all. Do staff have the responsibility to discuss or teach the competitive aspects of the activity, actually touch on it and talk about it with members or allow for a natural understanding by the members themselves?

I had no motive when asking the question. I was seriously interested to read anyones position on the competitiveness of the activity with each corps culture having different approaches. There wasn't anything nefarious with my intent. My personal view is that I certainly understand the need to fully develop a given show to it's fullest potential and that the learning experience is paramount, but I do believe that competition and having a competitive edge can be lost at times. It is a competitive sport.

Why ask what my original question Is, only to write an entire #### page answering the question and providing your feedback? I asked the question because I was honestly interested in everyones opinion regarding the importance of competition because each corps culture is different regarding the same. Geezzz

2018 Prediction Thread
Tone Quality Matters replied to FaustianMachine's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Where did Crown slip? Third place. Jim Ott. Best percussion in many years. New staff in guard but still top 6. If that is slipping then wow, what a year 2018 will be -

What disaster would that be? -
Carolina Crown 2018
Tone Quality Matters replied to cube's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
So, essentially be like everyone else and do nothing to differentiate yourself in brass from anyone else. IYou are going to need to explain why playing almost technically perfect runs need to be curtailed? While were at It, let's just mic 12 members of the brass line or stand there and play layered whole notes for only 3 1/2 minutes. Nah. Crown is in a league of their own in brass and it is a comfortable place to be. Young people come to Crown Brass each summer to be challenged in just the way you believe should be changed. -
Carolina Crown 2018
Tone Quality Matters replied to cube's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Once again, certain DCP hacks had Crowns placement and success wrong for the sixth year in a row. AND for the 6th year in a row, I laugh and laugh at their ignorance and complete lack of knowledge about Crown and the activity as a whole. Congrats to all of the participating corps and their members for a wonderful 2017 -

Good thing for Crown, the judges disagree with your assessment. -
The REAL San Antonio Rough Riders Thread

Tonight, this essentially became a three horse race. Crown and SCV have the most growth yet to come out of their shows. One of those two will win the 2017 World Championship -

When it comes to TOC shows, there is nothing normal or consistent about the judging. Looking forward to San Antonio. -

Maybe the corps in front of them were just better tonight? -
Current plot lines !

I absolutely love all the plots with Crown left out of the championship mix. ;) -

Crowns show from the video I saw felt a bit shaky in places. I imagine all of the changes will take a few shows to refine. BAC has a great show and I take nothing away from them but as Crown continues to lock in all the show changes and feel better with meter/tempos throughout the closer, Crown will pull away. BAC 2017 is a far cry better than last season. Hats off to them! -
DCI Orlando - July 8, 2017
Tone Quality Matters replied to Barneveld's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Though I am beyond thrilled that my Alma Matter Crown had an exceptional night and summer thus far, it is clear that this has set out to be a phenomenal year for the activity as a whole. So many great shows and amazing kids! Cheers!! -
