Never know when an alumni comes a knocking will watch them then. My opinion the come in last mindset is getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the past 20 that I’ve been to shows. You got to call a spade a spade. Way to go to the kids for trying, but Pio has literally been The Joke of DCI for years. Better Ever Day. Worse Every Year. Find me one person in DCI that hasn’t heard that joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Pete Rose... Okay. Choosing Jackson, MS, as the 1993 championship site was an action detrimental to the organization. Who made that choice, and are they in the HOF? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer has had its detractors, but your 20 years they had some good shows. They do not come to the Boston area very often, so most years that I see Pioneer it is in Allentown and Indy. What I have seen decrease over the years is the difficulty (which was not the highest) and the energy. I don’t think it was based on talent, since quite a few I and E prizes have gone to members of Pioneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skevinp Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The more important part of the announcement is the middle paragraph: Pioneer leadership informed DCI that it is moving immediately to replace all current members of the Pioneer board of directors along with selecting a new director for the corps. DCI will hold a follow-up meeting with corps leadership next week to discuss further terms of the organization’s suspension 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we wait... Edited August 24, 2018 by Cadevilina Crown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
