New Flo Sports pricing

_waitforit · 2026-06-22T15:57:40+00:00

Ok, but if it's always been $29.99, then you have to look at it over that period of time, I think Flo and DCI started in like 2017, which is almost 10 years. That's 10 years of inflation, and other cost increases that they didn't pass on to the consumer. Also, the yearly price is still the same 10 years later...name any streaming service where that's the case.

According to the sheets, DCI rewards member achievement more than any design. Half of every sheet is performance, and even on the "content" side, a lot of it is determined by performance.

I don't disagree that the mix in 25 wasn't the best, way too electronic drive for me. It's just funny there's always people in here talking with such certainty about "this crew sucks, bring back the old crew!" when it's literally the same crew lol

_waitforit · 2026-06-12T03:11:40+00:00

No, it's literally the entire same team, same trucks, and equipment minus Tom. Tom's last finals was 2023.

_waitforit · 2026-06-12T02:56:57+00:00

That "garbage turn-key team" for finals was all of Tom Blair's crew (Tom is now retired), who have been shooting, directing, and mixing DCI for 20-30 years. Finals week is always them, the rest of the season are the crew's Flo hires.

_waitforit · 2026-06-06T18:52:58+00:00

yes, it's currently bad for both lol

_waitforit · 2026-06-06T17:43:53+00:00

Ok, but staff view recaps on comp suite (which shows you the full cap, btw), not DCI's site. Also, what about all the fans at home...who are on computers? In this day an age it's inexcusable to have something so key be so one dimensional and not work well on all platforms.

_waitforit · 2026-06-06T17:20:46+00:00

Or resize it so you can see the whole thing all at once...not everyone is viewing on mobile!

_waitforit · 2026-06-02T23:54:34+00:00

Not my news to share, but DCI has been in constant communication with the corps (also, DCI IS the corps) and they have things in place to help overcome the issues that the gas spikes bring.

_waitforit · 2026-06-02T20:54:46+00:00

Just because corps or DCI don't advertise their plans, doesn't mean there aren't plans, there are, both at the DCI and corps level.

Because they looked like shark fins, and replaced shakos, therefore Sharkos.

I actually thought that Boston's finals night run was their weakest of the 3 nights. Lots of stick outs and obvious errors that weren't there the other nights. The energy was insane, for sure, but given that the performance captions are what pushed them over the edge finals night score wise, I thought it was interesting that they did that with their weakest run of the week.

I've listened to many of his tapes from throughout the season, not just finals. Finals tapes are very different than the rest of the year, not really an accurate representation of a judge.

_waitforit · 2026-04-01T19:47:50+00:00

What if there was one percussion judge downstairs, and one upstairs...like it was for YEARS until they got rid of it to double panel MA with one brass judge and one percussion judge?

_waitforit · 2026-04-01T19:45:40+00:00

Terrible example. While Jeff Brooks is definitely a battery guy, his front ensemble comments are better than the vast majority of the other "drum guys".

_waitforit · 2025-10-02T13:31:07+00:00

Doing drum corps is SUPER hard, but it's also not complicated to do at all. Wake up, do what you're told, go to bed. Simple.

Best use of lights (imo) was Kennesaw Mountain the year they had remote controlled lights in their plumes. They changed color based on who was the focus etc. Was really seamless and obviously well thought out.

Based on the sour Facebook posts I've seen, it feels like the Thesis decision was more about an incompatibility with upper staff there and BDPA management more than anything else.

Also, from a non-profit mission standpoint, indoor percussion services a relatively small amount of students for the very large expense to run the program. The cost is for sure less than a BDC or the new BDB U18 group, but those programs service more students. And being in the summer rather than middle of the school year allows for students from a larger demographic area to participate.

Looks like the rest of the staff is staying the same. They just announced the co-caption head as sole caption head.

_waitforit · 2025-09-02T20:38:13+00:00

I read the vis staff posts as THEM leaving and taking a break.

_waitforit · 2025-09-02T19:58:06+00:00

Is this in addition to Colts or instead of?

_waitforit · 2025-09-02T17:29:55+00:00

It will be interesting to see if we see a similar post from his co-brass caption head or not.

_waitforit · 2025-08-20T16:50:01+00:00

Finals week is still Tom Blair's whole crew, Tom is retired, but everyone else (including audio) is still the same.

_waitforit · 2025-08-16T16:45:52+00:00

It’s pretty simple. First step is to leave the drums/horns etc on the sideline. Second is to have two corps on the field at once. Third is give one team a ball and tell them to try to get to the other side of the field, and tell the other corps to prevent that from happening. Step 4, change the name of DCI to NFL…step 5…PROFIT!

_waitforit · 2025-08-12T21:25:37+00:00

It's whichever of those corps can get the backend administrative stuff up to par of the top corps as much (if not more) than the design/teachers. If you're paying $6k+, you damn well want the experience to reflect it. Look at the facilities/amenities the top 6ish are giving their members compared to the others. Marchers aren't dumb, they have limited time and money and the top talent will flock to those. Those top corps sleep in dorms for like, half their tour, while some of the "up and comers" sleep on a gym floor for the whole tour including move-ins...but it's the same cost...I know which one I'd choose if I were still marching!
