I guess they didn't think they could get away with the "we had thousands in cash stolen on tour, please help!" scam again. I mean they could have at least tried. It's sad that DCI needs to be a watchdog to keep corps on the field. People incapable of running a business will continue to start/run corps. Some will last longer than others, but bad business practices win out eventually. Yeah? Will we? Did we find out the truth about Revolution last year? Impulse when they collapsed? Oregon Crusaders when they were begging for money to tour? Magic? Southwind? What seems to happen is these things fade away until people forget about them and the outrage has died down. It's the same, tired, DCP story. A handful demand answers and accountability, while another handful insists on baselessly defending every failed corps and says "hey let's just wait and see, we don't know the whole story". At what point do these corps stop getting the benefit of the doubt? Have any of those stories ever been that the corps made a lot of the right business decisions but ended up being just unlucky and ran bad for like 3 years in all financial aspects? I know it sounds negative and pessimistic, but these stories are invariably irresponsible corps management. I see approximately zero scenarios where any reasonably competent board/director would let any corps attempt a full tour if there was a chance of having to pack it in mid-season. If they knew it was going to be tight, why not adjust their touring schedule? I know there are penalties and whatnot for pulling out of shows but how is that a worse scenario than saying "f### it, let's see how far we can get!!" which is what it seems like they did.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, good one.

Fixed.

This from the kid who had "FTV" in his sig shortly after finals...what does that stand for again?

Maybe they sold the hall to pay Aungst to bring all his staff there and force all his kids to march there.

Hey East Coast Jazz sold there hall and they turned out ok, right? right? Bueller?

I read threads when I see a new reply because I expect there to be some kind of discussion on a discussion board, not one advertisement post and 15 bumps. I'm actually pretty disappointed that the forum admins allow a thread with ZERO substance to stay at the top of the open class forums like this...

Is it really necessary to bump this stupid thread every freakin week? I for one find VK's overhype super annoying and bumping this thread only adds to it. I have nothing against the members or administration of this group but all you fanboys out there have really turned me off to this organisation. Way to create one less potential fan for vk, morons. P.S. Teh intrenet is serious business

This from someone who recently had 'FTV' in their signature next to 08. Glass houses?

fixed considreing you only made one for your corps, not every corps. also please don;t make one for every corps because that would be annotying.

If you really believed that, you would have went back this year. See the part about "commitment".
