It's interesting that the corps created a brand-new Drum Corps Business Manager position alongside returning leadership roles. Splitting administrative duties this way suggests the organization is prioritizing long-term sustainability over simply filling familiar seats. I'm curious how responsibilities will be divided between the Executive Director and this new business-focused role, especially since overlapping authority can sometimes slow decisions. Does the corps see this structure as a permanent model for future seasons, or is it tailored specifically to support the 2027 return to the DCI Tour?
