Nevermind that I'm 40 and never auditioned, but I'm pretty excited about it! (Is GH somehow still bumbling this corps?) Oh - I thought when they say they are the “oldest” corps it meant something else. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being the case, there's nothing they could likely announce yet until the process is a little further along, and the same goes for DCI. My guess is that the scheme to create a new org for Cadets will be allowed, DCI will ignore their own rules that make a new corps (which they would technically be) compete in Open Class before applying for WC, and anyone who was owed money from YEA will have to suck it up and take whatever the bankruptcy court deems they can get out of the bones of the YEA organization. It's the most straight-forward solution to the situation. On the upside, the number of 50 year olds who've been invited to the next camp are at an all-time high. 😂 “Too big to fail” is a real thing. What would it benefit DCI to force Cadets to go open class? Makes no sense. You gotta do what you gotta do. I think this is indicative of a much larger, systemic issue with DCI. The present model is just too expensive and cannot be sustained much longer. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 or... Cadets aren't a "new corps" but an existing corps simply transferred under a new umbrella! I know - common sense "crazy talk" on my part. Which this thread is sorely lacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No small irony will be involved if/when DCI gives Cadets dispensation on the probation period. they aren't a new corps. Oops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire DCI community knows the house is on fire, yet complete silence from YEA. ridiculous - nothing is "on fire" - rather GROWN UPS are in charge and working toward success Cadets haven't had such a strong winter underway in terms of excitement and potential since 2014/2015; just my outsider view 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew immediately that they just left the door open for the Cavaliers, which of course they did. They were lucky it wound up being a tie, IMO. Yeah I remember that tear clear as day...it was leading to the company front. We weren't "lucky" about anything though so slow your roll. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
