Maybe there should be a rule against that? not like it helped the corps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Ok, while we are marking time, does the planet realize that Dan Acheson's two year term is up for vote this January 2018. Does he stay, does he retire after 22 years, should he stay, should he go? I like the man and think he's been a calming influence and bridge between the various egos. His response to Regiment at the fatal bus accident is what I want for a face of the activity, not just the numbers acumen for the bean counters. His intervention for the mms of Teal in Glens Falls is another example. What say you? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems pretty happy in his work so I'm guessing we'll get a few more years of his leadership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your inference, meaning Cadets. Most judges at some point have an affiliation with a corps. I have many friends that are judges that have been/marched/taught corps in the past. It is a small field for quality judges. All we can do is respect that the judges are impartial. LOL In a perfect world. I have no problem with judges having an affiliation. Again, small world. All I ask for is no bias. If what you are referencing, again I think your point is aimed at Cadets. Actually, judges that do YEA shows, do it for the love of the activity. TRUST me, they actually lose money personally. Between flight, room, food. They actually basically lose money during a judging a YEA show. So no, I have no problem. Actually I think SSF means being able to hire a DCI Judge that was judging during the current season and from all accounts was pulled from panels for questionable numbers.... While we're at it, how about Cesario being in charge of the judges for so many years all while being a head designer of uniforms at FJM and designing uniforms for many competitive drum corps.. conflict of interest?!? I'd say so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
