Roark1 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think all of us have heard various stories over the years about corps helping each other out in times of distress. From lending busses and corps trucks, to providing meals, to lending equipment, to sharing housing sites, etc. Even though corps “compete” against each other, this activity really is a large extended family. When something as catastrophic (for the kids involved) as this happens, seeing the response from the extended “family” is really heartwarming. Yes, there will be a lot of finger pointing down the road, but seeing other crops reach out to these kids and staff agreeing to do re-write drills to accommodate more kids is wonderful. These are the kind of lessons that all of the young people in the activity are really learning about what’s important in our world today. Well done all!

TSMom Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 As a mom of one of these Kids from Teal Sound, I have to say thank you to all the corps out there who are taking our kids in. The hurt that I hear in my sons voice when I talk to him is heartbreaking. I hope that all these kids, who want to continue their season, are able to find spots. Onward and Upward is what I am telling my son. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Dear Teal Sound Mom, As corps parents, our hearts bleed for your kids. From age-outs to rookies, we hope all of the kids bounce back from this and have another chance to fulfill their corps dreams. (Also, not sure if it was mentioned in this thread, but I noticed a posting on TS's facebook from Academy looking to fill a couple spots) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanditKir Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 well someone's summer is about to get a lot more exciting! Unless he's running the met... Come on, it had to be said! Seriously, I hope as many Teal Sound members find a place to march this summer. I saw their bass line at a couple of shows and those guys were good!

I saw their bass line at a couple of shows and those guys were good! Well...no... it didn't. Anyway there really is a tuba hole at Crown (due to injury I think). Jordan nailed it: that kid's a drumcorps lottery winner ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
