DCC Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I have been told that one of the DCA corps (unamed until I hear that it's true) is planning on bringing in Steve Gadd to play drum set in their pit for prelims. I also heard they are offering him a substantial amount of money to do this. Anyone else heard about this? Personally, I think it is not fair.

DCC Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 I have no idea if it's true but why do you think it is unfair? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He is a professional musician. Are corps allowed to pay performers? I know they aren't in DCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenweaver Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I also heard that one of the upstate NY corps will have soloists in the pit. Oh wait, that already happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalEagle50 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Why should this thread be closed? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> because it is unsubstantiated rumor and DCp shuts those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strutta Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I do not know if there is a rule against it. However, I bet you'll find quite a few 'professional' musicians in DCA. Joey Pero is now a pro but I believe he's slated to play with Empire, this weekend. If there is no specific rule against it, I see no problem with it. If a corps chooses to pay a player and there is no specific rule against it, I think the corps should have the right to spend its' money as they see fit. Just MHO...

Plus, no specific corps was mentioned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
