I have been hearing he is gone from alumni for hours, but no official PR from the organization yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d announce it very, very soon to stop the bleeding. Especially with the band circuit. That’s your money maker. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything they put together to announce will be reviewed 8 ways to Sunday before being posted, esp by the attorney(s). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furious-winter Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 From dcinewsnetwork on tumblr: Per Source: “Hopkins has already resigned, we’re just waiting for the official announcement. There was a video conference with staff and members.”. Stay tuned for more info. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmolnar Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I've wanted George Hopkins to resign for many years... but not like this. Not with victims left behind. So sad. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle B Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I love the people who are commenting that they have to hear about the resignation tonight. It's practically 10 PM. Everyone acts like this has to be done at lightning speed. Many schools are on spring break and having news come out tomorrow rather than today won't alter anyones mind. In this day and age of internet, everyone expects action or a response 2 minutes after something happens. Real world is people have to get together for meetings, conference calls, etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a camp starting tomorrow and the school has been made aware of the situation. Moving fast is necessary 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUARDLING Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 45 minutes ago, MikeM said: Actually, and this probably won’t win the day - but I’ll toss it out there: YEA needs to pull The Cadets and Cadets2 from all competition for the 2018 season. Why? There will only be this distraction for this year. Heck, parents may pull their kids out and leave them barely able to field a corps. Take 2018 to revamp and restructure the organization. Comeback after finals with everything in place to start the 2019 preparations even stronger. Show everyone that hey, yes this happened. But we’ve taken steps to make sure it won’t happen again. You can’t run a tour and try and recover from this. Thoughts? it can also be the reason for completely doing the opposite. Hop out could also be a resurge of the corps BUT a good business person needs to take over to fiscally get through the season. Love of a corps only gets you so far, that part is great for supporters, members, etc etc. STAFF spread your creative wings but either way there still has to be someone in charge. Taking a season off can be disastrous although I see why you say that. They have been together since 34 , no interruption even the disastrous Holy Name end, They can do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people contacted by the board's attorney as recently as two weeks ago. Not all investigations wrap up in a week, Mr. Mueller. Was watching some news on, um, cover ups, tonight and then a commercial came on featuring the song "My Favorite Things". Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
