Favorite show not in the top 6 Any Year

To be fair, this is typical of how this thread goes. Year after year. To wish it to be different is futile. It’s enjoyable because no one argues about dumb stuff, they just chat. Some folks like to think they have insiders knowledge about staff changes. Some do, some would like you to think they do. But nothing really is confirmed until formal announcements are made after Labor Day. So until then, don’t follow the thread or join in the conversations. Next week we learn what’s true or not.

Convincing Parents for DCI
LabMaster replied to ita.ad.astra's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
One other thing your parents may want to be aware of is a corps policy on member safety. The policy should cover a number of concerns and something should be readily available when requested. The P&P along with their inclusion of a SafeSport program should be in place. A corps I volunteered with requires anyone spending an overnight volunteer period, complete a SafeSport program and again with a second year of volunteering. And the corps has a zero tolerance policy which I can confirm is enforced. -
Convincing Parents for DCI

Marching DCI IS a dream for many kids, but it is a very achievable dream. Do your research, learn what your corps options are. Ask questions. Find the right fit. For your parents, many orgs are happy for parental involvement and support. They can volunteer for a summer or for a few days. Helping an org helps them feel comfortable that their kid is safe and well cared for. At a rehearsal in San Antonio this summer, the number of parents sitting in the sun watching their kids was incredible. For 3 days! Good orgs know how to include kids families. -
Tour food?

Bostons brass was very underrated this year. They did well all season and their numbers at finals (caption placement) were a bit head scratching. But they’ve made a statement that they are in play with the top ranked lines. Deservedly so. I expect continued success in 2025.

Oooohhh, you really got him. It wasn’t a suggestion, more of a thought, based on BD’s approach to not use charts but design drill organically. However, it didn’t seem to work out this year, as a unique approach that it was. It may require a rethink. And that is something they are good at. And while you accuse Craiga of being an immature junior staffer, you may want to review the maturity level of your swipe. And BAC will be ordering. It’s only a matter of time. I’m sure Bluecoats rings this year will be very nice.

2025 DCI / Indianapolis Hotels
LabMaster replied to larry333's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
What does the AirBnB availability look like in Indy? I would think a small group of 6-8 could get a deal nearby. No?
