Could be the reason for no Kingston show this year. Or I could be totally wrong. In which case, carry on. 😂 so would you announce it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCA tried it in Scranton one year and had MBI come in and it didnt draw as well It's probably best for DCA to run with Allentown than run against it or not have a show at all. Having a massive crowd, including high schoolers who would generally be able to march DCA more than DCI at that point (cheaper tuitions, locality, staying at home and not having conflicts with the summer), should be a massive recruitment source for DCA and the corps showing up, let alone a bigger fanbase. Sure, not many people know about the DCA as much, let alone Hawthorne and Reading's history, and it might be an empty crowd until the Bluecoats perform, but it can definitely help the organizations as well as the circuit grow.

Could be better if DCI did bigger random sorting for regionals and put them at a middle time instead of 6pm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
