SFZFAN Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 So at this point this is nothing more than a rumor, correct? Isn't there a policy against that on DCP? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCIfan90 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 If this is enforced, then DCI execs. should move all of their offices outside in 100 degree weather and do their work there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassClef Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 As someone who marched, I'd be okay with it, if DCI would provide air conditioned facilities for all practices, for all corps. Otherwise, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripper Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Excerpt from DCI Code of Conduct see section D in bold all directors have to sign off on this CONDUCT AT HOUSING SITES a. All housing arrangements must be made prior to leaving on tour, at the absolute latest. Corps should communicate with appropriate Drum Corps International Tour Event Partners early in the spring, supplying all necessary information, outlining specific needs at their respective facilities, as well as the corps’ estimated times of arrival and departure. The corps is responsible for any additional facility costs beyond the scope of the Drum Corps International Event Contract. b. Corps must abide by local/state/federal rules and regulations including the prohibition of alcohol, tobacco and drug use on the grounds of any facility contracted by Drum Corps International or a Drum Corps International Tour Event Partner. This includes the discarding of empty containers, ashtrays, etc., on facility property which could be construed as having violated the law. c. Corps must adhere to the wishes of the facility administration including respecting those areas which are marked “off-limits,” including those specifically expressed as well as those which would be considered to be obvious by basic common sense. d. Corps must display sensitivity and common sense in dress codes while at schools, especially during administrative business hours and if summer sessions taking place. Shirts and shoes that would be deemed appropriate in a normal school setting should be worn and changes of clothing should occur in an appropriate place out of public view. e. Corps must be sensitive to their surroundings and to public audiences, including utilizing language that is appropriate for professional and student populations. f. A fundamental goal of Drum Corps International is to leave each housing site in a better condition than that in which it was found. g. The appropriate, proper and legal handling and disposal of waste products, especially garbage and sewage from food preparation, should be in accordance with health codes and facility administration standards. h. Use of the Drum Corps International Housing Inspection Form is required by all corps. Corps management and drum majors should check-in with facility administrator before allowing corps entrance to the facility. This pre-check should expose any potential facilities challenges and will facilitate discussion of usable and “off-limits” areas. Final check-out should occur before the corps leaves the facility and a copy of the Drum Corps International Housing Inspection Form should be kept on file should an issue arise after the fact. If damage should occur at a housing site, it is the responsibility of the corps to make arrangements for resolution prior to departing from the property 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsband Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Corps do enforce this rule for when their members are INSIDE the housing site. As well at "clinic" type events where members are actually interacting with HS students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Corps' are ambassadors of DCI as well as their own communities; and while out on tour they are considered "guests" who are housed at local schools around the nation. Therefore, if a corps wants to have "bikini / swimsuit" or "shirtless" rehearsals which goes against many of the host school dress-code policies at the housing sites, the corps either needs to abide by the rules and regulations of the host school or find another housing site. It is a manner of the guest respecting the host. Edited January 16, 2011 by Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at your typical marathon athlete (sports bra + tiny shorts); marathons somehow are "decent" enough to show to millions of TV views. Amazing!
