When in the history of the activity has tuition been 15% of the revenue? At least be realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were about 50 in Illinois alone. We are now down to 37 drum corps. That, ladies and gentlemen is what leadership failure looks like. Thanks for nothing DCI...you have been asleep at the wheel for 40 years. Or maybe the paradigm of extra curricular activities has changed and there are far more choices that are far cheaper to set up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Lord, could you imagine the response to something like that today. We have a much safer environment today. State-of-the-art buses. Health and Safety staff. It's all to the good of course. It's also more expensive. LIfe is a series of tradeoffs. In 79, 27 did their entire 2nd tour in only 2 busses because we crashed one at a turnpike toll booth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too! We won that show! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
