I don't disagree about America's attention span. That's why I said it depends on how this story evolves. If the Inquirer doesn't come out with more articles,or if nothing comes out about other corps, it may fade over time. But . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, reporters are asking for more stories, which any follow up comments to that should probably be tossed over to the other thread where it's been an active part of the discussion.

My posts on this thread have only dealt with the corps,and their potentially having to deal with this on tour. Any comments I have on the whole GH issue I have/will post on the other thread.

For those who were at last weekend's camp,were there any reporters there ? One thing the Cadets and Cadets2 are going to have deal with , is media attention,especially at "home" shows in Pa. where either corps performs. Depending on how this story evolves,there could be a lot of media at both rehearsals and shows. If they haven't already,the Cadets and Cadets 2 really need to put a policy in place on corps members and staff dealing with the media. I would suggest that each corps designate 1-2 representatives to handle media questions. Again,as has been suggested previously,they need some type of P.R. firm who knows how to deal with this. I doubt most MM's have any experience dealing with the press and don't realize how, what may be to them,an innocent comment, can become a media firestorm. I would also think all corps need to be prepared to deal with the media this season. a PR firm has been hired. I expect much training on this to come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is gorgeous. Congrats to Drew and the marching members. FHNSAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MM's...and staff...need to be educated on exactly how to respond if and when asked about this issue. I'm sure the PR agency has people who can do just that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Who is running the guard caption, now? I just saw on FB that Kristy is gone. I know that George's daughter left the corps after last season (I can't begin to imagine how she has been affected by all this).
