    BLUE DEVILS 2022 The Return

    in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

    Posted

    Speaking of rings.

    VERY early phone call tomorrow morning.

    Hello.  Is this Tiffany's?  We hate to interrupt your breakfast, but we need to order about 200 Championship rings.

    For the 20th time the 2022 "Moon River" Blue Devils Drum Corps from Concord, California have won the Championship.  We will need to send  you the sizes for most of the marching members. But, the sizes for the staff are still the same.  They never change.

    There are many times when I refuse to read the comments.  They are most often from people who have no clue about what other people go through in their lives and who feel the need to comment.  

    Throughout my life I've met people who were victims and mostly from their family.   I had a friend in the '80s who had very abrasive opinions on many things.  If you listen closely you see patterns. 

    We got closer and I eventually asked her.  "Did something happen in your childhood that made you feel this way?"

    The answer...

    "yes."

    Her father abused her as a child.  We are talking about organizations but for many it's beyond that. 

    Her last name wasn't Kenton was it?

    I believe this happens sometimes, although the barrier is pretty high. Jim notes one argument that is used in such cases is ineffective counsel: you fire your original lawyer and your new lawyer argues that your first lawyer really botched things. And as ILC notes, there's a risk in doing that.

    There's one federal case that's been in and out of the news over the past couple years where someone pleaded guilty to a crime, admitted in official court filings that he did it, wasn't charged with a number of more serious crimes that he apparently did, cooperated with prosecutors in providing evidence about other people's crimes, got a recommendation from prosecutors for a sentence of probation, stated under oath at his sentencing hearing that he committed the crime to which he had pleaded guilty, was met with some skepticism from the judge about whether he had done everything he could to help prosecutors, agreed to postpone the sentencing further so he could cooperate some more ... and then fired his lawyers and hired new ones, and then began to get uncooperative with prosecutors (so that one of their other cases got botched because they couldn't use his testimony), and then had his new lawyers throw up a one sketchy argument after another about how the prosecution had been unfair to him, all of which the judge shot down, and finally the defendant said that he's not actually guilty and that he had only said he was guilty because he was given bad advice by his original lawyers, so that there's going to have to be a hearing (or at least some depositions--confirmed just this week) in which his original lawyers will have to testify about whether or not they did their jobs. But even if the judge then lets him withdraw his plea, there's still the matter of his having testified under oath that he did the crime, which he now says isn't true (although he hasn't said that under oath yet), which means that the prosecutors could then go after him for perjury.

    So things like this do happen. For the sake of the victims, I hope that they don't happen in this case.

    From what I've gathered… General Flynn took the plea to protect his son.

    Do Cavaliers catch Crown?

    I lurk on here quite a bit.  Just don't want to get involved in all of the banter.  

    I went to the show in Murfreesboro last Friday and really came away with some interesting conclusions.  Especially after all of the dialog I've been reading about corps not marching and playing at the same time--the old "park and bark" thing.

    Whoda thunk ya'll were talking about the Cavaliers!

    The ghost light provides light at night for any spirits to be able to see and even “perform” or dance on the stage. We’re in this place where anything can happen, who knows what ghosts are lurking around and what wonderful shows have been here before. Something will appear from the past. Who else is in the building except ghosts when the light is deployed?
