We had both scenarios and a rather large National Squad. We did a color presentation, so they didn't stand in the corner for the entire time.

Jeff Ream Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 2 hours ago, IllianaLancerContra said: New Corps Division for DCI - Alumni Class or, the Corps could go on their own - Alumni Corps International well....most DCI alumni corps are more of a project...a one off. here in the East, the alumni movement began in the late 80's, and grew to where DCA added an alumni only show to their weekend schedule. but the movement has gotten smaller. an overwhelming majority of the corps dont have active corps to pull from. they stay stuck in 60's 70's design which doesnt appeal to younger folks. alumni sadly get older with health concerns or pass away. At best now that show gets 1000 people and barely breaks even. and....cost. when you look at dci corps now, membership isnt local. so the cost to participate goes up per member. remember alumni have lives and families. One time....some extra weekends and a week? Sure. Every year? No. Bloo alumni couldn't do what they did this year every year. they'd price people out and turn people off by too much commitment.

They took a big visual leap in the 80’s. Edited August 31, 2022 by Terri Schehr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
