This proposal is disappointing to say the least. It seems like these 7 corps directors have inflated their egos to the point where they whole-heatedly believe they are, "the show." [begin sarcasm] Obviously they are at the top because they work harder and are naturally superior to all the other corps, if the other corps wanted to win they would. Because of this all audience members come to watch them, and them alone. All other corps are a nuisance, an intermission, a warm-up act to giggle at and say, "how cute!" Because of the G7's obvious overall and permanent superiority, DCI should give them more money, and all the power to make decisions. Of course they are the only ones who should have a say, because they are better than everyone else, and since audiences only care about them, it doesn't matter what is best for everyone. Competition, screw it. It's not like anyone could ever beat a G7 corps anyway, just give all the money, sponsorships, and interested members to the G7. what's best for the G7 is best for everyone, because the G7 is everyone. (everyone that matters anyway). [end sarcasm] How sad. I can't see how these directors could discount the quality education given at other corps, even corps that are currently classified as "world class." This is a power grab and nothing else, however these directors convinced themselves that this is best for everyone is a mystery to me.
