Cadevilina Crown Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The YouTube video of that interview has a roughly 1:6 ratio of likes to dislikes. Just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many more than you would think. If you can play it on a synth already then there’s no argument against it. Yeah there is. No synths 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI is holding the door too. We're not pushing you out. Just saying "if you don't like it, there's the door." If you decide to stay and overcome and release your clutched pearls, enjoy the music, be proud of the achievement, you can plug your ears for the 20 seconds of a show when a clarinet plays and the rest of the show will remain the same. Those of us that enjoy the artform for the excellence and don't equate excellence with brass and percussion only, will enjoy the performances, the excitement of the kids on finals night, the achievement of the designers, this community and nostalgia. But I guess now you guys and everyone who are #neverWW can enjoy DCA. <yawn>. Have my seat. I can watch lame-o marching band anytime anywhere. “Excellence.” Yeah that’s what it is. Haha haha Edited January 11, 2020 by HockeyDad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersnyder Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Sometimes this is like watching an argument at a comic book convention where Teenage mutant Ninja Turtle comic books are declared stupid, but Superman comic books are the bomb. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 1 hour ago, WaxDCIFan said: I wonder if DCI has consulted some of their more loyal donors such as Friends of DCI. I used to run a pretty large alumni program for a big land-grant university, and it wasn’t unusual at all for us to float important policy changes or planned expenditures through our donor base to see where they were on big issues and solicit support. The university didn’t want to surprise our supporters or worse yet alienate the high $$ donor alumni with a policy change and have it backfire on them. Any Friends of DCI people on here? Have you been separately consulted about any of these proposals to see if you would bail out? Pfft. No they didn’t do that. They ran it past their internal echo chamber and Surprise! They were all in agreement WWs are they way to save the day! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppycock Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Interested to hear what the subject matter experts will have to say if this proposal fails or passes and has a adverse impact on the bottom line in a few years.

I like you made a disparage to yeaH but this now disconnects Drum & Bugle Corps from us oldies - good luck to competing with Ohio State and Texas A & M Us oldies? I started in 1963, and IMO this is a great and long overdue change, even if for now it is primarily for soloists and small groups in the pit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho she did throw in a not yet on membership increase Which is also referenced in the actual proposal, so it was not a new item on the interview.
