I went with Leadership. The buck needs to start stopping somewhere.

That’s a very reasonable compromise that would give DCI time to be flexible and prepare. I understand it always being in Lucas oil, but other parts of the country should have the opportunity again to experience it, the fans will follow wherever it’ll be held.

Not how contracts work

Costs because if there are no corps due to money the. You don't have to worry about other things. They need to figure out a better touring model that saves groups money which can lower costs for members. The activity has become who can afford it vs who wants to do it. Also, we are seeing the impact of heat in the south postponing or cancelling shows. I think they may need less shows with more groups in bigger stadiums. That way groups can do less traveling to save some transportation costs.

Making it a requirement for each corps to march 20 contras and cut back on the synth bass.

I took it to mean DCI couldn't move to a "every 5 year" model until the current contract expires -- escape or buyout clauses notwithstanding.

Based on what? Indy is an 8 hour drive from my home. West Coast is totally out of the question.

I'm sorry...I did not mean for this to be condescending. I don't know the agreements with DCI and Lucas Oil Field. I was just saying in future negotiations maybe have this in place.
