denverjohn Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Another show with only 5 corps? Why bother going? The DCI model cannot function with only a handful of corps to spread around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it will still sell out and get exposure of the activity to more areas. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if World Class shrinks down to 15 corps and we have 3 corps shows and ticket prices that are ridiculous for young families are we still good to go as long as those 15 corps have million dollar budgets? What is critical mass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Flores Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I love this show venue. I have been 3 times and it is a beautiful backdrop, few years ago I spent 2 days in Salem, one for DCI...one for Minor League Baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every show in the Midwest and East the first two weeks of the season is like this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) "we need regional drum corps shows" -regional show has 5 groups- "Activity is doomed and dying I'm not paying for these small lineups" DCI season is like the school shooting flow chart just loop back around to the point where we post all time attendances.

Last year, we had 10 corps break 90 in Indy for the first time. This year, we may have 8 corps scoring 90s by Allentown and a great 4 or 5 corps battle for the final 12th spot. Spirit is back. Cascades is back. Hopefully SCV and SCVC will soon be back. Drum corps is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
