Bag politics, I’m only concerned with the human toll. And hitting 1000 deaths each of the last two days is going to be another reason that extracurriculars like guard and drum corps are not coming back for a long while. Sorry Jim. Since this has been politicized, I don't trust the numbers. There is a lot of misinformation out there intended to give advantage to a certain political movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they’ll lose some from attrition. But video auditions could work for those spots. The current members have had the show material for quite some time (as most, if not all corps are keeping their shows), and some camps/meetings/rehearsals can be done virtually. Realistically DCI could have till next Spring to make any decisions regarding 2021. A lot can happen in eight/nine months, we’ve only been going through our current hell for five. Just trying to stay positive. A vaccine or medicine could change the community outlook in a very short period of time. Sorry but show sponsors need to lock in dates and sites long before the spring of 2021. DCI or WGI may have multi year contracts for some featured shows. It is all the smaller regionals and weekday show host who will be impacted. It just is not a realistic time period. DCI may be able to wait until Jan. 21. I have to honestly feel WGI needs to have a decision on the 21 season by no later than Sept. or Oct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the virus became politicized, it turned into a circus. It became one side against the other and another perceived opportunity to impeach the president of the United States. it;'s been an epic bipartisan failure of government at the federal, state and local levels. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
