The things that make you go hummm yes i Saw Sun is taking the summer off and Fusion is going inactive. We're also coming out of a pandemic in which corps had few ways to make money.

CHRISP Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I saw Fusion announced they were going Class A just a few days ago. I hadn’t heard they were going inactive. If that’s true, it’s not looking good for DCA. Sunrisers are inactive. I haven’t heard anything about Skyliners. Other corps are struggling for members.

The things that make you go hummm I’m sure I’ll be criticized, but still don’t understand why this circuit exists. Other than being training corps, which DCI OC corps already provide, I fail to see the real value in today’s era of performance ensembles.

Same came be said for local town or group music groups. Edited June 5, 2022 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Just now, Poppycock said: And from what I’ve read on here those numbers continue to drastically decrease annually. Just saying! Not arguing that point. I’ve been saying for 20+ years that I’m surprised any corps exist mainly due to cost. Just trying to bring up that the DCA and exhibition (alumni type) corps have purpose other than any DCI connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
