New Additions to DCA?

[MoonHill]

And even thought I don't agree with the 35 rule without a provision for corps that fall into the gap, I never complained about DCI's30 minimum rule for us out west....complained about the recruiting restrictions, yes....the required numbers, no.

And keep in mind I once fielded a corps with 8 brass, 4 battery, 4 guard, and 1 DM...back when there was no minimum.

(One of these days I have to dig out and digitize my video of Nightfire's last performance...it may be the ONLY recording of any type of the corps in show)

At least you have a recording, dude. Most the LA Conquistadors have is people with vague memories of a very small group in white uniforms.

Don't you have some Nightfire pics up on the web? I remember seeing them.

Yeah....on my old personal site....now that you mention it...I think I'll upload them to the old corps photos thread later tonight.

*EDIT* Pics posted....enjoy!

I have audio recordings of them from Walnut in '99 and Riverside in '00....

I don't like the 35 member rule as it stands right now because it does not provide an opportunity for corps with between 22 and 34 members. However I do understand and appreciate why the rule is there. I just think it could be BETTER. Thus, the reason for drafting up an idea for change.

By the way, I remember hearing of Nigthfire but I don;t think I ever saw them. Where do you have the pics posted up at Sam?

What is truely amazing to me is how "mini corps" has grown in the overall discussion of compeditive drum corps

Yeah, same thing for Southern Nights out of Va. Beach, VA. We have a pic over at CorpsReps, but I think that's it.
