Football is not an academic class but a youth competitive environment. ..that is part and parcel of the scholastic sports environment. Parents and their kids move from town A to B all the time, and the kids participate in scholastic activities where they live, be it band, sports, drama, model UN, etc.....

Maybe it's time for Madison and Rosemont to open up to female membership. I think back in the day (pre-2008), when drum corps required more brut strength and athleticism, having an all male corps was an advantage. Now, that type of physicality is not required and you are losing out on a lot of talented female musicians. Seriously?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS Athletes who's families just happen to move and transfer from school X district to a nationally top ranked athletic school A are scrutinized to the nth degree. And they should be!!!!

I want youth to chose their own path. Mandating that they cannot march where they want seems to be exactly that. They are marching where they want. Nobody forced them to try out for that corps. It was of their own Free Will. However, the nature of fairness withn competition, social cohesivness, and respect for others, mandates that rules of transfer and competition must be established. There are consiquences for your Free Will choices. Free Will does demand responsibility and consequence of action. So if you made the wrong choice, consequence, even suffering, teaches that respect for others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 2 hours ago, Fran Haring said: How is that? Not being snarky here... just an honest, uninformed question. LOL. A clarification here. There is nothing wrong with self promotion. BD, for example, should promote themselves. Come see us at the rehearsal site this afternoon, come to the show and see us perform in the stadium, come talk to us after the show. All are wonderfully fine! But come see us warm up in the lot while the competition is going on in the stadium, and don't bother with the early on corps because We are the real show. That behavior is what goes against the DCI mission. Again, clarification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also point out the huge difference between a NCAA player, getting full tuition, room and board, and major league sports where millions are paid vs DCI where THE MEMBERS PAY TO PLAY. Absolutely. You'd also diminish the talent pool. There would even be more of the "If I can't get into the corps I want and I go elsewhere then have to sit out a year to get where I want, the heck with it." At 5k USD a year or more to pay to play...
