musicteacher Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Re: Bil Cook helping others. He was responsible for 27th Lancers being able to get home from nationals in 1986. There was so much jealousy toward that organization, but Mr. Cook was a true humanitarian. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks back one of my trainers said in chat "Boss, you know that sometimes your old man humor isn't really funny, right?" A week later she asked me to order her a new X1 Carbon laptop for classes to which I replied (in chat) "You know xxxxx, sometimes your young person humor isn't really funny, right?"

Now, we just need some groups who don't have to spend a ton to be a part of DCI, yet still get an on-the-field performance... They’re doing that on their own. Same as corps who want to bring down costs. They fundraise, on their own. They’re not sending members to fundraise for corps operations (yes I’m looking at you dca corps who send your membership out there with calendar dates to buy which don’t go to individual fees) they have people in charge of development, grant writing, and donor cultivation. DCI (from an exec level) handles season operations, marketing, and scheduling. Individual corps still gotta go fund themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was some ‘DCI profit sharing’ (probably not correct term) with Corps once season was complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's the split of the net, following a formula that has a lot of factors, but primarily rewards those with the greatest number of Finals appearances (that info might be a little out of date, as DCI has adjusted a few financial policies in recent years, including performance fees). That said, no corps makes much more than $130-160k from their combined performance fees and DCI split, making it a relatively small portion of the overall revenues.

Relatively small portion does not mean it is an unimportant portion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you want to gauge the importance, suggest changing to equal compensation for all corps (WC and OC) and see what the reaction is. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
