  1. I heard the entire minicorps competition last year from a relatively unbiased standpoint and I predicted that it would be very close between the top few corps. With scores as close as they were you can't even come to the conclusion that one corps was "better" than the others. The first place corps won simply because that's how the numbers turned out. I think one of the judges even had the winner in 4th place. Drum corps is about the performance, not the outcome. Even if one corps did get totally screwed, which simply did not happen in the minicorps competition last year, what's the point of going on about it?

  2. I think that is the direction some members of MCA are wanting to go. That is fine for some of the minicorps but there are many minicorps that have members in common with (or are even subsets of) competing field corps, so a rule that restricts membership like that might hurt both minicorps and field corps, especially those that have recruiting trouble already.

  6. When did anyone say that the minicorps should get the revenue? The minicorps have to pay to participate in I&E in the first place. Not only that, but they also have to pay for the insurance and performing rights and such, just like all the field corps (and maybe alumni corps, I'm not sure) are required to do, without getting compensated at all for their performance as the field corps and alumni corps are. That doesn't seem selfish to me. Actually it seems quite unfair, and it's one of the reasons why the minicorps of which I am a member is unable to participate in I&E this year.

    This thread is a totally different issue, ie whether the minicorps champion should perform at the alumni show, because it might attract more spectators to the alumni show in the same way as the minicorps competition attracts spectators to I&E on Friday evening, and because it would be a cool way to recognize the minicorps champion.
