phd-student-TTU Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 1 hour ago, BRASSO said: The Townshend/ May went to Carolina Crown in 2003. For historical perspective, Carolina Crown was a 16th place Corps in 2002. In 2003, CC moved up 6 positions in 1 season to 10th..... and 7th in 2004. Over the next 11 seasons, Crown had 7 top 5 finishes, 4 medalist seasons, and 1 Championship. I don't ever recall in the last 14 seasons anyone ever accusing Townshend/ May or Potter ( who came to CC in 2009 ) of " blaming the kids " at Carolina Crown for a " show not working ". These 3 over the last decade or so did not just work with CC... they worked with other Corps, other scholastic MB's and lots of Guards. Not once were any of them tagged with " blaming their performers " for anything that might not have reached expectations. ( mostly, they've met, or exceeded expectations wherever they have gone). Townshend, lest we forget, was also the Program Coordinator for the 2016 Academy show program that was both highly popular, as well as one that catapulted this Corps into its 1st Finalist placing Corps in its history. Its quite curious then to hear such vocal criticisms of these fine educators coming now from the Carolina Crown Camp. For the past 14 seasons, we heard nothing out of the CC camp except except how great people, and what great educators they are. The same thing we've heard everywhere they have gone both inside and outside of CC the last 25 years. Question then, ... when CC finished in 16th place in 2002,( the year before these staffers helped turn it around at CC in a major way,) did the previous design staff at CC " blame the kids " for.. " the show not working ".. resulting in a 16th place finish for Carolina Crown ? Talk to ppl who marched in '14. They'll tell you plenty.

I've " talked " with both former CC marchers as well as MB marchers, as well as Guard marchers, and to a one, they have not mentioned anything about Townshend, May, Potter as " blaming " the kids when a show might not reach its hoped for result. As a matter of fact, to a one, they told me that they enjoyed performing their shows, even if others might have expected different results. So, all this means is that your insults of these highly regarded educators on here, is not shared by me in my conversations with performers both inside CC and outside of CC that marched under their wing, and over a period of many years, including that of " 2014 ".

BRASSO Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Carolina Crown honks throwing its former marchers ( last week ) overboard as" financial deadbeats " for allegedly not paying their CC " scholarships" money back, now this week calling its former CC highly regarded former staff members as " blaming the kids " when results of the show does not meet others expectations, is an epic fail, imo. Its classless, and of course that goes without saying, as few are buying that the former CC marchers and its respected staff are such people. These CC honks here on DCP swallow too many bitter pills of late it would appear. Also, the attack on Drum Corps fans in general as " psychotic lunatics " today only isolates these CC honks further from the general DCI, WGI, BOA community that does not share their derogatory assessments on the former CC marchers, staff, nor of Drum Corps fans in general.

BRASSO Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Corpsband has apparently convinced himself that his " visualization aid memes " are working when he throws former CC staffers, former CC marchers, Drum Corps fans in general, etc under the bus the last 2 weeks on here. Oh sure, like THATS working well. ( lol!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
