memphomello08 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well, that may or may not be how it works. If it's not, then I simply don't know why the schedule is not posted by DCI yet. Regardless, we DO have a schedule, and we WILL be touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGreen Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Due to the nature of the 2008 season, and the change in leadership and reorganization of the corps. We are working with DCI through an informal evaluation. We and DCI want to make sure all our ducks are in a row and that we can achieve everything we set out to do. We have been given a tour schedule, and are working out the details of that now with DCI. The change in leadership happened right before the initial schedule was announced. and we are working to fill in dates with other performances, and DCI is looking at that too, so the member is correct. Not mall dates and such, but rather local performances and things to strengthen presence in the community. There is a lot going on behind the scenes at Memphis, and DCI has been extremely supportive in helping us re-envision the corps and build towards a successful tomorrow. If you have questions, you may feel free to email me directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardCorp Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 That's really cool. I guess DCI does care!!!!

bhs alumni Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 That's really cool. I guess DCI does care!!!! depends on the corps (not a shot at memphis...good luck on a successful year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardCorp Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 now why would you say that? depends on the corps (not a shot at memphis...good luck on a successful year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs alumni Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 because DCI seems very selective in which corps they help try to come back...or going through re-organization as seems to be in this case. so at times, yes DCI cares very much....in other times....oh wow no!!!

Jeffe77 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 This is where having Finals in the same location every year is an advantage because it makes it easier for Open Corps to plan ahead and to make fiscal decisions to attend Finals Week down the line.

Wow. That's pretty accusatory. I would venture the guess that DCI tries to help every corps who requests the help, and who is able to manage the necessary changes.

I have heard you say this before and I just disagree. Who has DCI helped more than other corps and how have they done so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs alumni Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) it's not so much the who they've helped that irks me, it's who they don't help. they made serious efforts to ensure Troopers were able to come back, efforts more so than with any other corps...and they should, the troop are beloved and it's great that they are back and as strong as they are. that being said, there are so many open class corps that are on the verge of failure, or already there, not to mention world class corps who have to jump through hoops to try and come out. now honestly i don't expect DCI to come to the aid of every single struggling corps, but if you do for one, you do for all, right?
