George Bonfiglio would take out a second mortgage to keep the corps on the field... the times have changed. Staff compensation is far more substantial now. even in that era, certain people had a pretty good side hustle going between drill design or arranging and their actual job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. They instructed because they LOVED the corps and were able to take that experience and profit in the HS Bands. After 27 I was paid $25 an hour to instruct winter guard, all because I marched 27! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d take a day in spring training for the kids to reach out for donations The modern-era version of Tag Day. Actually, I know at least one corps that still has a tag day/weekend. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancer79 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I’ve proposed virtual membership and letting those members pay dues so they can go on tour and be on the field but I guess im to understand that DCI owns the rights, audio and video, to the corps 11 minutes on the field. I still think a corps size could for from actual 150.. to 400-500 virtual members. Edited January 12, 2019 by Lancer79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
