camel lips Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I agree Sun Devils could move up, probably for next season. That would be a good move for them. Unless the numbers dictate it,,my thoughts are keep it in class a if you are class A ish in size. Win a Class A championship then move up. People like to align themselves with champions. Look at what Alliance did this year?.CorpVets also won a class A championship and has done well in Open Class. You have to walk before you can crawl.

Jeff Ream Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I dont know, but I hope whoever does it and it makes financial sense to do so. I'd hate to see someone go belly up just to be Open class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad people think we have a chance to move up soon, but nobody in our organization is setting any arbitrary targets when it comes to class. We will simply continue to grow our program the best way we know how and let the membership and infrastructure determine what class we compete it.

JohnDonovanDotBiz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) with the right hype on the road all summer in DCI, Vigilantes can pull not just drummers from Phantom and other corps, but horn players as well...... build they hype on the history made this year, and it will happen...OBSESS ON IT. create the goal now in our heads and BELEIVE. imagine vigilantes coming out next year, winning class A, and having the crowd shout the corps name over and over again after open class retreat.. because they BELIEVE and WITNESSED a drum corps win a world title in two weeks. obsess and believe every year this can be known as the 2 week miracle corps...

Fran Haring Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'm glad people think we have a chance to move up soon, but nobody in our organization is setting any arbitrary targets when it comes to class. We will simply continue to grow our program the best way we know how and let the membership and infrastructure determine what class we compete it. There is way too much common sense in that response.
