KVG_DC Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Cadets went the C2 route. Which was the nature of my question that started my thinking on this. It offers yet another model that brings kids looking into doing corps but not ready to tour alongside Cadets alumni in DCA. That surely gives the up and coming members a heck of an experience as well and probably sells a number of them on the activity as well as their parents who may have been resistant to letting their kid tour or spending the money on the fees. Edit to add: I believe Cavies do a number of things with high schools as I know my alma mater once had them in for a clinic weekend. Although I suspect a lot of the corps do this sort of thing.

dcsnare93 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) YEA/Cadets fielded two - Xmen and Cadets. Are you sure that's a rule? FWIW I think both these corps (BDB and SCVC) should just move to world class but keep the same tour (or maybe do ATL to INDY or something). Open is supposed to be a developmental class and they've clearly moved out of that criteria for a number of years now. I understand the financial issues. Surely something can be worked out. I had completely forgotten about that. I'm not for sure about it, no. It could have just been an idea that was floated when Division I became World, and Division II & III became Open class. The abbreviated tour schedule is most likely why they'll remain in Open, but I get where you're coming from.

N.E. Brigand Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 FWIW I think both these corps (BDB and SCVC) should just move to World Class but keep the same tour (or maybe do ATL to INDY or something). Open is supposed to be a developmental class, and they've clearly moved out of that criteria for a number of years now. I understand the financial issues. Surely something can be worked out. I think maybe financial stability during the recession helped these two corps relative to the rest of the Open Class field. Ten years ago, SCVC and BDB were fifth and sixth, respectively, in their division. Spartans were notably stronger than them in that year--and nine years ago, Spartans won the class, leading these two corps (and others) by five points. Since then, though, only Oregon Crusaders have bested them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them do a really abbreviated World Class tour -- they clearly belong in that class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Think that's definitely PCs best show since the Spectrum show. Really straight forward and fun. Enjoyed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeZ Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Pacific Crest is good. Wish the whole show could have been Pat Metheny...rather than the awesome 30 seconds we got at the end of the show. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
