Only 37 drum corps. How sad, how elitist. US culture and US economics have failed youth at the local level. Rich parents with rich kids supporting rich staffs and corporations. It's all about the money.
DCI can totally turn World Championships in to an all-skate, everyone performs, three-day thing!
All you have to do is get staff members to stop pleading with their units to beat certain groups. And we know that will not happen.
Those days are LONG. Def stick to the top 12.
So we're going to take an activity that's already struggling and hurt the recruitment opportunities for more corps.
World Open used to be 10 finalists. Prize money was scaled from $100 to $1000. All corps fit neatly between yard markers leaving end zones free. Corps had room to "pass in review" in reverse order paying respect to the winner as each played themselves off the field. I miss patriotism in the activity.
Go to 15 on sat night. There is time. Dci has 15 clearly good enough to do sat night
Happy to say I would have made finals in '86 even with just top 10.
Top 6 or GTFO. Competition drives innovation, encourages efficiency, and ultimately benefits consumers by offering a variety of choices and driving down prices. It also motivates companies to continuously improve their products and services to stay ahead in the market.
Siri, close ChatGPT
@meta ai imagine a world of DCI finalists all competing together in harmony driving down prices in a world of abusing late stage capitalism.
Idk. Tickets to finals are so expensive already. I’m gonna have to start going every other year. I’ll be honest.. if it’s only a top 6 I would not spend the money to go.
@@chadtarver3301 I have NEVER been in Lucas Oil. I splurge on a Regional (San Antonio, Atlanta, Allentown) once every decade. I am old, retired, and too poor to spend retirement savings on this activity. I do watch free spring training and volunteer for field duties at local shows.
Just make Hopkins' G7 proposal a reality. The top 7 corps create their own superleague with all the rest trying to get in. Only the top 7 perform at finals. The number 7 corps gets knocked out (relegated) and the top unit from the lower division takes its place in the superleague. Similar to Champions League soccer.
