Boomers, millenials, geriatrics, and cmms don't seem to be that different from the fmms, alumni, donors, and thread posters here. Look for yourself. We are all those things. Plus parents of fmm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I do wonder if DCI was quietly encouraging people to leak hints about this rule on social media (including DCP) over the past several months as a kind of "soft opening" so that it wouldn't come as such a shock now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that they've finally figured out that accomplishing that means ending adjudication from the box and putting the judges actually "in the stands" from endzone to endzone. If corps don't know where the judges will be, they'll design shows that appeal to all ends and sides of the stadium. That would be nice.

Interesting that this is the reasoning being used by a member of the DCI BOD. This is also an interesting angle as its being proposed by the a member of the DCI BOD. Does that Hold more weight? Was DCI used as the shield by the Member corps to not have this proposal come from any one single DCI Corps but instead come from the DCI BOD? Uh, no. This is really easy. DCI has committees. Committees can make the basis of a rule change. If no one member corps in presenting the idea, then the activity itself is presenting it, and the Chair of the BoD of the activity is then the submitter. Easy-peasy. You can unwrap the tin-foil from around your head now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaxDCIFan Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Woodwinds in DCI. Just one more reason to spend my money on something else now that my kids have stopped marching. Better keep the amplification though. You’re going to need it to hear the #%?!£ bassoons. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
