MikeRapp Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Very good job by Mr. Litzenberg, and shameful for the school that promised housing and then pulled it at the last minute. I’d like to know who did this. If this is a public school, someone is gonna get a carefully worded email from me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOA Dad Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 My son may be performing with Spirit, but after seeing how Mr. Litzenberg handled this, I think I am going to become a Cadets fan as well. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our child marched with Spirit 2 years, the Cadets 2 years, now with Boston 3 years, and my wife is an Academy fan and for some reason I like the Madison Scouts.

Popular Post Beau R Posted July 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) My name is Beau Rowell and I'm a Board member of Friends of Spirit, Inc., which operates the Spirit of Atlanta Drum & Bugle Corps. With respect to housing for Cadets for the Hoschton, GA show, both Spirit and Cadets were caught off guard about the loss of Woodland HS as a housing site for the Cadets, only learning about it last night during the Valdosta, GA show. We are very thankful to the staff at Cairo High School, who made their facilities available at the last minute for Cadets. Further, we understand Cadet's decision to not attend the Hoschton show at Mill Creek HS due to the distances between Cairo HS and Mill Creek HS. Here are the facts surrounding Woodland HS as a housing site for Cadets for the Hoschton show: the Friends of Spirit team dealt with a particular individual at Woodland, who had confirmed to us in writing in May that Woodland could house Cadets on July 10/11 during the Valdosta show last night is when it became known that Woodland HS wasn't available as a housing site for Cadets Friends of Spirit has learned in the last couple hours that the individual we were dealing with on housing suddenly no longer works for Woodland and, prior to his departure from Woodland, apparently didn't follow proper procedures to officially request that the school be used as a housing site for July 10/11, despite telling us otherwise as a result the Woodland school administration was not aware of the Cadets' arrival for July 10/11 we do not know at this time if other events are occurring at Woodland today, but it's likely that football practice or other activities could have been a conflict Woodland did try to make it work but were not able to make arrangements at the last minute Securing housing sites is a big challenge for all DCI drum corps. Please know that the principal at Woodland High School is NOT the person to be blamed this situation. As you now know, the principal did not "back out" and in fact did all they could to try to make it work. From Woodland's perspective, they learned that Cadets would be arriving with only about six hours notice. Hopefully you now understand this situation. We respectfully ask that you not bombard Principal Ellis and blame her for Woodland not being available for Cadets. Sending her derogatory letters will not help this situation, and in fact could be problematic long term for Spirit, which held spring training at Woodland. We've worked diligently at developing positive relationships with school districts in the greater Atlanta area. Let's please not undermine the foundations built by blaming the wrong person for this situation. Thank you.

When's the last time we've seen something this professional-sounding come from the Cadets FB page? Refreshing 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Wasn't there a similar housing situation involving the Cadets a few years back that their former director did not handle very well? I want to say it was 2013 somewhere in Mississippi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
