I still think 165 members is probably ill-advised at this time but we’ll see. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craiga Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I would actually be surprised if they raised the membership limit again...if only because of the bus situation. Today's coaches have a max seating capacity of 55, and the idea of raising the limit from the prior 155 was that the corps had to lease 3 member coaches anyway, so why not max that number out? Obviously, 55 x 3= 165. I don’t see any corps voting to raise the limit any time soon by 10, 20, or even 40 members because it would necessitate having to pay for a 4th coach. I really don't see any evil scheme at work here; more like just tweaking an efficiency on what is the corps' single largest expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While true, they could always get a smaller 4th bus☺️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not this year but over time. Edited May 28, 2022 by Terri Schehr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
