They knew there had to be a way for corps to have a voice in their competition rules, tour schedules, and the di[ection of the activity. They so _ght the support of other cO·(E?S and; with the help of many volunteers who dedicated countless Rours to thiskiea, an organization began to take shape and flourish.
