I agree when you say this is a historical time for dci. as we find ourselves struggling with coping with new rules and regulations, I think it's really important to consider the new ideas and the newer style approach that drum corps has now regarding the use of electronics, props, instrumentation, etc... Groups are undoubtedly better than ever and the design teams are really focusing on making sure it's not just a marching show but also a work of art. This is definitely a very historical time for MM.
