sburstall Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Those choices need to be fixed. I wanted to say no, but noage: was there. Are you talking "no age limit" or "no"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiccups05 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I think most of us said none for no change...it is a bit confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristeyK Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Count me in on the "none" for no change. Being able to spend your summer marching Jr. Corps seems like an excuse to not have to totally join the real world. Would your family really be able to do without the income all summer? Car payments, house payments, feeding little Johny and Suzie, utilities....they all add up- and it'd be darned hard to do it while away playing all summer. (And that's assuming your spouse would like the feeling of being a Navy spouse every summer.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd83 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I like the 21 year old age limit, with the exception for those who turn 22 during the season. Let them march. After that, march DCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Being that we have a circuit specifically designed for an ageless society (DCA), I don't think DCI should raise the age limit at all. 21 is a good number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BariBrian Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 (edited) Sorry for the confusion. No age was suppose to read NO. Just a quick personal note: Where theres a will theres a way. The director as well as the staff of Avant Garde toured all summer long with the corps and none of them were paid for their services and yet still maintained their "REAL WORLD" life. "Do not doubt what you haven't tried" I am sure that it would still be a small percentage that would march. Yet, shouldn't they have the right to march with the corps. that they want? the one that they are loyal too? Instead of saying "sorry, your of no use to us anymore" If you had the choice between senior and Jr, which would you march with? I have marched with both. The talent level is the same, but not the atmosphere. Nothing can replace the excitment that Jr. corps. offers. Just my opinion. Tell me what your heart thinks, not what DCI has conditioned us to believe. By the way there might be alot more corps. around in this case and that 17 year old might find it easier. Not everyone that could march,, would march! This fact even goes for the ones that CAN march now within the age limit. Some get it into their head that they have out grown the activity. right?

Baritone Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 How is a 17 year old high school kid supposed to fight for a spot with someone who has a Master's Degree in Trumpet Performance? Like that person would really be marching?? You'd be surprised- I know lots of folks that I went to college with who have Master's Degrees in Performance and would give anything in the world to march in a Junior Drum Corps again...
