dcifangirl Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) The show sponsor/host pays a fee to DCI to host the show. They (the host) also have to pay a judging fee, transportation costs, and hotel costs for the judges and co-ordinators who are assigned/work the show. When you add in all the related costs to host a show (stadium rental, etc.), for some show hosts the smaller panel could mean the difference between making/ losing money from hosting the show! Exactly this! Generally the West Coast shows have the full panel at this part of the season because the number of World Class shows they host are centered on one weekend (or one show two weekends for BD). (NorCal for SCV/BD/Mandarins - SoCal for PC/BD) so they are only spending this extra money a few times. On the East Coast and Midwest - the corps are sponsoring more shows over a more lengthy period of time - so it's not as big of a return on investment as it is for the West Corps world class weekends. The other factor is audiences in the Midwest generally have more accessibility to see late season drum corps - the ticket sales for the smaller shows increase dramatically as the season goes on. On the West Coast you have ONE weekend to see everyone live and then they leave. The shows have a larger attendance, make more money, and the corps can justify spending extra money on a full panel. It's not a conspiracy...it's supply and demand. :-) (Edited phrasing on a sentence) Edited June 27, 2016 by dcifangirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barigirl78 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) It will also be interesting to see Blue Stars in that mix. Yes. I looked back at 2015 scores and was reminded how much the three corps changed positions throughout the season.
