KenDrum Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 From a Dynasty Newsletter, Dynasty USA / Blue Devils Dynasty announces the end of an era with the Blue Devils organization. “The Blue Devils have been an amazing partner over the last 10 years. The organizations competition record has set new standards in the drum corps activity and Dynasty was proud to provide the equipment to make them a force over the last decade. The Blue Devils have been a huge part in helping us produce the finest Brass and Percussion instruments on the market. The Blue Devils have pursued many avenues over the last couple of years to create a stronger identity for their organization. The business endeavors of the organization are not in line with maintaining Dynasty’s current market plan. We wish the best for the Blue Devils and look forward to pursuing exciting new avenues for the growth of Dynasty USA." said Mark Schafer President of Dynasty USA.

liebot Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Best thing to happen to BD since Todd Ryan. Dynasty horns are gross. Don't know about their drums, but the horns. . . blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifer Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The business endeavors of the (BD) organization are not in line with maintaining Dynasty’s current market plan. What do they mean by that? What "business endeavors" - maybe the BD Entertainment wing? You'd think it would be classier of Dynasty to let BD announce the change first.

MikeN Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's a shame, but that's how business works - sometimes goals don't align anymore. Let the rumor mill commence! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) What do they mean by that? What "business endeavors" - maybe the BD Entertainment wing?You'd think it would be classier of Dynasty to let BD announce the change first. It might have something to do with BD's "System Blue" branding strategy ... Who knows? It is for sure that BD has done amazing things musically over the years, considering the absolute crap quality of Dynasty horns (and I never like the sound of Die-Nasty snares too much.) It would be amazing to see what they could achieve as a partner with Yamaha, or another quality instrument maker.
