greg_orangecounty Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Does DCI have any special plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary? So far, all I can find is merchandising. Maybe that’s it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keystone3ply Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 DCI will be celebrating the 50th anniversary with "3 days of unbridled joy in the Circle City"! (Or at least that's how they described the 2021 celebration.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSnareDrummer Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) A peanut butter and jelly eating contest and a Gail Royer lookalike contest might be fun. Maybe Don Pesceone coming back from the dead and slapping the holy bejeezus out of Dan Acheson saying "WTF did you do?" Ok, that one's a little far fetched. Maybe just one of those Strongman punching bag machines with Acheson's face on the target, Edited January 25, 2022 by OldSnareDrummer I got carried away. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 One of DCI's problems (among many) is their lack of transparency and communication. There has been virtually nothing from them about special events/performances they are planning for the 50th. Isn't is time for Mr. Acheson to step down? DCI needs a major shake-up, starting at the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack-of-anniversary-transparency scandal. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim K Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I can recall hearing about four years back that there were plans in the works for gathering those who marched in 1972, various reunion corps, an alumni gathering like 2012 only farther reaching, and special events at Atlanta, San Antonio, and Allentown. These were concrete suggestions with actual names attached as to who would be doing what. No surprise the late Michael Boo was featured prominently. Most likely many of these plans have been scrapped if for no other reason than Covid-19. My guess is we’ll see video montages at finals that recall the history of DCI, and perhaps a traveling exhibition of the story of DCI, but not anything that could not be canceled easily.
