As I stated earlier I know of three cases this past summer of kids migration from their dream corps to lower tiered corps after they didn't make the cut in their preferred corps. the data was provided by dci themselves several years ago. 7000 kids tried out. only about 4000 marched. but if every corps in dci was full that summer, 6500 would have marched. math aint hard even for someone like me currently one handed after wrist surgery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both within the last ten years went on a tangent from what the Norm in the activity actually was, and both have been Crowned Champions and have, and continue to influence their respective idioms Inside and Outside of WGI. Tastemakers. Heck Broken City changed how Drumlines are judged. outliers. and i'll say Pulse drove the bus, Broken city and Ayala rammed it through the wall.

It was enlightening and your statement is spot on. i've been involved in youth athletics, marching band, indoor and drum corps. every one proved time and time again adults #### up kids activities 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I don’t participate in Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. and make Drum Corps Planet my only message board source, has there been any chatter of excitement from what we believe to be young woodwind players? I surely haven’t seen any evidence of that here on DCP. Anyone read a few “Geez, this would be cool if it passes. I always wanted to do DCI as a woodwind player!” Are accordion players piz’d they’re not being included? (asking for a Mummer) 😝 the only excitement has been from adults. anywhere i've looked the majority of eligible aged posters have mocked it or worse 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Cue the Maude Flanders "Won't somebody please think about the kids" meme's) 🤣 DCI mission statement references “participating corps” and nothing about member corps, OC, WC etc Edited January 8, 2020 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a serious component to my previous post. I was confident you were in best position to weigh-in. You confirm my suspicion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
