What abut Crossmen playing Exit music by Radiohead in 2017. and Blue Knights Playing it 2018.

The DCI MEMO. they want all shows in by the date. Its a mandate.

1-SCV -good show might not be enough 97.50 2-BD -Beggining hot , then it drags.97.45 3-Crown -Great till closer 96.50 4-Cavies -See above , good brass, drums and guard. 95.30 5-Bluecoats -Worst Champion since Phantom . 94,45 6-Boston .Good program , Brass and Drums OK . Guard awesome and effective. 91.0 7-BK -They do what they do better than Cadets 90.45 8- Cadets -Its not what they do ( dislike ) but how they do it .not well. 90.4 9-Crossmen - Best of these 3 .need More 88.8 10-Blue Stars -It is NOT the year of the closer .88.5 11-Phantom - Just bad at times. But also good at times. 88.45 12-Madison -Just happy to be here. 86.8

OK since you asked. DCI CORPS cannot sustain these staff outrageous staff salaries. The only reason these staff members went to BAC was because they tripled their salaries. DCI is a very small group. Staffs jumping corps for money ? Is it OK for members to jump corps if they were to get paid? If you remember staffs went for the money once before with the MAGIC from ORLANDO. So it does not surprise me. It is just not good for Drum corps to have staffs leave org.they have been part of for money. This is not the loyalty DCI teaches its members so why is it OK for staff members ...IT IS NOT . CHANGE IS GOOD agreed.But this is not a staff member. THis was a overhaul and gutted Crown and Cadets.

1 SCV -like the Crown victory year DCI likes to share. 2-BD best on the planet. not this year 3-Bluecoats -clean ,clean ,clean 4- Crown bad guard and design move them to 4th 5-Cavies -all alone here 6-BAC -dont like what they did ,not good for DC. but better than Cadets 7-Cadets -Bad design again , bad design again , Bad design again . Those dresses are terrible. 8, BK - weird design again , weird design again ,weird design again . This is the Hot dog / bathroom slot. 9-Crossmen -squeeze past Phantom . Clean Music side of sheet. 10-Phantom . weak brass. 11, Blue Stars - good brass . 12, Mandarins - WELCOME
