I don't disagree with your point, but I don't respect throwing one corps under the bus when so many seem to follow the same "boundary-push" plan to nudge proposals into discussion. BD isn't the only one to push the limit of the law. Bloo got busted running sound remotely before it was legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He forgot to remind the lady to wash off the salt as soon as she could. Wonder if that location was around Scituate.

xandandl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So far I am liking what has been approved for the policy changes (viz., Order of Performance after San Antonio and the Plan B option.) I note "what the audience approves and appreciates" as a trend in the comments of Mark Arnold, Jim Coates, Dan Acheson, and David Glasgow so far. At least at what the DCI communications office is releasing to date, there is a definite emphasis of realizing that the corps can't move without the ticket sales and fan donations no matter how esoteric or complicated the genius of the show designs and wishes of the music majors. (Don't mean to step on toes here.) Art and Financial life have to be in sync. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liahona Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Quote DCI CEO and Executive Director Dan Acheson presented the idea of having the corps prepare a 7-8-minute Plan-B performance specifically design for these scenarios. Plan-B would be a stripped-down version of the corps' current production or could be a completely different collection of music with just battery and brass instruments. "If you can't carry it, you can't play it," Dan said in summary. Once the idea went to motion it was approved unanimously by all in attendance. Does this mean that plan B is a given for ALL SHOWS? ...or just certain shows? Edited January 6, 2018 by Liahona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically any outdoor show that gets moved indoors due to inclement weather (i.e. rain). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
