That is how I conclude otherwise. I am sure they will be very good, but I'm not putting any horse before a cart.............

Does it matter really? Phantom Vanguard has been so quiet, they are going to come out and blow away the louses in Blouse!!!!

The Congratulations should go to DCA - you just go a real good guy as VP. Ok - congrats to all!

Right, because having civil open discussion is such a hindrance. First time ever in the history of DCP a thread skewed off a bit (yet still relative).................

I would agree with you if any of the responses were derogatory towards Cadets2, ,the responders were polite and just adding more information that the original poster may not be aware of. Nothing ever wrong with giving someone all the information out there, we are here to help one another and make it a strong circuit for all involved, right? With that being said, to the originator of this thread, perhaps this will help in further research: DCACORPS.ORG

Two pages of response that have little to do with the actual review. Was I just redirected to RAMD?

That would go over like a fart in church ($1 to my father, rip)

NOTHING is ever how it SEEMS

Factually incorrect. I have yet to read, from an official of any corps, how they stand on the electronics issue. Just because Member A, posts THEIR opinion on it, does not equate how the corps itself stands on the issue and how they will vote.

Well since Born in the USA is anything but a patriotic song, I can't see Empire ever playing it. I

Assuming they do come out and will be in the top tier. I'd like to think ALL the corps will be back in the mix next year, far more then "a third" corps to the mix. Congrats MN Brass!!

More importantly - notice the in the first shot - Louie Storck is wearing a white hat........... Something not lost on this alumnus....... Thanks Cos!

As is insulting shows from another circuit, when the ultimate goal is to have DCA work at its best. You can't do that by posting classless comments about another and think you still have credibility.

I still stand by what I already said, by the way I have attended DCA Congress's, anyone that thinks they are easily pushed around has obviously NEVER attended, talking to people is NOT the same. The member corps that make decisions on change are not easily bullied, and are not "new" to these processes. Some have been affiliated since before the inception of DCI. This isn't their first rodeo. In addition, this sure is getting a lot of attention or something that hasn't even happened yet. Seems like a lot of panic for "it may happen". The start of this potential new DCA corps is no more threat, then any other new corps, it's called keeping the activity alive. You may have little faith in the capabilities of DCA, it's decision making member corps but they've been around for quite some time. Surviving the cyclical changes our our society, this is no different. Changes will be made, they have been for the past 40 plus years, and some changes will be sure to #### off some of the previous generation, but it does not equate to the demise of the organization, in almost all cases, it actually makes it stronger, even if it's not "Back in my day..........."

LETS GO HAWTHORNE

There is a Dinasaur BBQ on West 125th Street in NY Haven't been but I hear its very good

What makes you think they will get their way? The member corps that make decisions on change are not easily bullied, and are not "new" to these processes. Some have been affiliated since before the inception of DCI. This isn't their first rodeo. In addition, this sure is getting a lot of attention or something that hasn't even happened yet.

My aunt lives west of Kingston and her town is underwater and she evacuated. She's very afraid to return............

I heard it was a million people without power, and you are invited to tell my sister, to her face, it was just another rain storm as she has many trees down in her yard - lol I double dog dare ya........ PS - she's much meaner than me!!!!!

Islip, NY checking in - I have Electricity, still very windy. There is a tree down across the street, lots of branches down. Both my sisters are without Elec, my older sister lives further east and there is a lot of damage in her neighborhood

I work in the Paramount Building on Broadway in Times Square - definitely felt it - odd to say the least............. We did not evacuate, but many buildings downtown did and so did Roc Center.

If a corps' inception is claimed to be the cause of the death of another corps, the deceased corps did not do their own due diligence in keeping their own corps alive and it's time to look within to fix said problems then waste time pointing fingers.

I think I said this last year, but kinda cracks me up that the show in the South was in Woodstock, GA, when the show in the north is in Kingston, with Woodstock, NY being just down the road a few miles.

MANY? HOW MANY CORPS HAVE YOU BEEN ASSOCIATED DIRECTLY THAT CAN MAKE SUCH A COMMENT, HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN THIS, OR THIS JUST AN ASSUMPTION ON WHAT YOU'VE HEARD..........

The point, that you are missing, is it was far from "a little heat". Even for where you grew up this would be considered oppressive.
