If you plan to do likewise, and want your voice heard, start by adding your name here. Nope. That's not what the activity needs. And "add your name here" is a pretty stupid forum thread, tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that kind of the point of the thread? If you aren't going to support DCI, why not, by extension, withdraw support of DCP? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your decision not to and you will hopefully respect mine. Doug Edited January 28, 2019 by DFA1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given the crazed reaction to G7... which was deserved after seeing the Power Point and the intent that lie under it... it would be a real undertaking to do so. I think there is an opportunity for positive change, and yes, the chance needs to be given them. The problem will be if that ends up a mess... Exactly, positive change is what we can hope for. I know the petition to remove Acheson received over a thousand signatures from current and former members so I can positively say that alumni and current members, myself included, will be the force for positive change so that we can shed the negative impact of Hopkins, Roman, Stevens, and countless others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know,corps aren't having anything other then normal issues filling slots. DCI doesn't seem to be having any problems selling tickets to shows. From what's been posted by DCI,despite the "Failure To Protect" article,and numerous posts on DCP and Reddit, nothing of substance, on matters like Acheson,were addressed during DCI's Winter meeting. This just emphasizes what I've said it before.Until it hits their bottom line DCI will just try to weather the storm. Unfortunately, I don't think that 1000 or so signatures on a petition,that has no "standing" ,will phase them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes this whole thread rather silly. The proof will be in the pudding. And we won’t know until well into the season whether attendance and spending is down or not.

To me,one of the most telling signs that fan outrage isn't resonating with MM or their families is that,despite everything that has come out, corps membership doesn't seem to have taken a hit. Also helps,that tickets for a lot of DCi events were sold before the ______ hit the fan,and are non-refundable. So if you're like me,and already purchased your tickets,you're stuck.

Any idea what potential members and their families are told about the mess from last year? Guessing corps mailings on improved reporting and safety but any info on why this is being done. Let’s face it, unless you are on DCP or Reddit or get DCW the only info you get would be from a corps. So how many people know of this mess?
