I defend my work My card used to have the name of your bank on it, too. Different division, and you were forced to buy us, but "The Wells Fargo wagon is a-comin' down the track..."

Anyone, and I mean anyone, who's connected to music performance will recognize the drumline shown as being an HBCU-style, if not an actual HBCU school. Again, simply, why not choose one of the many posted videos of the corps at the center of the article instead of substituting a completely unrelated image? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of the article is that the way DCI is structured is idiotic. And DCI calling itself a governing agency is idiotic if it doesn't govern something as fundamental as this. That's what most of us are discussing because we understood the main idea behind all of this information. Neither you, nor Acheson, nor anybody else gets to say "but what were we/they supposed to do" anymore. It's past that time,. Surely you understand that, which is why it's surreal to see most of your posts on the subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A news outlet using stock pics/visuals. That almost never happens. Poor DCI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So others here need to stop asking for innocent heads to roll. It shouldn't be surreal at all. Am I the only one willing to defend the innocent until proven guilty? What's surreal is that I'm, apparently, the only one here who's willing to for the betterment of the activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep reading that the only power DCI as an entity has is keeping Corps out of DCI sanctioned shows. Other than that it’s”we have a policy but if corps don’t follow it... well they can’t be in a DCI show.... and..... they can’t be in a DCI show”. It’s as if corps don’t want DCI to have more power because DCI might actually do something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
