A Knight for Life

Hmmmmm, you make a good point my friend, but I am still of the mind that some type of incentives were thrown at DCI from Indy to get the 10 year deal which was gobbled up by the DCI brass rather it was good for ALL of drum corps or not. I stand 100 % behind the rest of my post....

Back in 72 when this all started at least when a corps made finals ( TOP 12 ) they were considered a DCI elite corps and treated as such. Now it seems making finals doesn't mean a thing unless your in the top 8.... Whats next, finals being cut to 6 and 6 more corps can be pushed to the curb and left to die ??????

Grrrrr.. Wake up ya all.... DCI Offices built in downtown Indy at the same time the DCI championships are moved to Indy for 10 years equals only 1 #### thing that every one is affraid to say. TAX INCENTIVES !!!! More money to filter behind everyones back to the ( Bite my tongue hard ) G7 / G8 Super Corps, which are the only corps in DCI's eyes that deserve to stay in business.....

The Belleville Black Knights were all male thru the 72 season, adding the female color guard in 73 - horn line and drum line some time after 1975. Its a shame you forget the Top corps of the ones listed for that time period.

hmmmmmm. Give me a clue then, what was the intent of the change ?? I dont see it at all....

You mean to tell me the corps dont leave the field in reverse order of finish, in a make shift parade formation, past in winning corps to salute them ??? What a bunch of garbage !!!

Im happy for the Teal Sound now being ( I assume ) moved from the Open Class Corps to the World Class Corps. Now maybe Im old, but can someone explain to me exactly what the above statement put out by DCI means ????? ...(granted access to the World Class schedule)... Are they now ALLOWED to LOOK at the WC schedule where before they didnt dare ?? Are they added to the WC schedule this year ?? Do they get to pick which WC shows they compete in this year ?? I dont get the Granted Access part at all and figured it was a good First Topic Post. :smile:
