  3. There has been both. You are right in that aspect also. Even the sexual situation member agressiveness is not always thought of because many think " they are kids " they do and maybe more. Again I will say , if management isn't aware of how staff, AS WELL AS MEMBERS behave, they aren't doing their jobs. Will someone always slip through the cracks.. yes!

  4. Teaching styles for most are quite known. Bullying can also be viewed quit diffrently in some cases. Was it actually bulling or a staff member being tuff. Is someone bullied or just doesn'tlike to be critized, I've seen both hundreds of times over the years. Actual bulling or degrading is quite different and the corps management needs to be held accountable for their staff in all aspects. If management is not aware of all staff behaviors then they aren't good at their jobs and responsibilities. If management is the actual bully, then that's another issue. As I said earlier, an accusation needs to be investigated not just assume, nor follow someone innocent. If all accusations on all subjects went into a data base I think few peoples names would be off that list.

  6. The (rhymes with witch) is the security and in hooking up to multiple officials databases. Thinking one webpage to start the search but then that connects to (ugh) how many individual databases. Can just see it as too many places it can be hacked. And if a place changes software (going to be databases from different companies and different versions for each one 🤯) or web address and forgets to tell the people running the search website. 🤬 (been there, don’t miss it) And how much can we trust the people who are checking for names. Can you trust them that they are not digging for dirt on someone. (That’s why I needed a security clearance before I got access.) At the least each hiring group would need an account/password so outside people couldn’t just access the search engine. Lot of accounts for the search engine people to keep track of. And the hiring group would have to make sure the account/password only goes to the right people (see digging dirt comment above). Lol yeah this is part of what I did for a living 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 FBI and fingerprints? Never heard of it 😆. Very first day of work was fingerprinted and they were sent to FBI. If I commit a crime and leave a print, I’m screwed…. 😨

  9. You have no idea whether or not they were groomed. Also, you failed to mention anything of the adults who took advantage. Sounds a bit like victim blaming to me and not holding the men (I’m assuming) accountable. That mindset is a big part of the problem.

  12. Anyone interested in the kind of music the very first competition corps played when they started with no valves? I have collected a large amount of bugle music- hundreds of marches and over a thousand bugle calls from around the world. I started putting out a newsletter with bugle music. I created a pdf with 6 marches for anyone who signs up for the newsletter. Follow this link and you can sign up to get the PDF of music. Newsletter comes out every 2-4 weeks and each will include more music. (Plus articles, news, etc) I'm also working on putting it all into a book, so look for that in the future. (Sign up for the newsletter for updates and to find out first when it comes out)
