That would be awesome.  Would 'The Company' qualify as an all-age group?  Bring'em all over!!!! It'd be a heck of a party.

Definitely all-age. As is Jubal, who has appeared a few times in DCI. Last year those were the top three corps in DCE.

OK, that's how I understood it. (But I've never seen said rule book.) Yet Jim said that CT was seeded based on their DCI score at Dublin rather than on having no DCA score. Jim?

it may have been used as a reference, but the bottom line is no seeded score at a DCA sanctioned event, boom they went on first.

 

and with the judging system using EASS or whatever its called...holding scoring in blocks...really, it doesn't matter as CT proved

For my two cents (if my opinion is actually worth that much), I just hope that no corps participant )be they performers, administrators, designers, or teaching staff) ever think about "if so-and-so isn't here, then we can get a place higher!"  That is pretty much as antithetical to excellence and achievement as you can possibly get.  Where do you get satisfaction from that?  

We're all fortunate to have Kidsgrove make all the "extra" efforts it takes to contribute to DCA in such an excellent way.  Anyone that doesn't see that has a real personal issue.  If all you want is a trophy, they don't cost much at stores . . .

preach on brother

Jeff, based on the passage of the rule book that Spandy quoted, Jim has been shown to be correct that a DCI score is now acceptable in DCA. That is to say, it wasn't just a reference point, and had CT earned a higher score in DCI, they wouldn't have gone on first.

So on the topic of International corps... Did the Kingston Grenadiers count as international since they were from Canada?  In common sense terms, I'd say yes, but they were able to attend DCA shows on the regular.  @Fran Haring any insight?

key words are North American

Jubal is planning to go to DCI in 2018.  Very cool. Hans Kloppert and the crew!!!
