Oh my, you could not be more incorrect. It's in deep discussion by the powers that be.
There is next to no chance DCA moves championships off of Labor Day weekend.

Don't count on "Lemar" being back. Or Lamar for that matter.
-
With any luck they will keep Jay Murphy & Tim Salzman and increase their roles
Probably retain brass & percussion arrangers
Wipe the slate clean of all guard & visual sr. staff
Bring back an old visual designer or 2
Bring in an old Cavalier or 2 in as consultants.
Those would be steps in the right direction
Well in that case, please remind us in December or even later. I can rest until the hype begins. Some of those who may audition might want to know sooner.

Here is what I have learned from the TOC...
1. Order of appearance matters
2. The directors of these corps bit off more than they could chew, with the exception of putting a gun to the head of the DCO body and demanding more money for themselves.
3. My disgust for them (Gibbs, Coates, Glasgow, Hopkins, Fiedler, et al) is unabated.

Let's hope Pioneer us assessed whatever penalties the rules call for. Remembering back to the days when RB ran A/A-60 and was quick to enforce rules violations. As a man of principle he should ensure Pioneer is treated with similar by-the-book tactics.

"bang for their buck"? Is there a ratio of membership fee paid to points scored?
I agree for all of the blood sweat and tears that the volunteers, staff and kids themselves sacrifice to present a top notch performance, its not part of a circus act, it should be looked at as more competitive, given its the year of Surfs anniversary, they mindset probably diverted a little from the competitive edge that other corps have. There is potential and talent but for this season I think the focus was on fun and dedication. Im quite sure these kids expected more bang for their buck. Good Luck Surf, keep the train going forward, you are a very talented bunch!

I can not imagine how little the real world demands are for you that you took the time to express indignation over this.

Blue Devils are in an entirely different league when it comes to design. Sophisticated and engaging all at once.
It's traditional drum corps and theatricality.

Don't forget Xanadu!

Cast ?
What happened to members? Students, even?Bushwackers going all pretentious. ####. I wonder which artistic director or producer came up with that one.

Sounds like a great show concept. I liked it in 2014 when it was called "Noir Nouveau" by Blue Devils B

Animal Farm will help move the Crusaders up the competitive ladder and entertain fans

Sorry, but if the Crusaders show is based on the concept of Conquest and they don't play "Conquest" this could be a bigger swing & miss than last year...

Revamped staff? Hasn't M. Hamilton been with the corps for years?
Was the staff the reason the corps had to beg for funds to go on the road?
There are numerous shows on the East Coast, looks to me like The Raiders cant afford to leave New Jersey until they leave for tour, if they leave for tour..... and of the only 2 other corps with single digit shows - one is from California and flies to the Midwest and the other is a second year corps.
-
Here's a quote from someone in the Bridgemen who knows my son on his facebook page:
>All of your fan club that you made last year are wickedly proud of your choice of the Raiders. You won't be able to miss your already growing fan club yelling for you from the stands . . . do good young man . . . you have landed in a magnificent corps and program!
And there was a member of the Bluecoats ('14 and '15) at camp this weekend who had marched Raiders who told my son he was in a good corps. He wants to march Bloo and she told him 8 current Bluecoats marched Raiders.
I have no doubt that open class corps is financially less secure than most world class corps but the Raiders seem OK to me. You never know though, I know a guy who marched Teal Sound and had gone through all the camps and even move ins only to have them fold before the tour started. And they were world class. Unless you march BD (they're VERY financially sound I hear), there's always a risk.
Seem financially secure? You may want to look a bit deeper. The Raiders tour less than every other competitive Open Class corps and still had major issues getting out n the road. It doesn't matter if a corps is World Class or Open Class - good management provides for a stable organization. After the fiasco of 2013 I would be very, very wary of them.
-
Sammy Hazo? Close personal friends, are you?
Furnish new horns? This is a corps that barely tours and almost folded mid season 2 years ago.

Thoughts on Adam Sage at Crusaders as Visual Coordinator and possibly Program Coordinator?

Boston hired Adam Sage as Visual Coordinator. Not a bad move.
Not sure how wise it was to keep the Visual Designer from 2014, but perhaps it was more the fault was that of the Program Coordinator than Designer.
-
Right!
Any idea who is replacing Jamey Thompson at Phantom?
Is Leon May staying at Crown even after they (unsuccessfully) tried to replace him with Pete Weber?
Who is Boston bringing in to replace Program Coordinator & the drill designer?
Can we all agree here now that the last page or so of comments havn't a thing at alll to do with the topic of off season " staff merrigorounds" ... the thread has been hijached... and that perhaps the mods here have all fallen asleep the last 24 hours. ? They usually are on the ball, and reign the DCP'ers in, when the comments begin to stray so far off the mark regarding the OP's topic, that we now are reduced to the ridiculousness discussion of what alleged time killing things a few MM's do on bus trips between show stops. ( which could perhaps make for an interesting thread topic all on its on, who knows,... but its certainly got nothing to do with this thread topic. )
-
Right. E.Hampton took over from O.Carmenetes in 2010? 2011? Has the percussion program improved ? Doesn't appear to be according to scoring. His act is wearing thin.
The percussion is heading in the right direction. Ellis had a great book for the kids this past summer, and if he is still on board, look for them to continue to improve.
-
Yes you are missing a lot. SCVC has well constructed musical program that provides variety and texture. It is engaging to the audience and performed well.
Genesis is big.
So am I missing something, is SCVC music program really that much better than Genesis? Genesis music program seems to be way ahead of the others in Open Class.
-
Miles ahead? That's somewhat incorrect.
Genesis......horrible numbers management DCI! Yes they need to clean but they are miles ahead of anyone thus far.
