Dchristian125 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I was doing some research and I made an astonsihing discovery. There are new corps planning on joining DCI's open class, and a LOT of them. Here is a list of the corps: Vessel Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2018 - Orange County, CA https://www.vesseldrumcorps.org Armada Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2018 - Boise, ID http://www.armadacorps.org *Arsenal Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2019 - Albuquerque, NM https://arsenalperformingarts.org Encorps Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2019 - Brunswick, NJ http://jamwithencorps.org Rivermen Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2019 - Portland, OR https://oregonpaa.weebly.com/therivermen.html Appalachian Sound Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2019 - Atlanta, GA http://mayde-inc.org/appalachiansound/ Appalachian Gold Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2019 - Summersville, WV https://www.appalachiangold.org Hub City Guardians Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2019 - Houston, TX https://www.hubcityguardians.org Lone Star Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2019 - Fort Worth, TX http://www.lonestardbc.org Storm Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2020 - Terre Haute, IN http://indianastorm.net Florida Xpress Drum and Bugle Corps - DCI Open Class 2020 - Hawthorne, FL http://www.thefloridaxpress.org/drum--bugle-corps.html All these corps are going to contribute to the growth of DCI. As of right now, from what I know, these corps are determined to enter open class by the years that they have set. If these 11 corps are successful in joining DCI's open class, there will be a total of 57 corps competing in DCI competitions by 2020. I have listed all the corps websites and I urge you all to visit them and learn more about the organizations that will be a part of drum corps future! If you know any other organizations that are planning on joining DCI's Open Class within the next 3 years, please post them below and I will add them to the list above! *Arsenal Drum and Bugle Corps believes that maybe World Class has room in it for another corps from the Southwest. : ) This is a post that I did earlier but if these Corps make it into Open Class in the years listed, then it would be okay for 15 corps at finals.

POINT #4 is an interesting change... i don't mind the rotation/groups of 3, having judged it in 5 unit increments in band season. it helps keep neighborhoods alive, yet not just automatically slotting everyone up and down from top to bottom. it allows some "on any given day" moments to happen, and we've had a few 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow, DCI itself could be changed forever and it could affect us all. At the same time, it could stay the same and it wouldn’t affect us at all. Regardless of your opinions on the proposals, it’s best to just accept the possibility of change. yes however enough fan backlash can lead to changes. Remember the season they tried to hide recaps and they leaked pretty much every day? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding this, I doubt many of these corps will be going to Championships within their first 2-3 years. I have a feeling many will take the approach of the west coast Open Class corps (Columbians, The Battalion, etc.), which is to take it slow and steady until they have enough to keep them financially afloat before they head to Championships for the first time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying to fill giant stadiums on 1/100th what a major rock group does. seems they heard a presentation about such a thing today about how to do it in a way that doesn't cause issues, and isn't nearly as expensive as one thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'll be interested in the rules voting outcome this afternoon. I'm sure the discussion all day will be rich with debate. I'm particularly impressed that DCI is including the Board Consortium in the annual meeting and, IMO, is a clear display of their understanding where final fiduciary responsibility lies in the activity. At the end of last year I thought GH had begun to morph into a more rational decision process for his orgs. But this ordinal thing has me stumped.
