Is this the third or fourth season post Covid? So doubt if that is part of the problem. I was wondering if it’s also getting harder to find housing and practice sites.

Donated twice towards members of a no longer DCI corps. Corps directed me to donate through their set up and not directly to the members. Wonder how much the members an actually got. Wonder as corps didn’t follow its own procedures and when I asked was told to talk to the member (corps organization washed its hands of the matter).

Ye olde “the problem isn’t that something bad happened, the problem is reporting it makes the group look bad”. Shades of when Penn State scandal broke (live in PSU country 🙄)

Yeah I heard a few things in the late 70s from an instructor regarding two of our high school aged guard members. Then didn’t think too much of it but today 🤮

You should have been in a Senior corps. 👍 Had one snare drummer light a cig just before he was told time to do warm ups. Muttered “I ain’t wasting this” and smoked it while warming up with rest of the line. When done he just turned his head and spit it out about 5 feet. Never missed a beat the whole time.

The post was repeating a quote from MAASINs founder…. As for suing is often the last resort, same thing said about Spirits current troubles. Person reporting went to management and complaint was supposedly buried. As for attacks towards the accuser, saw them myself on Spirits own FB page

True about the lip reading not being a 100% help. Need person facing you, good lighting and facial hair not covering lips. (I fail on that one). From what I read the players were talking directly to G players. “I’m going to run right at you”, etc etc. Not an expert on hearing impaired but had a deaf (word used at the time) congregation in our church. Learned a lot interacting with them, once a month combined services and the ASL class I took (and sucked at).

Ex-friend (walked out on wife hence the “ex”) went there. Story of their football team decades ago. Beat a high ranked team that got over confident. Other team players were saying out loud what they were going to do because “they can’t hear us”. No.. but they can read your lips. 🤦‍♂️

One main route (Rt 50) thru the whole peninsula. Never been thru there on a summer travel day (thank goodness). Brother in laws family lived near there (Easton) for couple of years. No idea of available housing or practice facilities.

Lot of pharmacies are having staffing problems. One I use (different chain) has cut back hours and started closing for a lunch period. Have heard same story for other places

Thinking of some of the people we had in our Senior corps… oh yeah… 😳😱😟

Who says the corps have to pay for the background check? Members would submit and pay for their own checks. And then turn the results to the corps before being allowed to join. Been a while but that’s what I had to do two different occasions. Wasn’t allowed to fully participate until I had the paperwork to show I was cleared.

What difference does it make that it was 2 of the same gender? And if someone is upset and you’re not, then they are triggered?

Way off topic and mods can delete if desired but sounds like the human trafficking training the DoD would give to military and civilians

Yeah really, you set up a human sacrifice pit in your backyard and people freak. 😈
