2012 DCA Rules Congress - Baltimore, MD

I'm not sure, but I would think that there is nothing illegal with using them in a pre-show warmup now, in DCA or DCI.

As I said, that might be wrong though.

That is correct. There are no restrictions on instrument use during the "pre-show" time frame in DCI.

I just hoping the DCA judging community will have the cajones to punish bad balance since DCI to this day does not.

They probably won't though, and just think, in 5 years DCA can get thunderous goo too

let's not go to far in the future. DCA may not exist in 5 years.

I'd say the DCA product we see now won't exist in its present form (obviously), but what about a DCA with maximum corps size of 80 performing inside a hockey-type venue?

Fire away!

There are FAR fewer venues of this type than there are available stadiums. If you are going to scale it down, your only practical option is a gym.

You might be right, John.

I do know this . . . .

Hockey-type facilities exist in these locations:

Hershey

Reading

Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton

Rochester

Syracuse

Hartford

Bridgeport

Baltimore

Allentown (next year)

Newark

Binghamton

Buffalo

and the list probably goes on and on.

In 2010 Cabs had a Pre-show that never made it to the field. I still have it memorized and it had the only solo I ever auditioned for (and played darn well I might add). :tongue:

Even on Delmarva there are rinks in Harrington DE, and Easton MD (including a curling team!)

Well people. I have "competed" in every decade since 1962. (over 45 Years) Seen a lot of changes in that time. In all areas: Junior, Senior, and All Age.

As far as I can tell. DCA will be gone as we knew/know it, in 5,6, maybe 8 years. It will just be a part (Division maybe) of DCI.

I call whats done today: "Band Corps Field Theater".

Good Luck, Enjoy, Have Fun. Your talent and quality can not be denied. I hope you all have your BEST Season ever !!!

(I do not hate you, or what you do at all. Just not the "Product" I want. We all have a different taste for what we like. Nothing wrong with that.)
