CROSSMEN program announcement today ?

The G7 have run DCI for the last 20 years. They are the reason ( If it is ) BROKEN. Why would DCI give them back the vote. Even after there coup failed ? G7 wanted only the G7 corps to have weekend shows and the other 16 or so corps only shows from monday-friday . All regionals would be G7 only and its not the top 7 corps . Its who Hopkins and Gibbs pick. See BOSTON out , Cavies in. At least till some of these corps are not scoring in the top of DCI anymore.

Wrong again. your talking DCI board of directors voting . DCA ,WGI ,and band have nothing to do here. sorry. Ok lets give cadets the vote because they have a hand drumming class.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG. ALL CORPS HAVE 150 MEMBERS , SO ALL CATER TO THE SAME AMOUNT OF STUDENTS. The advantage that more voices make better decisions is called democracy. The voices of many outway the decisions f a few.

The G7 wants the controlling vote at the DCI BOD table. 7 out of 12 votes. these corps have Contributed at every level . Thats WHY DCI is in the predicament it is. when These corps were ON the DCI board was when all these changes were made to Alienate the fans ,ticket holders and souvenir buyers. A request stating that we need the controlling vote of the DCI BOD table or we are leaving is in bad form. Not the way to run an organization and one I would not support or defend . DCI is not for the corps with the highest budgets , IT IS FOR ALL . Look at the mission statements for these corps. I believe these 7 should re read them. Making better human beings through music and the arts does not mean , only the higher budgeted corps make better humans, but ALL participants in every corps. If these G7 have ideas on how to help the future of DCI it should share them with all corps and the DCI BOD.. DCI is not for only the RiCHER , higher tour fee , higher placing corps . But ALL CORPS. Since this is the second attempt at a coup on the DCI board they are not to be trusted with the majority vote. PROVE YOURSELF to be trustworthy, keeping the integrity of DCI , their fans and supporters, in mind first. Its a NON PROFIT >>> So higher budgets do not matter. HigherTour fees do not matter. they should all balance out end of the year. DCI should NOT be for the rich students but ALL students. If a young man or women wants to better themselves through participation in a DCI corps , the amount they can afford to pay in tour fees or their skill level , should NOT limit their ability to prosper as a human being. This is what this G7 PROPOSAL IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. Higher , faster , louder , higher scoring , more toys , higher budgets has all to do with competition . The DCI board should NOT be run by competition but by ALL who participate. If the west coast corps wanted all the votes because there budget is more than the CADETS and CROWN the EAST coast corps would have a fit. Thats the same as they are doing to the other WC and OC corps. Do they deserve a vote . YES. Do they deserve the controlling vote . NO The G7 is looking for 7 votes. Give them 5. Give them 5 of 21 votes. Since they have separated themselves into this group G7and have separate shows ( The TOC shows ) . the group should receive 5 votes . The other 16 corps in WC should receive a total of 12 votes .With the OC corps receiving 4 votes. Voting members should be voted on by their separate groups. G7 , WC , OC =21 votes . With DCI executive Director having a VETO on all rule changes and changes to the DCI By laws.
