    Hope the courts agree with them. Picturing YEA lawyers stoking up that it’s not on them

    I’m envisioning YEA saying that they have no money and his lawyers saying that you spun off YEA assets to shield them from YEA’s debt. The Cadets and all the assets were listed as YEA property in their 990s, so hopefully they did some legal tactics to eliminate that scenario.

    Just googling reddit and the same poster accused reddit of hiding abuse in corps also..... buuut can’t use the term he/she did.... 🤭

    edit: well I’ve just learned how low repartee on reddit gets. Just keep repeating “you’re part of the problem” to requests to discuss or answer a question... done

    Reddit is read-only for me.

    What's the difference between requiring them all to fly into Philly vs whatever FL airport?  Airfare is airfare. 

    Where they are geographically centered versus where they are not. Meaning if you live in Alabama and want to march Cadets, you expect to make some trips / flights to PA. If you live in West Chester, you probably aren't expecting to make a trip to Texas or Florida. I thought this camps were more of a regional recruitment effort.

    honestly i know many people had concerns that their donations went to whatever bill in YEA needed paid that as opposed to solely for the Cadets, so this could increase donations

    This! Even if they say 100% of donations go to The Cadets do they pull the routine where the $100 goes to the Cadets and then YEA reduces the amount that it give to The Cadets by $100. That happen a lot with star lotteries which claim that the proceeds goes to education or whatever and technically it does, but there isn't a net increase and the other programs that get the money are the real winners.

    The point of this is the irony of what was said when another corp from the northeast had camps in Fla.

    A large departure from their NJ /PA. roots and history!

    With cheap airfare and instantaneous global communication, roots and history really are just that - roots and history.

    Auditors tend to see through those kind of things rather easily.

    It would make sense that someone said earlier that the instruments were on "loan". Food truck and equipment truck could be an issue, but I think those are the biggies. Didn't the Cadets run a bus company, Cadets Coach or something like that? There was mention of it in a 990 but I couldn't find anything else on it. Possibly a way to get cheaper transportation costs by owning the buses and doing tour groups during the off season. I couldn't find anything else after searching.

    Under this new management plan, what happens to the alleged debt that exists? I say "alleged" because I have no clue as to the finances of the organization.

    Best of luck to the Cadets, going forward!!

    I was wondering that too, but I don't want to be negative. I'm sure they have good legal advice, but if the assets of YEA were siphoned off to Cadets and USBands before YEA files for bankruptcy, I can't see the creditors sitting around saying, "Well nothing left of value, we'll just cut our losses."

    Yep just talked to a guy who watched his daughters cheerleading competition. Supposedly one school was using a cell phone for a music feed instead of a CD due to licensing. Great time to lose a signal and... yep... that happened. 

    The individual teams wouldn’t have to take care of performance rights, that’s up to the venue. Now, if the performance is recorded or streamed, those are other licensing rights.

    This is right.  It will be, and reflect, the Cadets and all of its traditions.  Not GH.  That ######## is dead to the org and they should kill every outward reminder of him and his $$ schemes, including YEA! and USBands.  Jettison.  "Sell" them (someone here says that can't be done, but...). 

    Start new, with the old.

     

    The profit from USBands was very nice for the Cadets. I’m not a Hop fan, but that was a good move if he started it.

    it's really getting hard to post and respond here...

    HOPKINS was always posting FAR LEFT "ideals" but didn't live up to THEM

    I wasn't criticizing liberal ideals - I believe in most if not all of them

    "Liberal BS" doesn't sound like criticism? Come on.

    FROM HOPKINS. Everything he posted was from the liberal pandering BS handbook - but he DID NOT LIVE IT

    Not rolling my eyes at all. And not being political. Some folks talk a good game.

    Blame the liberal comes from another playbook.

    Totally agree but you build a strong organization and treating staff / volunteers and may I add all others including other corps by building a respectful human beings So the " liberal BS statement is actually contrary to the mission itself. 

    Cadets have ALWAYS, even going back before the formation of DCI 1st and foremost taught respect . This is nothing new to the Cadets.

    Liberal BS. Rolls eyes.
