Jeffreelancer Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 2008 BDB: 8 BDC: 5 Vanguard Cadets: 12 2007 BDB: 17 BDC: 9 Vanguard Cadets: 17 2006 BDB: 16 BDC: 8 Vanguard Cadets: 19 There is another thread about World Class corps having less shows as well. Either the schedule is not complete in the lineups or DCI is trying to ease the travel cost by having less shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1shoodick Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I would say tour schedules are not complete...it is still early for many "open class" corps to have a final tour set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Myusik4Jakassez Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) I would say tour schedules are not complete...it is still early for many "open class" corps to have a final tour set! I agree. I've been keeping an eye on the status of the TBA NJ show on 7/20 (it's the Raiders' new home show), and in just one day the attendance went from 5 to 6 corps. I'm assuming there's going to be a lot more later on, since it's the day after the Surf's show and most of the other corps don't have another show scheduled for about a week after that. Making a stop less than 2 or 3 hours away would make a lot of sense. And even without going to Finals, there's absolutely NO way that Spirit of Newark has only 2 shows!

OldBones Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I couldn't march spirit of newark....only doing 2 shows...*shakes head* Spirit of Newark is doing tour. They are in contact with DCI about the schedule. They will be in Buffalo then continue through Ohio to Wisconsin to Michigan City. They should have about 10 shows this season.

Gbassman5 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 from what i saw, the tour looks pretty similar to the 05 tour, at least for the west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsvalues Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Memphis Sound2007: 21 shows 2008: 12 shows Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Do open class corps make a significant amount of money per performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBones Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Do open class corps make a significant amount of money per performance? $0 per performance. Most if not all corps survive by finding sponsors, doing multiple fundraisers, selling merchandise, and tour fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphguy Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Memphis Sound has done "full" tours every since its inception. I'm hoping the 12 this year is only tentative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shostahoosier Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 When I marched Div III in the mid 90s....our corps had 30+ show seasons...not including finals... Of course we did A LOT of midwestern shows...and even a few shows up in north in Canada...I miss DCM...its faults aside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
