JKT90 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) There will be no leadership change at Cadets until it hits the fan...the board can do nothing. He's empire built and all involved serve him. It cannot sustain itself and be a medal contender any longer. Am I wrong...we shall see. Things evolve slowly but change quickly, and we wonder why we never saw it coming. Edited July 21, 2017 by JKT90 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT PR Dr. Drew at his best as educator/caption head and person who knows his line by name, instrument, and home origin. Look at the size of the crowd -proper age cohort for future membership/tee shirt sales/fans in general. Note that the corps is spending time being renewed by the affirmation, the air conditioning, and the challenge to be a performer most excellent in all venues when as a Cadet. Much in between the lines education of Texas band directors (many who are also judges for DCI and band circuits) as the elements of the corps are broken down/exposed/and performed in a more relaxed but stage present way. The tape cuts off just before the corps runs through some of its show music I presume. But a great opportunity well used for recruiting, fan building, and networking. Thanks Mr. Dixon for sharing this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else who posted below his Facebook post just seems to encourage. Ahh well. Maybe some are being quiet on Facebook on his post and choosing to vent their frustration here instead. Tekk, I think that's part of the issue though. The #####ing on DCP is simply an outlet to vent because we know nothing will be done. If the BOT seems content to keep Hopkins in place after all this (falling placements, departing staff, social media gaffes), then there's nothing a strongly worded email from me is going to do to change their minds. Short of donating (for the last time) a few bucks to the organization, I'm a nobody to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had one. His name was Justin Heimbecker. He went to the Blue Devils. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not have the show content False. Boston is selling the hell out of their show. Cadets are selling what they can, but their product is just not as good. By Indianapolis, this show will end up being an Angels & Demons wannabe, mixed with a healthy dose of heavy-handed American Portrait with layers of WTF-are-we-doing (aka Awakening). 7th is their max, unfortunately. They're just being out-designed. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
