Forget Woodwinds – Beware of WGI

Hockey Rinks are something like 80 feet x 200 feet. That's not too much smaller the the amount of surface corps utilize now. Yes, I envision ensembles (casts?) in number of 90-100. That would more than fill the space without having to amplify the entire front sideline. So, as another poster mentioned Blast, yes. A bigger, enhanced production that would be enjoyed by an audience viewing from now-elevated seating.

I'm not sure an arena version is a practical evolution going forward, but do believe the concept needs to be studied over the next decade. There are benefits, maybe not enough.

Blast was very amplified

When was the last time DCI reduced the number of members per corps?

Maybe never?

Two things come to mind:

First, wasn't there only one MM change in DCI's history, from 128 to 150?

Second, does anyone know where the number 128 came from?  Did school buses hold 64 people in 1972?  I first think in some combination of 64k but they didn't have computers then.  So, why 128?
