Poppycock Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The incurred cost continues to impact all the organizations. The donation $$$ are not there to supplement touring expenses, and membership fees are not enough to cover all costs. IMO, this may be the worst economic crisis to operate a drum corps ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price for fuels is already high and is expected to get a lot worse. I am sure most corps at this point don't have big cash reserves to weather this storm. Just surprised that this has not been a discussion topic. Rising fuel costs affect everything you purchase. So food, material for flags, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just surprised that this has not been a discussion topic. Don’t forgot that some fans have to travel a distance to get to shows, especially Indy. Between increased cost and mess with abuse in corps, lot of people may decide to forget the trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a refrigerated van that looked like a bread truck. Problem was the inside was a good bit smaller due to the thick insulated walls. 😫 Edited February 25, 2022 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
