General rule of thumb: if BD announces their show before you announce yours, you’re doing it wrong.

Bluecoats 16 and SCV 18 say hi

And I’m not really buying the “securing the rights” reason anymore for the delay.

So magically each corps that hasn’t announced yet has taken until now to all secure the rights, and they will all be magically secured at the same time (despite being vastly different and numerous sources of music) right before the season begins??

actually in several cases that really is true from talking to people. it's not always as point click and pay as some people like to think

That’s... kind of scary, isn’t it? Like what if they end up not getting the rights?

thats why they start in August and hold off on announcing. Madison 11 is the example of what happens if you don't get it. By May, pretty much everything is settled. And also, sometimes corps make changes as the winter goes along. So if you announce, then keep changing stuff, people wonder if Hopkins is involved

What’s so magical about the May date?  Why does everything get settled by May every year then?

I understand that securing all the different rights involved (performance, sync, etc.) isn’t just point, click, and pay - that part I get.  What I’m referring to is this idea that all the corps waiting to announce are waiting for the rights to fall into place.  Then - poof - they all fall into place around the end of May/beginning of June - always, every year, like clockwork.  Doesn’t seem likely at all.

Maybe a small portion can be attributed to that, but the vast majority that wait to release seem to be purely following the trend that waiting as long as possible to release builds some sort of hype about the program or doesn’t give away some sort of competitive advantage or prevents the corps from being criticized too early for their design - whether any of that is actually misguided or not.
