audiodb Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Recently noticed that Jester's name has been removed from the lineups of shows on the DCI website. Anyone have firsthand knowledge of the corps' status for the 2007 season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Nothing on their site that indicates anything wrong...however the last update was almost a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfan88 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 From what I've heard, they just don't have enough members. They've got a full drum line, but thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds logical....it must be pure Hell living in the shadow of Academy...of they weren't in the same town they might have better recruiting...pretty sure there are other issues as well. A shame....i admired their sheer pluck in going out with what little they had...hope they can come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipposduck Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 On their website, they're still set for a fair tour. Could be an old schedule, though... http://www.jestercorps.org/page/page/4239369.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashhelmi36 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 From what I've heard, they're taking a year off due to membership issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festive Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That is so #### sad. I was looking forward to finally seeing them. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guizeppe Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 One wonders if the success of The Academy could lead to the adoption of Jester as their "B" corps. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipposduck Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Would either organization really like that? Academy still seems to be in its infancy, and probably doesn't have the finances or the man power to run a second organization...much less send one on tour. And the Jester crew probably wouldn't like getting the Academy leftovers at auditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) From what I've heard, they're taking a year off due to membership issues. Yeah ... one kid couldn't make it and the other kid didn't want to march alone. (Sorry, couldn't resist. I am a bad, bad, man. :sshh: ) Edited May 24, 2007 by DCIHasBeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
