CrownBariDad Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Ok -- how do you want to divide up the field at Retreat? 12 works great. Don't mess with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilme861 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 One of the most popular requests out there but it won't be changing people. There's a reason it's been at 12 for so long...it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
year1buick Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Nope. Corps below Madison and the Troopers were fantastic as well. But only the top twelve scoring corps should get into Finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 And then in 10 years someone will say the top 16.......and then the top 18.......and then the top 20...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanInChicago Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So far, this is a no hitter. Instead,how about all corps arrive at Lucas Oil in their street clothes, and the uniforms will be first come first served. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I and my bladder both vote NO to increasing to 14. In a few years we may petition to go to 10, then 8, then (hopefully) be able to handle 6! Oh...and congrats to our new World Champions!!!

bribay2a Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I went to semifinals and thursday id rather see drumcorps than awards ceremonies and tha marines for forty minutes. Thats not giving a trophy to everyone it goes 38 to 25 to 14. Tickets are high enough sat for more drumcorps to be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 These corps are way better nowadays than in past. People say this a lot, but no one ever gets specific. Maybe you could rank all 45 twelfth place corps in DCI's history for us, so we can match up our own tastes with yours and see if we concur? (Off the top of my head, I happen to prefer Colts 1999, and Crossmen 2012, and Troopers 2009, and even Crossmen 1989 to Boston Crusaders 2016.) Or maybe you could just tell us: when was "the past" for you? Is 2015 "the past"? Are 2016's corps way better than 2015's corps? Or if "the past" was, say, 2006 and earlier, or 1996 and earlier, or 1986 and earlier, was there a point somewhere in the middle when Finals ought to have been 13 corps, rather than the 14 you propose for now? And what if Finals is expandd to 14 corps, but next year's corps turn out to be worse than this year's corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
