My purpose was to hear some information about other Corps Directors. Since I have been here 95% of the information I have seen has been about George Hopkins. I am well aware that being a Director is a thankless job which requires 24 hour a day attention and would not want that position for a million dollars. I am just perplexed as to why so much time has been spent on Hopkins. Granted he needs a publicity director to comb through his comments before they are published, but not knowing him,and going by what most say here, he is the worst thing to happen to drum corps. It just amuses me that so much time and effort goes into basically trashing a man who seems to have nothing but the activities best interests at heart even if you dislike the cadets. I am sure there are other directors who put their foot in their months so why is most of the time spent on George?? Oh wait this is the internet right??
