Another season in the books, a new champion crowned, it’s time to speculate and learn about who’s out as well as who’s in for the 2026 DCI Season!

The annual Black Monday thread.

I heard every single staff member is staying exactly where they are.  

Of course, it’s just a rumor.

I dreamed last night that I was joining BD's staff.

You heard it here first.

One of the more interesting questions to me... does Wes return to Crown?

While I think Wes’ decisions deserve some critique, he didn’t choose the theme to this show. I’m not sure what I would have done to better represent this concept. Boston seems to embody the east coast style of the activity while also putting highly technical shows on the field. I know that’s a touchy subject but they seem to have figured it out. But a lot of it begins with the design concept and right now Crown seems to be stuck in design by committee.
