What business model supports throwing away brand recognition to become like their lessor-common competitor, and thus risk alienating a substantial percentage of their customer base? I'm not sure I can answer your questions.. buuuuuut....... Anyone ever think of this chick in the movie Signs when Forestry Service Kathy is talking?

Acceptance is the key and moving on. Enjoy the 2020 season. Few days ago I got a “I give up” from a poster when I tried to explain something. No idea what the problem was as think he missed the point but still “had” to be right (whatever it was). I just laughed and moved on Edited January 11, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geesh, you're not keeping up. that is not more revenue though... that is the same amount of revenue that the shows currently bring in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes from a variety of sources including donors. I know because I too use to attend. Didn’t care where the money came from either as long as it wasn’t mine. Been there done that! Sounds like your ambivalence towards the money (i.e. always making it OPM) might be symptomatic of the reason the activity is looking for new revenue. The SMEs that advised the Board are not staff members of corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty self-contained and talk to only a few people when I’m at shows. They’d barely know I’d left! 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_orangecounty Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 9 minutes ago, garfield said: What "brand recognition" is being lost in the eyes of the public? Are you trying to suggest that marching bands are "lessor-common" (sic) than drum corps? And "substantial percentage" is subjective at least and non-knowable anyway. Zero to the public-at-large who don't see any difference between Drum Crops and Marching Band anyway. That's not the people I'm referring to. And this maybe just anecdotal...........I marched in the Anaheim Kingsmen. When we folded the first time (1975) many of us went to other corps across the country; B.D., SCV, Freelancers, Bridgemen, etc. Out of the two-dozen + I have maintained freindship with over the years, not ONE person hopes WW are allowed and (roughly) 3/4 plan to no longer follow/support Drum Corps if they are introduced. Too small a sampling size...? Maybe, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
