We, the fans, current marching members, and alumni of the drum & bugle corps activity and DCI, specifically, hereby state that the level of dissatisfaction with the World Championships venue in Indianapolis, Indiana, at the Lucas Oil Stadium, has reached such a point as to apply to this general petition.

Specifically, in terms of the recent actions of risky contract with the Lucas Oil Stadium, an indoor facility, without significant sound testing and examination of the facility's structure for reverberant materials, conductive to long-standing, lingering sound.

Seeing as how current marching members receive a full-length video of their quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals performance in this venue, we believe it is inappropriate to leave as a memento for the rest of their lives, a quality of product which does not match their own.

We ask that you find a new venue for World Championships, one that matches the quality of Camp Randall, Bloomington, or Invesco.

We are responding in this strong fashion, because every other request that has been made to you, has fallen on deaf ears.
