Doesn’t really work. And there’s a distinct possibility that if you don’t practice good hygiene and prepare food, tapeworm eggs will get in the food and cause people to develop larval cysts in their liver, lungs, brain….

Let's be honest... drum corps is Law & Order: SVU

Oh man Brasso!

Nice. My wife studies tapeworms for a living (and mine tbh)

🙂🙃🙂

Man, the director of long-dead Capital Regiment (last fielded 2009) paid himself $50k a year from the zombie nonprofit’s bingo game (as of 2018 at least)

Wanna share?

Lots of people with professional experience on these types of issues and policies have commented on threads here. All of them have been critical of the structures put in place by individual orgs and DCI

So she gets fired from Cadets immediately…. riiiight?….

A mess!

This will be the best reunion since the two 27th Lancers events…

this is weird

Plenty of good reasons to hope for the demise of the Olympics and USOC

why not both

Constant turnover at the top is bad

Went there in 2019 and it was a nice time. Went on a hike in the Kettle Moraine State Forest nearby and then got a nice dinner in “downtown” Whitewater before the show (sat next to the judges, lol). Recommended

I marched 1953 Madison Scouts

Drum corps people value volume over actual musicianship

…wat

LoL pretty absurd that that is the only info. Imagine if they said “Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virgina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware, TBD.”

IMO it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it well, in both design and execution.

I took my wife to her first in-person show at Whitewater in 2019. Bluecoats, etc. We had a great time. Seems like a good one to go out on, and close the door on participating in the “marching arts.”

A good thought and probably a real factor, but also… who can afford to march 3 or 4 years in a top corps when fees plus travel to camps is like $7-8k a year?

The timing of this coming out is doing a great job of showing just how ineffectual DCI is at reforming the activity. Won't actually do anything about members being groomed, harassed, and assaulted, but .... We're continuing the conversation on mental health!

Speaking of institutions not worth mourning...
