My corps had to adjust to more Friday night and weekend practices as members were coming from further away. Yeah, I'd have a 2.5 hour drive each wY to get to the closest DCA corps. Gotta be one drive per direction a week, not more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we got better and more wanted to join and a corps 80 miles away folded. 1979 we were doing Friday night practice and either people crashing at others house or overnight beddy bye on the bus if a long trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see many DCA fans going to Indy unless they already go for DCI. On the other hand… average age at DCA when I went was not getting any younger 😬 How many so called DCA fans show up now? 1500-2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI members, back to life etc etc. The cost alone for a tiny DCA crowd at LOS for the day would not even cover the lights to be on. If it were to even have 1/2 a chance to work it wouldhave to be put smack in the middle sometime to maybe get a few more people. The question would also be for the few who may attend from the DCI side how many would be lost from the DCA side to travel to Indy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I could go was about 10 years back and all that grey and no hair I saw was not a good sign for the future. Personally think having Finals over Labor Day weekend is hurting as younger people busy. Edited July 17, 2022 by JimF-LowBari 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 So, DCA is f**ked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
