It is my understanding that each organization receives a single share based on their class for each attended sanctioned DCA contest regardless of weather conditions affecting the competition. This compensation is determined by DCA and is disbursed to each organization at the conclusion of the season minus membership fees. Open Class organizations receive a larger share amount than A Class. It’s also my understanding that each individual organization can negotiate additional performance compensation with individual show sponsors. The agreed negotiated amount is a direct payment made to the organization from the sponsor. I’m not aware of any compensation made to all-age organizations directly by DCI. There may be some minimum compensation made by the DCI show sponsor to an all-age organization. So my guess is that DCA shares are larger compensation than that of DCI.

Or do the winners get paid more? Reading the subsequent post, it seems to be a mix of how corps are paid. My guess is a more successful corps will command a higher performance fee, esp if they bring a large number of fans with them that will spend $$$ at the show.

Do they charter additional buses for that? Is that why DCA corps complain about their bus bills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years back we had “prize money” and minimum amount was set by DCA for DCA sanctioned shows. I was told corps signed contracts for shows and $$$ amount was between the corps rep and show rep. Caveat: heard it second hand and long ago so forget details Edited November 19, 2019 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not mean to word it to make it look like the corps itself brought the fans on busses. My bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking on DCI side of there is a local show with middle of the road corps and...... the Blue Devils. Kinda think Concord would pull in more warm bodies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
