What is G-7 anyway?

[Carolina09Spirit]

So maybe I'm behind. But...I've read about this "G-7" deal. I've read articles on various websites and kind of understand the point. But can someone explain and clarify what this would do for DCI...and how it would effect tour?

The G7 is a DCI proposal by Hopkins (Cadets) and Gibbs (Blue Devils) with backing by Fiedler (SCV) Glasgow (Bluecoats) Valenzuela (Regiment) Smith/Coats (Crown), and to some extent DeGrauwe (Cavaliers). Here are the highlights of what is causing the anger by posters here on DCP:

Hopkins, Gibbs, and the other five of the G7 directors want to:

Create an elite G7 AAA division with just the above mentioned corps;

Relegate all other World Class corps to either AA or A division status under the G7;

Eliminate all support entirely for Open Class corps except for SCV Cadets, Blue Devils B, and Colt Cadets who would be promoted to the A division;

Create an exclusive Cirque type show for the G7 to perform at each weekend;

The AAA, AA, and A divisions would compete in DCI during the week;

If you desire to study the proposal in its entirety, here is a link:

There is plenty of information in other threads within this forum that explains what the g7 is, along with discussions on possible and probable outcomes this year and next.
