I have been a long time reader of DCP and felt compelled to finally post something.
I really feel you have not thought enough to even come close to judging this man for trying to give something to drum corps in a positive, I myself have been to 2 of his camps and know he does in fact have a corps and when i spoke to him this morning he wouldn't give me a reason why he won't go DCA this year. i guess he has his reasons but as always they are his to do with as his wishes are and not mine to comment on.
I felt his thoughts on this arena stuff was sound and could have worked but again he didn't want to talk about it. I know he is on the road alot of the day and this could be why he hasn't spoken for himself but i wish him well in whatever he decides to do, at the very least i can say that he is doing what he is doing for a reason while he could be just relaxing and enjoying is time off but he decided to do Drum Corps. for that i will tip my hat to him and hope he does well.
