Wanted to see what all the buzz was about in 2014 so I watched BD rehearse at YSU instead of going to Massillon show. Wow, that's something I wish I could have experienced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because they can offer more to not play, and they would rather rehearse, or is there another reason? I would guess that a lot of these groups, once they hit the road, need to be performing in order to pay the bills. That probably isn’t the case with blue Devils. I think it's because they can afford to. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder if the reason they cut back on the "B" and "'C" corps touring is to assure they have enough funds to maintain the status quo for the "A" corps ?

But I do know that the big dog always ate first when I was around the Madison organization in the 2000’s when Scouts, Southwind, and Capital Sound were all in the MDBCA.

Yeah that sounds great but the reality is Music City can’t afford to tour all over America. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem...as soon as they create as many early season shows in the West as they have elsewhere. Keep in mind during the first two weeks of the season, the West has shows only on the weekend available to them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B and C corps were never intended to be national touring corps, and they pulled both units back into fulfilling their intended purposes and scopes. Vanguard did the same with their B corps.
