Houston, Do we have a problem?
Galen replied to Old Corps Guy's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Lots of juggling has been going on lately. Tupelo MS is now a "TBD", Barnum show got moved from Bridgeport to Shelton, Pasco show moved to Kennewick (and to a better stadium IMO) just to name a couple. -
2024 DCI Flo Streaming Schedule
Galen replied to spacewill's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Suffice to say they've patched it up a bit: https://www.mtsacathleticscomplex.com/main-facilities/stadium-track-field -
Shrinkflation is a thing everywhere, DCI included.

This season of DCI is brought to you by the letters T, B and D. -
A Great Article on The Cadets
Galen replied to Terri Schehr's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Many courts have online court record searches; depending on what state and jurisdiction (ie state vs federal), you may need to pay for access. -

If they do manage to somehow come back, maybe they should rebrand as the Ensigns. 90 years IS an awfully long time to go without a promotion, after all. 😁 -
Blue Devils 2024 right before the storm
Galen replied to theonlyfizzle's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
BD Fatigue is exactly the phrase that describes how I've felt about drum corps corps in general for the last 10-15 years. And I think it's seeped into more than a few corps at this point as well as far as trying to come up with anything that could actually compete for 1st place. -

Galen replied to theonlyfizzle's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It's not bitterness or saying it's unearned or undeserved- more of an acknowledgement of the seemingly perpetual disparity between what BD rolls out with every year and what every other corps brings out, as well as the lack of overall competitive parity at the top that's been the environment of DCI for the last 10-15 years. To have any other expectations for this season, or any given season for the foreseeable future, would be wishful thinking at best or being in denial at worst. And yes there's a lot of time between now and August but realistically speaking, it would take something along the lines of multiple major staff departures or a sudden unforeseen and unexpected drop in finances or recruiting, and none of those are anything that should be expected to happen anytime soon. -

Doesn't really matter, they're going to do whatever they want and win regardless of what they do. Hell, they could do a full "4:33" show, no playing, no movement whatsoever and still get at least a 96. -

Kinda feel like there should have been some more leaks by now...

Per Cascades' website, there will be some PNW shows this coming season: https://www.seattlecascades.org/single-post/dci-tour-returns-to-the-pacific-northwest

"Where is the love?" Let's be real- it feels like there is very little to love about drum corps these days.

What'll it look like? Probably even shorter than last year.

As a former member of that corps, I wish them luck. They're going to need it.

Another Abused Member Experience on Reddit
Galen replied to IllianaLancerContra's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Thanks- saw this thread first but I'll focus on that one. -
Thank you. Just because addresses and such may be "publicly available" does not justify just posting them willy-nilly on a site like Reddit, particularly in a case like this.

Typical service deadlines are 30 days in most jurisdictions, so I expect that'll be the timetable we see it in.

On that note... TLDR version- both Spirit and DCI are being sued over the events that led to Spirit's suspension a couple years back. -
But what a 2 hours it would be... 😁

a potential problem for stadiums everywhere....
Galen replied to Jeff Ream's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
One problem with the "Push for all grass fields" approach is that the NFLPA probably isn't going to be able to get an agreement on field standards- ie what kind grass mixture, structure, etc. gets put in place and there are some notoriously cheap NFL owners out there, so the players might GET all stadiums to go to grass but there'd be different standards applied, so some fields would no doubt turn out pretty good and others would turn out crap (or stay crap, ie Soldier Field). -

Galen replied to Jeff Ream's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
To be fair, there's only one NFL stadium (Lucas Oil) where this would typically matter each year as far as DCI goes but Indy obviously wasn't built with carting its field in and out in mind like State Farm Stadium or Allegiant Field were.
