Your question might be a good topic to start PC. For me, have only been to one and don't see the need to do it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Another "what if" scenario. What if the competitive aspect was completely removed from the activity and corps just performed with no pressure to keep up with Joneses, if you will. Would you still attend drum corps shows, then?

Not the corps dime, but the money that many of us donate each year, minus my personal costs for flights, additional meals, etc. Volunteering that final week (something I’ve always wanted to do) has nothing to do with my reason of seeing no need to go to Indy, itself, for three nights. That was the premise of Poppycock’s question to Terri. Edited April 10, 2021 by Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a very interesting question. I care a lot more about the entertainment value, but part of that is the high quality of performance, and I wonder if that quality would be there if there were no competition to incentivize it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And response from above seems to be making a policy is the be all and end all. Not to mention that Covid policy that some people have seen somewhere at sometime but is it on DCI webpage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
