So far 2 of the corps we know that COULD afford it decided not to do it. Neither can afford much of anything without significant Bingo income. Bingo first, or no drum corps.

I wonder if DCI has a decided on the number of Corps that need to show up to make the whole thing happen. I would suggest that 5 is too few, and 20 probably would do it from DCI's point of view. But this is a gut feeling, without any number crunching whatsoever. Was thinking of the numbers game too with facilities. Also should have asked if some corps go to the same facility year after year. If a corps gets used to a place and now it’s saying “no”.... oh crap, start from scratch looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skevinp Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I’m not saying your conclusion is wrong, but for those of you who think the notion of a corps having any kind of a season or going to Indy is ignorant, irresponsible, unintelligent, or anything else you have said or implied, why don’t you go after those corps who have announced they plan to do those things instead of ganging up on one enthusiastic young person who has no control over what will happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve tried asking this young person questions to try to understand their opinion and gotten 😄as a response numerous times. So much for having a conversation. Where has anyone said corps are irresponsible for wanting to go to Indy? I see people bringing up reasons why not going might be a responsible thing to do.
