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??

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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
