That was never part of the DCA agenda. Which is why the majority of non-northeast corps have more DCI shows on their schedules than DCA shows. It makes more economic sense for those corps to begin and end their seasons in the same time frame as DCI corps. Not to mention, more recruiting opportunities by not losing potential members because they’re not available Labor Day weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory11 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 One problem with DCA is change. They need some younger members within the governing body with new ideas and give some better direction for the future. I bet DCA leadership will continue ignoring the Labor Day weekend issues and keep drinking there beer and eating some hotdogs looking at 7 corps compete. You know the price of admission will continue to rise despite 7 corps but there having a great time here on labor day with 800-900 in attendance for 2022!!! Please.........don't make me laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
