THIS WHOLE IDEA OF NOT RELEASING REPERTOIRE IS JUST SO STUPID You would think all corps would be excited. Sell tickets ,T shirts ,Get the fans and DCI community excited. Then they announce and season is only 4-5 weeks long . Just Stupid.

A big part of the reason many corps don't release repertoire until late in the game is licensing for the material in the show. The licensing people have been notoriously slow in granting approval if it does come. Repertoire changes have been made because licensing has dragged its feet and then, shortly before the season licensing says, "Oh, you can use it." Too late.

Gone are the days when you could choose music with impunity.

Another thing that has given corps pause is announcing selections and then having their choices torn apart in social media. Unfortunate, but this has happened too often.

I agree that these situations have put a serious lid on preseason buzz.

Even music written in the 18th century?

The licensing thing stinks, but staff could mitigate that by picking shows sooner, like a year sooner...

The other part of your comment is true, people tear apart things on social media. That should be ignored, even if I'm the one tearing apart music choices.
