But when the former director calls fans complaining online internet trolls on a live mic at retreat at finals well…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but there’s literally two sundays all summer with dci corps within 2 hours of jersey city. 40 years ago there 5/6 shows with DCA and dci corps in them in the region. Hershey was pretty much the last one……18 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll survive at least for a while. I think the new 3 class system is a joke and an excuse for trophies because corps can’t get bodies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of think that perhaps doing something is better than doing nothing. Maybe there might be a crack in the door with someone connected for revisiting the combined Hershey venue. I would think anything that might generate some attendance would be good for everyone. The more support you have for the activity the better it is for the ‘whole’. Well JMO. I would avoid that facility during the summer at all costs. The courtroom proved they run a crap process and have deep enough pockets to get away with. a concert brining 20,000 people they won’t screw with. A drum corps show getting 6-7000 they sure will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA is actually a good candidate, geographically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is when senior corps were the stars of drum corps in the east...My junior corps(St. Rocco's) were pretty good beating Garfield in 1966(twice) but joining The Sky in 67 meant that I was now a MAN..LOL..peace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything within 2 hours of say Harrisburg in NJ or DE or MD is a weeknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeknights are out for DCA corps. "Dream" scenarios would take some coordination, but could be mutually beneficial, particularly by adding some juice to the Open Class shows and exposing those performers to the possibility of a non-tour drum corps league.

I know Bucs had Raiders at their show last week. not sure what other hosts have Open Class corps there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
