2007 DCI rules proposals published
Raising corps membership limits and allowing use of electronic instruments, among seven other proposals up for discussion at January DCI board meeting. Submissions have come from George Hopkins (The Cadets), Jeff Fiedler (The Cavaliers), David Gibbs (Blue Devils), and George Oliviero (DCI judge administration).
The Boston Crusaders, seen here at the 2006 DCI World Championships, utilized props that were moved during the performance. Up for discussion in January will be a rule proposing that specific 'prop persons' not be counted toward corps membership limits.
Ten rules will be considered at the Drum Corps International winter meetings from January 25th - 28th in Atlanta. Instructors and corps directors will deliberate on these proposals at those meetings according to a series of considerations including educational, creative, logistical and fiscal impacts.
This year's proposed rules cover a wide-range of topics including raising the corps membership limit to 150, extending a corps' warm-up time after entering the field for performance, modifying the role of certain judge positions, and allowing the use of electronic instruments in performances.
