But because SCV was a no-show at nationals, by rule they are no longer a member corps of DCI. So while Dan was able to grant permission to participate in shows, only the members can decide whether to grant membership status on SCV -- and thus the benefits that membership would bestow. The burden is on Santa Clara to make its case to the members. NoT what they did for troopers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member corps are allowed a one-year hiatus without automatically forfeiting membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, although it will be interesting to see what occurs next summer in terms of show orders of appearance. After all, since SCV was not at Indy in 2022 and therefore received no ranking, one would think they will have to be in the first group of three for every show until San Antonio. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI Bylaws Section 6 - Actions on membership status - Termination Membership is automatically terminated in the event a Member corps does not compete at the Drum Corps International World Championship during the year of Membership, unless that failure to compete is due to a probationary status. (Maybe I missed it, but DCI never put Santa Clara on probation. In its Dec. 12, 2022 press release, DCI said only that SCV "will opt-out of the 2023 Drum Corps International Tour." Not a word about probation.) Section 5 - Responsibilities and benefits of membership B. Voting for changes in membership status, including granting Membership to organizations... Section 2 - Eligibility for Membership Membership in Drum Corps International is available to competitive drum corps that: A. Participate in the DCI Summer Tour and at the DCI World Championships C. Have been approved for Membership by a majority vote of the current membership Seems pretty black-and-white to me: SCV will need to pitch its case for membership to the current members of DCI. Spirit was placed on probationary status, which means it did not lose its membership status, which means SoA did not need to petition the DCI members to restore its own membership. Same was true for Troopers in 2005. Edited September 11, 2023 by 2muchcoffeeman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not remember DCI placing Spirit on probation, but Google says it happened. I tend to think any member corps, knowing this is how it works, would try to obtain probationary status whenever they have to take a year off. Maybe SCV is already under double secret probation, with this in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacewill Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Good news for PC. Often times a building corps momentum is broken after a great year because they lose the staff that helped get them there. PC being able to retain their entire staff to build on this past year will really give them a serious shot at a finals position. They lost that after Everglow and with Covid. Next year, the 10 to 16 corps will all probably up their games so it should be another great year of swapping spots for finals! https://www.facebook.com/PCDrumCorps/posts/pfbid02BYFNDPaq2UdTfYnmh3j7cNpU3C1BtegdW5cUk3iGsNePFeTwQM83DFRMzXVRNmTzl 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to know Craig Adams when he was marching in Boston's hornline. He is a good guy and I'm glad to see him succeeding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
