OC had a G15 card to play, and didn't. They knew #### well how many of their kids supported the big guns in time, and if they went away, WC would be hurting. They chose not to trying to be nice.

Is there ever a "State of Our Activity" or some such ever published? What is DCI's position and proposed solutions for all of the current issues that not only prevent growth, but now we see more of our favorite corps going belly up or considering other drastic measures?

keystone3ply Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) More cool & positive vibes (pun kind of intended) from The Surf. I could have really used one in college. The "MarimbaPad": https://www.dci.org/news/the-mother-of-invention-jersey-surf-secures-patent-changes-practice-game-with-marimbapad?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email Edited March 23, 2023 by keystone3ply cx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOC Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 A great idea Surf. Not aware if the patent covers all marimbas, but this could have potential income for the corps. For the legal eagles out there, should they eventually sell the patent or work with a manufacturer for a piece of each sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's everything is hunky-dorey and there's nothing to see here, kiss it all goodbye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
