I listed the last 25 corps that have folded from DCI II/III ranks...

if you could revive one of these as a DCA competitive corps, who would you?

I still firmly believe that a community based corps (which many II/IIIs still attempt to be) will always have struggles in trying to be a national touring ensemble. I think for some of these corps, esp with the local alumni base some of these have... restructuring as an all-age ensemble would help them achieve their mission and goals, just in a slightly different package than they would have had continuing in DCI.

I don't advocate a corps 'going all-age' or 'going junior', but rather as an option for those corps that are facing the delimma of staying alive as a corps...

Wow! I went with East Coast Jazz. They sure would have a good Quality base to start from. Just the idea of a All Age Corps in Boston area is just a great thought.

I second Bandettes. Would love to see an all-girl, all-age corps.

Quebec Alliance, what Les Senateurs (pre-merger) did with so few was amazing.

If L'Insolite was on the list or Les Etoiles, would be them hands down.
