MM Refunds, and Ticket Buyers, too? Friends?

Is it a question of DCI not wanting to give refunds, or is it unable to give refunds? 

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.

Don’t know! The Cali corps could have a show every weekend and never leave the state. What was drum corps like before DCI?

Lot cheaper to run (not just transportation) and lot more smaller corps..... IOW something we can never go back to...

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.

Hmmm no AL or VFW Nationals, no World or US Open, Dream, etc... 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.
