Words are only words WGI has its flaws, but in making sure the lower classes get love and attention is definitely a huge plus for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya think?....lol....now with that said , it wasn't always like that for lower classes. They had no say until those lower classes were the ones with the $$$ behind them through out the year , not just at championships, and not just at shows but in fees , etc etc. lets not forget numbers too...I know Im not telling you anything you don't already know..lol DUDE !😝 Edited April 23, 2021 by GUARDLING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like catch 22... OC not getting more support until more butts get in the seats, but can’t get more butts in the seats without more support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSnareDrummer Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 How much support did they get BITD's of Class A, A60, etc going all the way back to top 25 "DCI Associate Members"? The red headed step-children of drum corps. It's like most anything else, it's all about who generates the revenue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the problem is people aren’t showing up..... 🙄 DCA has Finals with 4 Class A (DCI would be OC) corps and 10 Open Class (DCI would be WC) corps. Also all corps have Prelims same place and same day and all are in the program. Prelims for the Open Class has more people but Class A gets PR.

People complain about lack of support then most don't support anyway OR only run when the BIG guns are on. So yes both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, imagine if DCA took their class A corps out of Labor Day weekend and staged their title show separately on the preceding Tuesday at a site 180 miles away from the site of the weekend finals venue.
