In theory, all ticket sale money should be in a separate account and should not have been touched yet, except for expenses directly involved with the show. I would wonder if that is the case. Think your comments are spot on, Tim. There's a very good possibility that some of the money is already spent, maybe in advance of this season, maybe to cover losses from a previous season. Contractors do this all the time, collect money from one project to pay expenses from another. Starting to smell a lawsuit here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was drum corps like before DCI? More regional and the CA corps headed Eastward for some competition. First time I saw SCV was at the 71 Danny Thomas Invitational in MA. As for your question, as you may have read, there were hundreds of corps. The season started a month or so earlier than DCI. With just about every mm from within 50 miles of a corps/drill team/bands HQ, the final contests were into September if not October. One 1960 era bread truck carried all the instruments and uniforms. Most top corps had around 80 mm. Edited April 5, 2020 by Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no DCI someone would have to come up with a new big show to get Corps to travel a far way to come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
