I was shocked, actually, at the variety of uses I encountered beginning day one of boot camp. It may be pathetic but, somehow, killing people makes it less so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 "Designed to welcome thousands of new participants..." Meaning: We have SCALE and we can take this nationwide. THAT is the power of teaming up with a billion dollar national company. I don't see anything yet in this announcement that reflects DCI had to sell its soul to get this critical component to success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) "...live and virtual stages"... (emphasis mine) Does SS or even DCI have that capability now? Edited August 31, 2020 by garfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 "Groups will be encouraged to perform locally in a broad range of categories that can create pathways for national and international performance opportunities." Gee, I wonder where SS groups might find those opportunities? Now, I realize I'm reading a PR release from DCI but I'm not finding anything to really draw scorn. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The band geeks ought to pipe in about this one: A "new experience"? “'Marching Music’s Major League' is engaging in this reimagined experience in the fall for marching bands and musical ensembles. The best that we can bring, we are bringing to the fall." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
