As far as funding: Corps like BD have a built in revenue source from things like BINGO. Other corps as well as DCI aren't as fortunate. Yet it seems those other corps, and well as DCI , don't want hire people with a background Business or Marketing, especially for non-profits , that could improve their financial situation. This causes them to miss out on a number of marketing opportunities. One small example. I own a small business in northern NJ. Every year, back when they were still in NJ, The Cadets used to solicit ads for the programs for their shows from all local businesses. From reading their programs, a lot of businesses, with no Drum Corps ties, took out ads. Then they stopped. I called to ask why and was told it was up to me to contact them to place an ad. Of course, even if corps or DCI did hire people with the right background, they would have to be open to what they propose. The funding model for a lot of corps and DCI seems to be "keep going back to the same well" (Alumni/Boosters) and asking for more money. They also seem to follow the "kick the can down road" school of financing. Just my $0.02. They keep going back to the same well for funding, but give no thought to the "legacy fan" with their show designs. ...when that's the case, it's silence and blank stares... You get what you give.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume it can be done with a mobile app. I know in NJ , little while after allowing sports betting with a mobile app., NJ expanded mobile betting to include casino games. If Ohio goes that way, I would think that this could put a dent in this revenue stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Dixon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 23 hours ago, Jeff Ream said: it had moments. IMO i think SCV underwhelmed as much as Cavies, but no one is freaking out about that Out of the top 5 only 3 impressed me with performance and a fresh/tight design (Boston & Bluecoats) - I was also surprised how poor some of the top 12 brass lines were at finals - basic tuning issue in a couple of the top 5 at FINALS (I can't recall that since 2000) and a couple others who were just very dirty finals week but made the top 12. A little shocking to me. SCV I think gets more of a pass as the visual side was much better than in the case of Cavaliers. JMO but 2022 was a rather weak year for the top 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet there were staff departure announcements the day after so it still is valid just people can't stick to one topic or make new ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
