Liahona Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 2 hours ago, Smug Trumpet Guy said: It's probably about time to combine open and world. I don't think that would happen as that changes the performance fee structure for the corps and perhaps the pool allocation as well. We already had a huge riff about that several years ago at a higher level in the food chain. It was also my understanding from what I read that the open-class corps like having their own division.

One of the corps is doing a 2 week stint twenty minutes away from me and I'm going to check out their rehearsals. I'll get back to you on this one because I don't know much about open class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri Schehr Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The first DCI was one class. Everyone was in the same bag. Then, they had class A and all-girl for a while. Aftervthat, there was Division II/III which all-in-all, was a good format but I don’t think there are enough corps now to support it. I think they should probably leave well enough alone now because drum corps is in recovery mode at this time. Just my $.2. I don’t think expanding membership at this time was a good idea but we’ll see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
