My opinion is that the corps will have to be willing to dedicate time, and the directors of the corps will have to trust their corps willing to perform a spectacular show that will give them lots of Visual/GE points along with outstanding music performance. Along with being able to do that, they will have to keep the show CLEAN, thats what ruins drum corps, they get this great show out there but it isnt clean, as long as individually and ensembly they keep it clean they should crack a top 12 spot.
