CSGreen Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I am looking forward to the vote. I must commend several corps for doing well thought out proposals, and I am looking forward to the weekend. Some great suggestions, some I don't agree with, some I do, but I have my notes, have done my research, and ready to enter the weekend with an open mind. I wish we had a vote this year, but a circumstance with another corps not being able to attend a show cost us our vote. Not blaming the corps, but I do hope at the end of the day we can come to the table with a better understanding of how to continue to make DCA grow and remain strong as well as not penalize corps simply for where they are located and the proximity to other corps of their nature.

camel lips Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 So an new organization (corps) of 40 members from somewhere(anywhere) should get the same vote power as The Empire Statesmen (or Brigadiers, Cabs, Bucs, MBI, Corpsvets...) in the direction and rules of DCA?... Is this equal representation of membership/people/alumni/resources/fans' interests? Certainly not. Right now as the rule stands it rewards corps for both participation and placement. The proposed rule eliminates any reward(vote)for multiple participation. It my feeling that if this rule passes,,you will see corps doing less and less and shows.The number of shows will go down.DCA will lose. Its a win win situation for DCA to keep the current system.

Just Another Sop Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I honestly believe that ALL Corps should have a vote. (That is every corps that has paid their dues, membership fees and attended The Championships.) BUT I also feel that every corps that makes the Top 12 Open and Top 3 A Class, should get another vote. Then every corps that has been a member for at least 5 or 8 or 10 (whatever amount) continus years should get another vote. I think that would make everyone feel like a Full Member, Reward Quality(top 12 open, top 3 A class) AND maintain Stability . So corps like Empire,Bucks etc, would get 3 votes. NY Sky, Kilts etc 2 votes, all other newer, non finalist 1 vote. Pay Dues - become a member (how is it you pay membership fees/dues and not be considered a member corps?) Get one vote Tenure Get one vote Finalist (or top 12 top 3 as above) Get extra vote for the following year That sounds like a logical way.

bigmyq Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) Finalist (or top 12 top 3 as above)Get extra vote for the following year What about Class A? Should the corps who win the other division have an extra vote as well? Edited January 13, 2007 by bigmyq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Skyliner Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) What about Class A? Should the corps who win the other division have an extra vote as well? YES! to the above! If I was a attending the meeting as a corps rep. This would be MY Amendment. To the rule. I honestly believe that ALL Corps should have a vote. (That is every corps that has paid their Membership Fees, Dues, etc., and Attended The Annual Championships.) One Vote BUT I also feel that every corps that makes the Top 12 Open (Top 10 finalist plus 2) - AND - the Top 3 A Class Finalist, should get another vote. Then every corps that has been a member for at least 5 or 8 or 10 (whatever amount) continus years should get another vote. I think that would make everyone feel like a Full Member. Reward Quality(top 12 open, top 3 A class). AND maintain Stability . (For example in Open Class - Empire,Bucks etc, would get 3 votes. NY Sky, Kilts etc 2 votes, all other newer, non finalist 1 vote.) Edited January 13, 2007 by LucysSkylinerAlumni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
