Didn't a former member of this discussion forum often use the term "Pageant Leeches" or something like that? Seems it might apply here?

Word from the Jannuals was that they had liquidated assets, sent no representation to the annual meetings, and it was voted to suspend their membership. If that is so, it will be difficult to be sure.

If you're taking flak, it usually means you're over the target. One can fly away and avoid the flak, or one can open the bomb bay doors.

DCI, as currently constructed, rarely passes up an opportunity... to pass up an opportunity.

i think it was said non member status for the year?
I read that as DCI's decision regarding their competitive status only for 2024. I can't find anywhere that the other corps voted on the membership issue. I thought it was two separate issues/processes. IDK

Isn't this also going to be the other member corps' opportunity to vote in SCV's membership status?

You could get the Drunk Corps guys out of retirement if you wanted to really go spicy.

Having spent a week one day in Casper, if one is putting any credence in the journalism capabilities the Casper Star Tribune, it would be be misplaced.

Wasn't the meeting recently? They announced the new replacement. No news about the vote on their status? If I missed it, I apologize.

Genesis went "propless" last summer, I believe. Most likely a cost saving look into the matter for them? Maybe someone in the know could share, if that was the case?

My guess is that DCI saw enough to say ok. But, in a couple of weeks, the voting membership of the corps will decide under what circumstances and potential restrictions this return takes; after SVC pleads their case (to the voting membership).

might have been. so long ago now and i don't have the time to dig through the DCP archives
Found it... it was 2013. Richard Cranium wrote another manifesto changing from G7 to The7 (page 1) Troopers board response (page 88)

Wasn't it the 2012 Jannuals that they tried again? The one where the Troopers BoD wrote the open letter calling it out?

It's not a three-peat until Dan Potter asks if there should be an asterisk because of covid. 🤣

You're absolutely correct, I apologize. No one on DCP has ever nitpicked the 'costuming' of the 'cast members and performers'.

Can someone tell me what the Troopers yell at the end of the show?
I believe I read elsewhere its
Troop. Sun.
I could be mistaken.

I still think they've got something more in mind for that rope, and that sun, and maybe that DM, before it's all over
They should at least try to be historically correct. The picture is I saw had a Confederate yellow sash on the Union "uniform ". The 11th Ohio cavalry was Union. Yes? Anyways, I guess it's just a little thing, but they tout the ties to Fort Caspar, just pay historical accuracy. I guess. Or not.... I dunno.

This just in... Nobody did anything about anything that you wanted them to do something about.

At first this part annoyed me too until I looked into it some more. That was the speech Charles de Gaulle gave when surrendering the French army during WWII. This part of the show is supposed to be chaotic with sounds of sirens, bombs, and with the battery playing sounds of artillery. This was a moment in Matisse’s life where he had a lot of internal conflict, not only with France’s surrender, as he was very patriotic, but also his decreasing ability to create art the way he always had due to his illness. This segues into the ballad “Both Sides Now” which is staged so that there are two sides to his life at this point - his old life of being a famous painter in peaceful France versus his new life of being a bed-ridden artist in wartime France.
With all those things considered, I think BD does an absolutely beautiful job of representing this through both of those movements. After doing the research, the Charles de Gaulle speech/battery feature has now become one of my favorite parts of the show!
Some might say that if the creators and the consumers of a product that goes that deep to convey the message makes it harder to appreciate the product on many levels. As opposed to say... Troopers who stated up front, 'Hey by finals week, we're gonna lasso that MF'er.'
