Another hobby of mine (being an all-around nerd) is Drum and Bugle Corps. The Championships are held every year in mid August. There have been 30 of these now, and none of them have been West of Dallas, although over 1/2 of the Championships have been won by Corps from California. The point is that, literally, 90% of the Corps are based in the Eastern half of the US, and these organizations are non-profit. Many of them, even the best ones, are just able to survive through a competition season which lasts less than two months, because trekking about 150-175 people cross-country for that period of time does cost quite a bit of money. I guess the ICGA decision-makers are using the same (not entirely flawed) reasoning as the DCI folks.... jm
