Interesting article that was posted on Facebook drum and bugle corps. Read it, don’t read it.  I hope it will be insightful and thought provoking for some.  http://www.upbeacon.com/article/2018/04/wally-awards-critique

To quote a wiseman I know ... there is no pill ... there is no class that creep can take ...

I don’t want to go off topic but I’m always amazed when it’s a young man.

Alrighty folks. Since I am the OP and the only one that can update the OP, give me 24 hours or so and I will put updates there and maintain them.

Thanks for the suggestion everyone! Great idea that was just recently offered!

I'll delete the new thread and leave it to you.

FYI: John and I texted each other and worked out what happened when my posts got deleted way early this morning. If I understand right John was clearing some off topic posts and guess whose posts he saw first.... then he ran out of time before he could finish the cleansing. If nothing else learned John and must have the same schedule in the morning as my stuff disappeared minutes after I posted which was the other thing that cranked me up. No blood, no foul... besides John and I know what each other looks like lol

The answer to your question comes in two parts, and one of them has been generally ruled off-topic for this thread by mods. The part that's on-topic, specifically connected to Hopkins, is that Fiedler was floated as a possible successor. It's not clear to me that Fiedler had any interest in that. There was a report yesterday in this thread that somebody hacked the YEA website to say he was working for them now... he is not.

Go with the 1st part, that's the better bet. Give it some time, I'm sure we will have an SCV thread in the near future.
