While I think George is not personally affected, after being called out on more than one occasion here, I know the mods have little tolerance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsBands and the Devils are teaming up and maybe the cost has to do with coivid restrictions. There are many places in Texas that are wide open and have been for sometime now. Not sure about California as I thought they still have a great deal of restrictions. Sad that they can't perform for DCI events this summer. Guessing that it is easier to send some staff etc to these Sessions and get paid than it would to spend on a season. But they are going overseas so not sure. Do you think the corps that are choosing not to attend the DCI events this year are trying to cause damage to DCI? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t. I think they’re making decisions that are the best for their individual organizations. As they should. If Covid has taught us anything, it’s that it’s a dog eat dog world and we’re wearing milk bone underwear. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of my day when there were two Senior corps organizations at the same time (twice). DCA had the best payouts but corps had to make top 10 at championships to have a chance at being invited to DCA shows. So every year some of the lesser corps would have to look at their balance sheet and possible position if they went to DCA championships. Sometimes the decision was made not to go to the DCA big show. Hard to tell your members that they’re not going but instead banking the $$$ for next year Edited May 10, 2021 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
