Back in 2019 BC (Before Covid) I said (in a post) words to the effect of: 'I wonder if adding females is a bit of a desperation move to regain some competitive success?' It is not clear at all to me how the addition of females will fix the design and performance issues of the late 2010s. It will take at least 2-3 years of competition to see if I was correct. But 2021 will be a success if (1) the Corps gets through & back from the Indy DCI event without anyone coming down w/ Covid, & (2) they don't go bankrupt in the process.

Its actually quite understandable. When you are a finalists you draw many to you when you aren't the pool dries up quite a bit. When you limit the gender the pool is even smaller. Does it fix design? no of course not, thats an issue that can haunt a corps no matter the talent but talent also challenges designers . Lack of talent and over writing can also prove to be deadly.

Well, maybe not. i don't care if they went coed or not. but with placement on a consistent slide, i think placement certainly played a part in the decision 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
