GUARDLING Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 2 minutes ago, JimF-LowBari said: Ok quick question: would corps members know the names of all the staff and other workers before they go on tour. We seemed to have a revolving door at times as we rebuilt and had different needs. Thinking of ability to do it yourself checks here. And I’m sure the ye olde no internet on tour went out the window with smart phones. Like the no cameras of any kind at work kinda went kaput For sure. If they chose to either ask or get a list. Kids today look 1st then go to a corps. Many will follow a staff member and if that staff moves on many of the member's will. Very different from past years. AS far as phone and internet. You can go on a bus and hear a cricket ( not like when we were younger ) kids 2 seats away from another are texting each other. Or friends in other corps.

In many of these WC corps parent involvement usually are the same ole same ole parents. I did many auditions over the years and YES there are some parents there but for the most part, unless they are very young ( not many in WC upper corps ) there aren't a huge amount of parents Edited May 21, 2018 by GUARDLING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - I do understand the literal difference. I was getting at the point of why Moody’s employment should be considered not ok in one environment with youth but ok in another. You bring up a good point. You don’t need a teaching license to work on a drum corps staff, but shouldn’t the revocation of a teaching license speak much more loudly than not having one in the first place?
