My own best guess is that DCI may try and put on a "Celebration of Drum Corps" kind of event, more like a festival than a competition. There will be large variation in how the various organizations are able to prepare, so a true competition may be out of the question. We'll see. Just a guess with nothing behind it other than gut feel. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess with nothing behind it other than gut feel. 😀 I still don’t understand why an event that could possibly field close to 20 corps would not be scored. The same sheets could be used, but the champion might score a 94.5 instead of a 98.1. As far as spectators, most can’t tell the difference anyway. How many can really tell if the snare line ticked? If finals judges need to see a corps show prior, the corps can submit virtually and video it from every angle, even from the air. If a corps doesn’t want to be judged then they can do an exhibition section to the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but this is just my guess based, as I said, on nothing. If all they have is this event, I would not want it scored as a competition if I was part of a group that attended, but that is just me, not DCI.

I guess I was assuming there would be considerably more than a single event, just based on an expected desire of the corps to more fully justify the amount of preparation necessary to get to that point.
