Rich Cline Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Yes that's right! Sad That After 5 Years FLO Still Can't Get It Right - 4 Years To GO Per DCI Contract See DCI Article: https://www.dci.org/news/drum-corps-international-partners-with-flosports-to-live-stream-dci-tour-events Drum Corps International partners with FloSports to live stream DCI Tour events by Drum Corps International 04-20-2017 17:00 Summary: DCI announced an exclusive multi-year partnership with FloSports & Drum Corps International to present our events with FloSports through their rapidly-expanding FloMarching channel, "said Dan Acheson, DCI Executive Director and CEO. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IMO: DCI Hogwash from Dan Achesonson (CEO) of Drum Corps International and FloMarching. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Followup FloMarching Article: FloSports And Drum Corps International Extend Partnership To 2026 Summary: FloSports And Drum Corps International Extend Partnership To 2026 https://www.flomarching.com/articles/7124763-flosports-and-wgi-extend-partnership-to-2026 FLOSPORTS EXTENDS BROADCAST RIGHTS PARTNERSHIP WITH PREMIERE MARCHING ARTS ORGANIZATION, DRUM CORPS INTERNATIONAL, THROUGH 2026. Aug 19, 2020 by FloMarching Staff FLOSPORTS EXTENDS BROADCAST RIGHTS PARTNERSHIP WITH PREMIERE MARCHING ARTS ORGANIZATION, DRUM CORPS INTERNATIONAL, THROUGH 2026 DCI Produces Annual Competition Events Series For Elite & Exclusive Marching Ensembles Featuring Multi-Talented Student Musicians And Performers Culminating In The Prestigious The Annual World Championships. AUSTIN, Texas (August 19, 2020) – FloSports, the innovator in live sports streaming and original content, announced it has extended its broadcast rights partnership with the prestigious marching arts organization, Drum Corps International (DCI), through 2026. FloSports has been the official broadcast partner for DCI since 2017 and streams DCI’s highly competitive summer season through the FloSports marching arts and education platform, FloMarching. Although the 2020 season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, FloSports and DCI will once again bring incredible competitive music arts programming to fans in 2021 and beyond. With the extension of the DCI partnership and its relationships with other prominent independent marching organizations including Winter Guard International (WGI), Bands of America (BOA) and USBands, FloMarching solidifies itself as the premier destination for marching arts and has seen 115% subscriber growth since it launched in 2016. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You have read the announcements from both DCI (Dan Acheston, CEO of DCI) and Flo-Marching (Streaming Service). How do you now feel about the inferior streaming service provided by FloMarching and and Dan Achesonson's failed policies as (CEO) of Drum Corps International? It's time for Dan Achesonson to step down. Further internet searches have revealed he is in the the "middle" of numerous controversies of sexual misconduct, failure to enforce or request the dismissal of teachers/instructors who have violated marchers in various corps for a host of reasons. Clearly, this is a broad accusation, but I feel it needs to be investigated. DCI, fans and alumni "cleaned house" within the Cadets organization and the Troopers organization. Maybe we need to look at the top of the organization and it's BOD for clarification regarding whether DCI is following it's by-laws regulating proper behaviour within the pagentry arts of each organization under DCI. I suspect there is much 'wrong doing' to uncover regarding Dan Acheson's tenor as DCI's CEO before his financial contract expires. I just want to know and correct! I have posted in previous threads that 'Drum Corps Is Dead'. I still believe this as long as Dan Acheson remains as CEO of DCI. Let's clear the slate for all organizations and the parrent organization known as DCI so we can truly restart the activity for the 2022 season.

tedrick Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 There is so much live sound/technical design talent in the corps - couldn't the corps meet with Flo technical teams and discuss how they can put out a better product? If it's just a matter of using the wrong types of mics or mic placement, couldn't the issues be addressed and corrected? There have been times in the past when the audio quality on the streams has been good -- what has happened this year that the audio on the streams is so bad? Are the Flo engineers using a different streaming device that handles the audio differently/lower quality? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenHut Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It is long past time for new blood and leadership at DCI. They need to send Ach packing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Cline Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just now, Rich Cline said: Whatever the logistics or reasons, I hold Dan Achenson (DCI DEO) responsible for everything happening this season. He contracted with FloMarching for the Multi-Year contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liahona Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Why would Flo care anyway? They don't need to perform better as they have a long-term contract...with not really any other options for DCI even if they wanted to get out of it...Where do they go to get a better product? Last I looked there were not too many alternatives? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I looked there were not too many alternatives? That is my point. Flo does not care because they have a long-term contract, signed by Dan Acheson. Further, as long as DCI produces DVD's/Blueray Dvd's with edited sound (removed), creating "partial show" disc's with edited material removed, DCI and it's affiliates will cease to exist. Again: unless changes happen; Drum Corps is Dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
