But I know there are potential members who can’t commit to Labor Day weekend because of band commitments. Edit: DCA membership passed a proposal to allow the performance time a minimum of 8 1/2 minutes. They should be able to clean an 8 1/2 minute show between January and August.

N.E. Brigand Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I just want there to be, say, 50 sustainable DCI corps and 25 sustainable DCA corps. Is that too much to ask? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, they were not positioned with RB name on the assets to be like The Cadets and just do the right thing. It has been almost a month since the article that headlined that half of the WC corps had tainted individuals going as far as naming them. Do the elite corps mentioned in the press release owe the public a rebuttal? Or do they think by ducking out of any rebuttal they will get members anyway and that's all they need to worry about? Their silence just adds fuel to the fire. Edited January 11, 2019 by Bluzes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to find a home for their championships outside of Rochester and Billsport both have their drawbacks imo. more and more goes back now before Labor Day. it's becoming an issue regardless of region 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I guess if Pioneer wants to go the DCA route, I hope they realize that every decision outside of their region is of how much money do they want to lose. And it’s in the five figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within the context of DCI fans extremely high quality performance expectations, enough equipment requirements per corps to produce an elaborate broadway production, national competitive tour schedules, even for the OC, please define 'sustainable' for those 50 corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluzes Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Pioneer was low hanging fruit dci did what was necessary. They (dci / Corps) also owe the public a response from the other corps mentioned in the press. No response/acknowledgment that they also had their hand in the cookie jar is heartless business advice. It is shortsighted advice that the article will not hurt our recruitment (this year) and they are too big to respond. What kind of message is that?

Galen Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It's sad, but it's not at all surprising and as I've said before, it's absolutely necessary if that corps is ever going to set foot on a marching field in DCI ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an issue, for sure. Perhaps an earlier date would require the corps to re-think their show designs... to make them easier to get to "championship form" more quickly.
