With the addition of amplification and electronics, and the inevitable addition of woodwinds and other instruments, can this be the future of drum corps?

I wouldn’t worry; I calculated a couple months ago that, at current rates for folding, the junior corps activity would fizzle out in eight or nine years. 😉 In all seriousness, I suspect that what’s going to need to happen within the next ten years is for the remaining DCI corps to merge into DCA. As long as DCA maintains control over the combined organization the activity should survive, but if DCI takes over all bets are off.
BOY have you hit the nail on the head, thanks for saying what we have all been thinking for a long time, I started marching in 1955 and still march in a Senior corps. tooooooooo many corps have died to accomodate the DCI image.
