DCA simply cannot afford to lose more corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey folks - having been at the meeting on said Saturday, I can only say that most of last year's membership issues continue..That being Brass numbers.. I have been away from active involvement due to a number of semi-serious health issues over the last 6 months - and after 40+ years of observation, Minnesota must not have any more brass players or converts that have an interest in the program, or would rather go out of town to march... I'm waiting to hear about their next situation decision, because we should already have 1/2 of the drill taught already.. Hoping to hear soon.. BTW - anyone who cares about the unit, past present or future - has a stake in MBI Pat Edited May 16, 2019 by goalieguy BTW - anyone who cares about the unit, past present or future - has a stake in MBI 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One point out of first place in 2016.... and one of DCA's most consistent top-tier corps since they first broke into the top 5 in 1998. Their sudden demise/downturn has been stunning.
