DCUK reduces cost of membership
The DCUK management team has worked hard on its commitment to reduce the cost of membership and further explored avenues of incentivising participation. The proposals put forward by the management team really do seem to hit the spot during the Corps Directors College that was held last Saturday.
In essence while there will be an upfront cost to register with MPA-UK and DCUK at both a corporate and individual level, DCUK are able to offer participation rebates to corps based on the level of their commitment and the number of shows they participate in.
In short the more shows that each individual corps compete in the higher the rebate on offer which means that in most cases corps who commit to the full calendar will see the actual cost of membership compared with 2006 and previous years reduce by up to 90 percent.
"In essence this move by DCUK to reduce the cost of participation in return for our commitment is fantastic news", commented one of the director upon hearing the proposal. "It means that we will be able to enjoy all the benefits of competing in a exclusively drum corps style environment at a fraction of the cost of previous years and use that saving to possibly take advantage of other membership opportunities within the marching band activity here in the UK."
