    Hello all,

    does anyone know if and when dvds/blurays of the 2018  DCI champ finals will be available for purchase? Took around Dcis website and didn't see anything 

    If last year is any indication, around November 15th.

    I don't know if it is official or not, but I heard that the board asked for Scott to resign from the board (once they were made aware of the info listed above) and he did.   

    Can anyone confirm?

    I don't see his name listed in the article on Pioneer's website. With all the research and links provided, maybe the OP didn't have a chance to check with the organization.

     Except that the reply above was the comparison between what Star of Indiana did and what Boston Crusaders have recently done.  As if they were simiilar, but they are far from similar in most respects. Context is everything, Slingerland. Star of Indiana started out with the 2nd richest Man in Indiana in 1984. ( Bill Cook.. multimilliionaire ) who had a Son that marched Star, and who looked at what it would take to quickly move a Star of Indiana up the ranks quickly in DCI. Star was funded with principally his money, and the Corps never started in Open Class. They started in World Class, and shot up the ranks quickly and almost immediately with their well funded Corps right from the outset. Cook brought in top national staff  from other Corps almost from the beginnings of their Corps there in the mid 80's.

     Boston Crusaders however, had no principal revenue source. They had been up and down for years since the 1940's, even into their bankruptcy years.. almost folded on a number of occasions. A few years back, 2010, the Mgt changed hands, and they put in a 10 year plan to raise more money, seek out multiple and diverse revenue streams, and restructure their organization from top to bottom. It took a fews years of even moving down in placement, in order to position themselves to raise the money they would need to be more competitive long term. There was no sugar daddy here that fronted most of the the money to improve things from top to bottom, and right from the getgo.. When staff at other Corps wanted more artistic freedom, more money, and/ or just a change of scenery or fresher challenges in 2016, Boston financially now was able to take advantage of staff looking to make a change. Nothing new under the sun with this, as dozens and dozens of staffers and marchers change Corps each and EVERY season and have done so for decades. Corps at the top do not develop marcher talent " in house " either,  lets be " intellectually honest " with that as well. Most top 12 Corps with feeder Corps don't  get even a quarter of their marcher talent from their " in house " feeder Corps, and I'd imagine you are aware of this too,

     The Star of Indiana AND the Boston Crusaders should be applauded for the manner in which they were able to attract staffers and marchers to their Corps. But they are not similar at all in how it was done. Star of Indiana had a phenomenal run of 9 years ( from 1984-1993), and were exceptionally well funded throughout. It took Boston over 75 years to be organizationally strong and creative enough and to develop diverse revenue streams for themselves in order to finally take advantage of the opportunities that presented themselves to the Corps in 2016.. Just sayin'.

    Could you please explain/elaborate what you mean in the part I highlighted? Thanks!

    The "$100,000 prop" was an invention by somebody over in the Carolina Crown thread.  I tried to set the record straight but I failed....the real question, what's up with Mike W and Jim C spending all morning at the airport renting a fleet of helicopters? And what on earth would anyone do with the 1:20 Scale Titanic replica seen passing through Bloomington early this morning on a flatbed??  And, bribing the Lucas Oil Facilties people to open the dome tomorrow night?  I have no direct knowledge of these things, you understand....

    Oh and btw the way, Waldo intends to Feast on the Beast before the week is out.

    WTF craiga??? The helicopters were suppose to be a secret!
