Thank all of you for your helpful emails and support! Keep the leads coming! Have about 8-10 left!

Fixed! Thanks!

Hello Everyone, I know this isn't the marketplace, but there is a local high school (Pensacola, FL) that could really use your help. They planned a trip to Atlanta and ended up not being able to fill the bus and had to cancel the trip. They asked me to help sell the remainder of the tickets, and I thought DCP would be the best place. If you know anyone that may even be slightly interested in going, could you please let me know to contact me. The exact tickets can be found in the marketplace and they are way under face value. Moderators, please let this go for a day or two. I really want to help the band. They have already lost over $1,200 on the trip, and that is a lot these days. Any help, leads, or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! My email is sopmaster1103@gmail.com

48 HOUR TICKET SALE!!! Section 223, Row 7 I believe the tickets have all been sold. Email me if you would still be interested. I have had a couple orders fall through in the past week, and currently have 4 pending orders. All pending/held orders have 24 hours to respond/pay. After that, I will offer to the next person on the list. sopmaster1103@gmail.com Gabriel

Last Ticket Update: 7/18 (ONLY 14 Tickets left!!) Dear Fellow Drum Corps Fans, I am trying to help out one of the local high school bands (Tate High School in Cantonment, FL). They planned a trip to DCI Atlanta and could not fill the larger charter bus, so they are needing to sell the remaining tickets. The tickets are in a premium spot (not group tickets), right at press box level. Here are the remaining 18 tickets: Section 223 (Row 5, SOLD) Section 223 (Row 6, 6 tickets) Section 223 (Row 7, 8 tickets) The band paid $50 per ticket through the Spirit Organization and they are wanting only face value $40 (no processing fee). USPS Priority shipping and handling on all ticket orders will be a flat $6 per order. If you are interested in buying a larger quantity, they can sell them even cheaper. Paypal payment only. Contact me if you have any questions. sopmaster1103@gmail.com Thanks for your help! Pass the word! Gabriel

Yes, BUT they release the Finals VOD's WELL after the DVDs are released for that competitive season. That way, if you want to watch Finals for the most recent season, you have to wait almost until the next season begins.

I like your ideas. I think that a future Live stream of Finals should only be offered in a package that includes the DVD. That way the DVD sales would either stay the same or increase.

Which question? Ohhh, the personal one that had nothing to do with the discussion or original OP's question? Nope, sure didn't and don't plan to on an internet forum. But again, I understand where you are coming from. Hopefully, DCI will offer Finals on the FN in the future.

I understand where you are coming from but I do believe it would cut into DCI's biggest item, their Finals DVD, and Finals attedance as well. Maybe DCI could show it live ONLY with no on-demand afterwards? It will probably happen soon.

That is so awesome!! Is it being used?

Here is my opinion (Please don't neg me for it) Streaming finals would cut substantially into DCI's DVD sales as well as attendance numbers. And, I know this seems selfish BUT I feel that finals is a very...what is the word...sacred/historical event. I think if they do offer it live in the future, it should be LIVE only with no on-demand or playback option. I am a high school band director and as we all know, teachers don't bring home very big paychecks. However, I save a small amount every paycheck so I can fly or drive to Indy (from Florida) every year at the end of the summer (during our band camps) to witness Finals. I know if I can do it, most anyone can. It just takes planning. Anyway, just my opinion.

I just took two charter buses full of high school students to DCI Atlanta for their first drum corps experience. After the show, they couldn't stop talking about all the corps they liked (which were very different person-to-person). They may have spent a whole two minutes talking about results and the rest of the trip and drive back talking about how amazing the groups were and begging me to take them back next year. They forgot about the results 5 minutes after they were announced. I would write more but you get the point.

This forum has been very refreshing and positive. Thank all of you for speaking your minds and opinions in a professional way. It's been nice to read through. Oh, and thank you guys for posting the twitter comments!

Yes, Winged Victory was the ####.
