I was under the impression that was going to be a long term choice for the foreseeable future rebrand both SCVC and BDB to local corps only. Then a pandemic that effects the global economy and both corps decide to do national tours the first chance they get. I have to wonder if BD also privately regrets bringing BDB to finals last year. I imagine BD game planned properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great tour from top to bottom. 2003 was the problem year. Adding Colin to the staff and loss of Brigadiers funding was the actual beginning of the end. What they did in 2000 and 2001 with Micro Magic was smart. They even played a few corporate gigs. And Brigs funding source? bingo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not accusing anyone of mismanagement or anything but they clearly scaled back this year as well. They just might be a bit more quiet about it and somewhat less impact because of their multiple revenue streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deleted my post because I noticed from another thread you were support staff back then and many staff deserve the respect. It's very sad, many loved Magic, including me.

Come on, you’re retired and in Flori-duh. Life is nothing more than bingo, early birds, thrift shops and afternoon live performance shows (ducks). Well that’s my sisters take when they visited her mother in law. 🙄 Edited December 28, 2022 by JimF-LowBari 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
