DCI Southern Mississippi - Hattiesburg
sanjoseDCfan replied to mrk's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I know it is a bummer that there are no refunds, but the sponsor cannot assume all the financial risk in case of rainouts. The risk gets spread between the sponsor and the paying public. Don't forget, the sponsor has already paid the for the venue, the flights for the judges, transportation for the judges, hotel rooms for the judges, the show fee to DCI, participating corps housing costs, food was already bought for the concessions, the EMT people were hired, etc., etc. If we all don't share the risk, no one would host shows. We are already losing sponsors every year (thus all the complaining that there are less shows each year). -

A Cost-Cutting Proposal
sanjoseDCfan replied to IllianaLancerContra's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It is generally like this already. Most corps do not leave their region until mid-July (there were a few exceptions). The major costs for transportation, food, and housing are the same whether you stay in your region or not. You still must travel, house, and feed the kids between shows - which can be far apart in the regions you mentioned. Travel, Housing, and Food are the BIG costs. Midwest may be the most workable as the corps are closer together. But think of the distance between the Spartans in NH and Heat Wave in FL (1500 miles), or Cascades WA and Gold in CA (1500 miles), or Battalion UT and Genesis TX (1300). Last year Crusaders hosted 2 shows and there were only 4 corps in attendance (BAC, Cadets, Spartans, and 7th Regiment). Crown, Spirit, Bloo did not attend, in part, because of the distances. It would take Crown at least 3 days of travel to get to the MA show. Also, the other eastern corps are just not ready until mid-July each year and would probably not travel much anyway (Surf, Raiders, Heat Wave) As for reducing the number of vehicles, that may help some. Thank you for trying to help with presenting ideas, god knows we need them! -
I seem to remember that when BDPA made the announcement last year they stated that they were returning BDB to its original roots and mission to provide a more local program for area youth (Northern CA). I don't think we will be seeing them return to Indy in the near future unless they revise that mission.
