This can't be an option because DCI doesn't plan to have a "championship" in 2021...but a "showcase" instead.

Agree Texas is #1...and by a big margin. They are #1 not just in marching band, but also in concert bands. If the top 10 Texas marching bands ever came to BOA Grand Nationals in the same year the biggest question would be who the other two bands would be to make finals.

I had thought about that too, but with finals and a couple of other shows that would be more than a $2000 donation. I have been bombarded with requests to help with donations from MANY different music and fine arts groups. Think I may need to spread it around if I can.

I wonder if those of us that did not ask for a refund for finals tickets, but allowed DCI to keep the money in exchange for 2021 tickets can now ask for our money back?

Probably something drum corps could not do! Not that I would even want to see it attempted.

Not just college. Many high schools in 'MERICA have shooting teams...and not just shotgun. There are also rifle/pistol teams. THE Ohio State University may have more national titles in shooting than in football 🙂

I really like your 2003 pick. That corps really played...and they got better each of the next two years.

Indeed! Thank you Bluecoats! Who should have been taking the field NOW as the final corps to perform in prelims.

Seinfeld maybe

Tonight the Ohio Music Education Association canceled all local state sanctioned events and OMEA State Finals. This amounts to about 60 competitions. Local competitions are still free to run their own competition, but without OMEA sanctioning and no qualifying for State Finals.

A helmet from the Gold medal 2016 show can be had for every $500 donation. Yes, it's double the cost BUT it is from the championship show!

Thank you Madison Scouts! Would be awesome to see some others follow your lead with this.

What this thread is showing is there are plenty of potential congressional replacements living on DCP.

A very interesting podcast with the brass caption heads from Bloo, Crown and Cavies. https://bluecoats.com/podcast?fbclid=IwAR1gT9amCI2d8YbfcZfiwcTu0NzsvkMQimzV_rk32sih5BJkiFsmOSfHe4A

Thanks for this. I am a long time fan of the Scouts. (Who isn't) I appreciate that you weren't afraid to ask some difficult questions and that Chris didn't seem to avoid them. I can understand that he's not really a fan of DCP (neither am I at times), but I hope he knows that many of the opinions directed at him are not an attack of him personally, but are views from some very passionate fans of the Scouts. (Although some, unfortunately, are indeed a personal attack.) Glad to hear that the Scouts are in a better financial state than we may have thought. (All things considered,
