Every single qualified SCV member will find a spot in another corps in an equal competitive tier if they try. Not one single corps has "set" their line yet. Granted, I feel sorry for those who were "all in", as you say, because they spent money and effort already, but if they really want the DCI experience, they'll make it work. I'm sad for my home team, and I worry that this is just the beginning of the end. Maybe it has to burn down before it can be built again. Time will tell. Boston has set their drum line as of this past weekend's callback camp. They have posted group pictures of each section, as a matter of fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the kids who were aging out. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffe77 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) The bottom line is that when you have a revolving door of leadership at the administrative level, it’s difficult to pivot and diversify like their neighbors across the Bay. Their neighbors have stability in their leadership. They have diversified their sources of revenue via acquisition of USBands, running BD Entertainment, etc and other circuits. Meanwhile SCV is looking more and more like Blockbuster video, lacking the vision of the aforementioned hoping that Bingo will solve their problems. Even in the statement released tonight, they banked on a city council to allow another Bingo Hall to open. To say it’s out of their control is a little disingenuous.

I think we're seeing a lot of groups efforting to get members contracted before wgi rather than after this year. Hoping for the best.

bluesman Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The announcement just popped up in my Twitter feed. Still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffe77 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 On the percussion front, I’m hearing Phantom Regiment’s line is not set. Rennick’s disciples are running the show there. I expect the Rennick’s to bring in as much of their UNT crew over. Heck, he could be a “consultant”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller move would be for the SCV vets to go over there en masse. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000Cadet Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I'm sad that this is happening to SCV. I'm deeply afraid this won't be the last corps in this situation. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
