  1. Something's coming, I don't know what it is, gonna be ......
  2. Great, then who is the senior person that knows anything about the activity, or as you put it "rules"? Sounds like he would make a decent Director of Marketing, not CEO
  3. or, you know, they could be still selecting music and getting permission for licensing.....
  4. It was the caption head, not a young percussion staff member. At least it made room for the current perc head who, by all accounts, is a good guy
  5. ...and there are a large number of non "scumbags" who are involved PLUS the thousands of members who benefit from the experience of marching in drum corps. Sounds like the axe you want to grind is aimed at individuals, not the activity as a whole.
  6. Trust me, the person that is taking over has no experience in drum corps at all.
  7. Didn't he go to Crossmen first? And was brought there by former Crusader Director Tony Smith?
  8. Genesis would have finished 4th or 5th in Open Class according to the GE judges rep scores.
  9. Absent any relevant posts to the topic, I will put forth a few positions that SHOULD change (in my opinion)......hopefully to generate conversation not Julie Davila or SCV related 1. Boston Crusaders need a true top 3 brass arranger. Will Michael Klesch follow Tom Hannum to Boston? 2. Phantom needs a better guard design team 3. Cadets, if they want to break into the top 4, need a better visual designer 4. Troopers - Entire guard design and teaching staff, hopefully one that brings talented members. 5. Cavaliers need to swap out brass staff and visual design. No need for explanation 6. Blue Knights have obvious needs at the top of the design team. 7. Crossmen need a better brass staff and new visual designer 8. Madison? a total reboot with a design team that can create a cohesive and contemporary program. 9. Academy - see above. 10. Genesis - see above, above.
  10. Answer these question: * Are they turning over staff and members yearly? * Does the corps have outside sources of revenue than membership fees? * Is the membership fee commensurate with number of days on the road and performance opportunities? I do not believe their is mechanism to move a corps from World Class to Open Class. Perhaps their needs to be an intermediate class (like WGI) that has corps that share similar on and off field attributes- Music City, Genesis, Cascades, Spartans, Gold, Guardians, Southwind, Battalion.....
  11. I'm getting 2016 vibes here.... "to dream, the impossible dream..."
  12. No, but the new design team is clearly inferior to the one Mike MacIntosh couldn't get along with and drove out. They were no slouches either.
  13. Adding Tom Aungst didn't help Music City Losing Tom Aungst didn't hurt the Cadets
  14. I think it has something to do with the fact that last year's percussion arranger pushed out the rest of the design team and got what he wanted..... high drums and nothing else. Wondering if management is feeling like they back the wrong horse now?
  15. All corps must report to the DCI Coordinator one hour prior to the start of the competition for any modification on these times! These times supersede all other times and are the only official ones to be used!
