GSNewell Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Pat Seidling, former Phantom Regiment director, had a good approach when this came up in "charity" discussions. He would say -- and I'm paraphrasing here -- that if you have $5 to give and it's going to either a charity to help the ill or to Phantom Regiment, by all means give it to the charity helping the ill. If you can make multiple donations, please consider Phantom Regiment. He liked to say that drum corps are nonprofits, not charities. He was right. Thousands of organizations need financial support, and there needs to be balance in our world. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc03 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 By that way of thinking, all charitable giving should be done with a punchlist of severity. So which is really important - cancer research or heart research? AIDS research or stopping the killing in Africa? Service orgs for the disabled or school lunches for kids from poor homes? Any of these or drum corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjones0611 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=...5127&ref=nf Crown just posted a "thank you" video on the Chase page thanking everyone for voting so far. Its a preview of their 2010 encore version of the end of the 2007 show "Triple Crown" which they WILL be playing this summer. I think it sounds really great. Although I REALLY wish they'd post some of the show stuff. Hopefully that will come soon. And is that a BATON I see Crown's DM using? Awesome! *Edited because the link was wrong.
