I mean sure, ambition wise, everyone wants and is looking to do their best to make this season the best they can be, I don’t refer to only on-the-field performance when I call this a rebuilding year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not been a rebuilding year for Boston both on and off the field. I happen to know what goes on behind the scenes as well. So just saying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply another step on road to a championship. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my commentary isn’t really directed towards Boston at all, it’s obvious to many that they’re in a good place and that’s all we can hope for for not just them, but every corps on your this summer. Let’s recall that there were some corps that didn’t field even an exhibition show or go on tour last year and the last full competitive year was 2019, which is crazy to think about. this comment in no way is directed towards Boston. It’s apparent with how some corps are cutting back on the tours, membership issues with some corps and filling spots, and that’s ok. 2022 isn’t a make-or-break year for DCI, but a stepping stone for many corps for the years to come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly said, "it’s a rebuilding year for EVERYONE" and I said that "I disagree." Whether corps decided to field or not to field and their reasons I cannot speak to that. I can say that last season (2021) was not a throw away season for Boston in the slightest on all levels of the organization. What other corps decided to do or not to do was their own prerogative. Boston has not had any membership issues or filling their roster problems beyond what is normally expected for a regular season. I have noticed though in more ways than not that this has been an issue with other corps, but in all fairness to the other corps involved I will not speak to that.

I would hazard to guess Bluecoats aren’t in a rebuilding mode either, same with BD, SCV & Crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not gonna be at their throats about it either though, it’s a rebuilding year for EVERYONE, Crown can potentially come back to the northeast under more ideal conditions and to where the burden isn’t passed on to the membership. Everyone is cutting back to an extent The fewer comps thing is also strategic from a health standpoint, for some corps, and not so much about finances (though I’m sure everyone is being careful about finances right now). It’s the basic work hard but smart approach — less unpacking busses at 1am as they travel, more time spent in each place, more full nights’ rest, more free days, and making rehearsal time really count. An approach that I support! Edited July 5, 2022 by saxfreq1128 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
