Jeff Ream Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, hostrauser said: My understanding (from an "off-the-record" conversation with a YEA! staffer) is that The Cadets would have gone under years ago if not for their USBands cash cow. Their marching band circuit is basically carrying every other part of the organization. Now, I have ALSO heard a rumor from people in the band world on the eastern seaboard that USBands has started pulling a few shenanigans and there are rumblings of discontent about what they are doing and who is responsible. Which leads me to the speculation that IF George Hopkins is out at YEA!, it will be not because of his recent mishandling of The Cadets but rather (ironically) his recent mishandling of USBands. Purely hypothetical scenario pondering, mind you. shenanigans? You mean like in 2008 changing a show to a "regional" at the last minute and sending out invoices for extra cash? Or sending gold panels to shows contracted for silver panels? stuff like that has been happening for years. Doesn't seem to be as many freebies as there used to be tho Edited August 14, 2017 by Jeff Ream 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snare_guy_83 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 "Drum corps not announcing their staffs" is what he said. Does that mean that a staff member from X Corps can't publicly announce their departure for said corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
