It is coming.  They'll say 'No competition summer 21; lets go for max participation & allow woodwinds (& cheerleaders)'.  And then at Jan 22 Rules Convention woodwind  proposal will rear its ugly reed.

Instrument expense won't be that great - you can get a clarinet for $80 and a Saxophone for $229 on Amazon.  They might not make it past one performance though.

I remember the RAMD arguments that DCI was hitting panic mode and thinking DC had to be more like MB to keep kids interest and survive. Back during the amp and allowing other instruments rule discussions....

Deja vu all over again...

That's why they developed 'Flex Tape' 

 

 

Have seen the plastic trombones for $150. Price is memorable as that’s what my parents paid for my brass trombone.... over 50 (gag) years ago...
