I'd think corps prorating by the day all of the costs so far (bus leases lost, food restocking charges, cancellation charges for travel and hotels, staff costs, camps so far...) refund from the day DCI makes the announcement. Then, make a drastic effort to retain those payments as charitable donations to the corps. It's going to take phone calls from every board member, and it's going to take MM's appeals to their parents, and it's going to take recognition that, despite this being a "wealthy kid's hobby", many families won't be able to contribute because they need the money more than the corps does. DCI has already said they will refund tickets for championships. Ticketmaster refunds for cancelled events for the other tickets purchased through them. A friend already spoke to a guy at DCI.

Heck, I’d rather kiss Tom Hanks on the mouth than stay with my in-laws. Right there with ya. It’s not that I don’t like them or they’re bad people. Just crazy.

Our friend, Jim Wagner, who purchases our tickets, spoke to someone named Brian who works for DCI. He wasn’t working from the office for obvious reasons. He spoke to him at home. That’s the information that was given to him. Now, we’ll see if I get my $250 deposit returned that we paid Holiday Inn Express in Indianapolis.

Hey, this probably means that, because I got no return for my contribution, I'll be able to take a full deduction for the Friends membership for the first time in 35 or more years.

Get permission from town/cities to practice on their closed schools parking lots. My father and stepmother annually drive their RV down to Florida in January and spend a month in some state parks there. They just heard from friends that the parks are kicking out campers due to COVID19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s what a leader does sometimes - even if they don’t know if they have the authority, they act, and most times, people line up behind them and follow. Dan should have already contacted the directors (perhaps he has), with this message - I’m going to pull the plug on the season. Assuming most go along, he does it. Maybe that will happen today. Or very soon. As garfield says, if Acheson cancelled the season on his own, without board approval, they'd probably fire him. And then a week later they'd vote to cancel the season anyway. But if they're dithering (and I don't know that they are), then Acheson should just do it. Go out with your principles intact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
