What, the George Soros of drum corps..wow.

I have been CVS minute clinics and never had an issue. Here I think they are Advocate health care systems.

I wonder if they would let corps use Sam's Club as well? Costco next?

This.

Something we need to know? LOL

Find me something not 10+ years old. Also, it does happen. Best practice is to NOT go on social media but to open a Police report. I would like to clarify this latest Reddit, am I mistaken this is someone that isn't actually involved is reporting this? This seemed 3rd person? Depends if they ARE a survivor; see my question. I haven't come down on anyone.

1. I dunno anymore about that. 2. They absolutely needed to quash that. Even IF it is true you can't just accuse people without due process. I feel like a broken record with you on this. There is a right way to go about this and it's the police. If you can go on social media, you can file a report with the police. If you are going on reddit without filing a police report and are encouraging this...just no. You can actually hurt your case doing this.

AND, here we are again not going to police and posting on social media.

Ah, the smell of drum corps bus.....

Well, to be fair they are only given powers that the corps want. Also, we HAVE laws to protect people at the local level. The problem is getting those that are wronged to USE those laws. I would even argue that if it's fixed locally and immediately is a MUCH better solution for everyone. I can't imagine dragging this out (for the person wronged) does anyone any good. I would hope the culture of hiding abuse is being reversed and that we start using these laws rather than shaming yourself into silence. Easier said than done I am sure but even IF DCI had these powers, if it's never looked into by the proper authorities we are back to square one.

Bit harsh. DCI has so little power..even less so BITD. It's not like they wield amazing executive powers. They may very well be not culpable according to their very limited powers and scope.

Was it put up today?

Civil courts are WAY different. I hope no one here ever has to go through that hell. Basically, in criminal courts you are innocent until proven guilty. In civil you are guilty until you prove you are innocent.

Yep this.

One of the reasons that the lower limit was probably a better decision. I get 128 was because of buses but kids that could and would have marched elsewhere allowed even more advantage to corps better off or known.

Perfect

So, you need to give personal info to a 3rd party to get the information? Hard pass.

Yes, but when someone went through the trouble of counting openings why not just publish the sources? Hell, there may even be corps no one knows about close by.

It would be more helpful for potential members if they broke down where the openings are.

Ya, that seems a little sus.

Won total? Probably none? In the spread of corps a LOT probably got more effect than they should have perhaps?

So separate and not equal? Seems kind of a backwards step. Anyhow, I just hope Bloo gets a better costume/uniform designer this year.

I dunno about that. Corps that want to play the game follow the score. Writing music for visual vs visual written for the music. I will take the second every time. The first will be disjointed no matter what you do. Yes, I know some will say it's "so advanced and integrated now" that there is no line....to that I say nonsense.
