The 2004 TOC was merely an idea to give the west coast a chance to see drum corps in late season for once, and IIRC part of the vetting process for the brewing campaign to bring championship week to California in 2007. The G7 came later (2010). The subsequent TOC series starting in 2011 was designed to placate the G7 (who were still threatening to break away from DCI). this is correct. and later in 2010...or it was 2011...there subsequent attempts to try and push some G7 agenda through, but again it was blocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daave Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Wasn't it the 2012 Jannuals that they tried again? The one where the Troopers BoD wrote the open letter calling it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI didn't allow. the other 15 corps fought back. so while the TOC concept continued on, many of the rules proposals included never saw the light of day. Plus the original idea was...uh....extremely amended by that one person that the other 6 didn't even know about until the presentation started. But them they were trapped and locked in. and funny how in 2010 this all happened, and it took 4 years for the show taking shots at DCI actually hit the field. and looking at the field today, funny who was for it and wasn't and where they are in the pecking order now Hey Jeff, do you know where I could find the G7 presentation?
