Do you attend DCI Championships? I do! There doesn’t seem to be any issues where to put the international corps when they attend DCI. Believe you might be trying to put a round peg into a square with your line of thinking.

There’s no need for a specific format like DCA with prelims and finals the following day. That’s not what a DCI All-Age Championship would require.

If the All-Age corps were included in the same format as Open Class corps then sure, but a mid-morning to early afternoon show will suffice before Finals on a Saturday.

I’ve noticed that many people continue to think along the same lines of DCA instead of thinking about a show just for the DCI All-Age corps.

This is about DCI member All-Age corps who might be only interested in performing at DCI shows, providing more opportunities to potentially more members and ending there season the same time as both Open and World Class corps. I doubt seriously that any of the Northeast corps would attend because their Championships are over Labor Day weekend.

I wish someone of these non-Northeast corps would share their thoughts on what they believe would work best for their organizations besides trying to be participate in primarily a DCA Northeast organization.

Anyway I would like to see more alliances between DCI and DCA corps. Seems that most DCA corps have younger members. Giving them the opportunity to gain experience with a reasonable schedule at a affordable price that doesn’t interfere with school or career. I don’t know what the average tuition and fees are to become a member of a All-Age corps compared to say an Open Class corps, but I would think it’s less.
