There was supposed to be something this week only according to MotoSurfBrass who is far from official. Big news was DCI not doing Alamodome this summer, and that's official from DCI.

They may just be waiting for a time to announce it, but today (the 15th) was the day it was supposedly going into effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tending to agree with what Continental posted Sunday in response to your original gossip titter: "I'm really sick of this "I've got a secret" crap on here. This corps has been through hell lately. Enough with the innuendos." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This corps has been through hell lately. Enough with the innuendos." While I'm absolutely and firmly on board with this sentiment, I also have become aware of some financial details from this past season that were not "wrapped up". Not huge numbers worth the threat, but significant to the recipients certainly. Rumor and innuendo without any fuel dies out quickly. Cadets need to focus on clearing away the fuel of rumor and innuendo ("A friend of mine didn't get paid..."), too, because it's part of that old hell. They deserve grace but they have to fix the business. Maybe that's part of the USB rumor-mill, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple folks have seemed to escape any public criticism too part of the short term issue is probably due to the terrible competitive result and unpopular show - less donations, fewer merchandise purchases etc - already driving a tight cash flow position the wrong directions i wonder as an outsider if they made revenue assumptions that they didn’t achieve? They must forecast as conservatively as possible until things loosen up Edited November 18, 2019 by George Dixon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Only because the thread's falling down the list of threads, can anyone in the know corroborate that, in 2018, US Bands, Southeastern Championship had 32 bands, and in 2019 they had 8 bands? So, I wonder if the even recent revenue-generation from USBands into YEA! was severely jolted by the Hop-gate and hasn't recovered. Maybe the writing is on the wall that USBands is NoT YEA!'s biggest revenue generator. What I'm as much interested in is this notion that Cadets' recruitment was impacted by YEA!'s hosting of the circuit.

Everything I’ve heard is YES the band program has been impacted - they may slim it down in areas where it is no longer profitable and grow it back over the upcoming years. JMO - if that’s the case. Program appears to still be pretty large in the NJ tri state area re this mysterious “announcement” (complete conjecture on my part) >> I would guess it to be a new name/branding for YEA! and USB (one of which sounds very 80s up with people, and the other of which sounds like a computer peripheral) - I’m only guessing that because it makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
