George Dixon Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So much hyperbole in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBLUE Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Just watched last nights shows from The Cadets, Cavaliers, Santa Clara and Coats. Not stating this to be a jerk, but look at the crowd reaction to the Cadets at the end of their performance then compare it to that of the other three corps. Polite and respectful claps and slow to rise standing O. For a few seconds I was wondering if anyone was going to stand. Not use to seeing that from this organization.

Cadets have never found Texas particularly enthusiastic i remember in 93 and 95 when they got golf claps and the audience threw babies for scouts i also just watched the video cadets show is quickly improving!

kkpjm16 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So I thought they were cutting out one "let us pray" and the "Jesus Christ" part of narration...or is that on the slate for San Antonio? Kudos for the MMs for performing so well in that heat...not just Cadets but all corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But -- when the CEO's public statements are contrary or at odds with the stated mission of the organization, I think they have a fiduciary duty to act. I highly doubt the board monitors social media posts. If someone has a specific complaint that they believe requires action (and that relates to any subject), the best way to deal with it is to contact a board officer and register the concern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you knew how many times this has already been done, you'd be very surprised. In YEA, the Board works for the CEO, which is exactly the opposite of how corporate governance is supposed to work. It's absolutely maddening because of course George Hopkins deserves some reverence -- without him and some of the things he did 25+ years ago, the corps wouldn't exist -- but as the activity passes him by, he stands pat and even doubles down. There is no real oversight of the office and it shows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hand picked board, which is something that happens = no accountability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortAndFast Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Were there some changes to the Dona Nobis Pacem section in the latest video? I've always felt this was one of the most obvious drum corps moments in Mass, but I wasn't really feeling it in the Denton video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
