If I read another bio with “so and so comes to us with a wealth of experience” I may just lose it

If you’re chasing a ring wouldn’t you limit your auditioning process to one corps? 😈

“People are saying.” 😂

Make it a Forensic CPA

The rescinded Blue Devils contract made it on here but not the Crown contract. I would love to give Crown the benefit of the doubt for maybe not knowing his background

The member behind the Spirit incident comes to mind. Their contract with BD was rescinded for ‘22 but Crown accepted them for ‘23. I find that reminiscent of religious organizations that shuffled abusers about

I would love to see a corps do a Jacques Demy/Michel Legrand inspired show . This is a jaunty tune with some fun riffs. The solfège section brings back music theory trauma but I can overlook it lol https://youtu.be/0S8_x-qOCBI?si=cWPiISfTH6eGplZN

Was that CH a member of Crown ca. 2008-10ish? Spill the tea

So he’s been a festering pos for close to four decades that he was director of the Cadets? I’m sickened by that.

Five separate counts, ten John Doe co-defendants. According to filing, Discovery has already taken place?

I would love to hear more about Blue Stars Japan audition camp. What connections the corps has to groups in Japan, shared staff, logistics, etc

This statement from their site is misleading. Typo perhaps? Capital Regiment found quick success within Drum Corps International during it’s early seasons, breaking through to DCI World Class Finals for five straight seasons starting in 2002 and ranking as high as 14th in 2004.

Let them eat cake iykyk

If you asked them their profession they would respond, Marine. 👍🏽

No one has mentioned that the executive director also resigned.

Scouts?

Prelims on Thursday?

Do DCI or any of the corps have a presence at Honda Battle of the Bands? Norfolk State University is my fave

Bluecoats had an HBCU scholarship fund I donated to. I don’t know if they still do. I haven’t gotten a request in a couple years.

I’m confused. Why wouldn’t it be important right now?

Pioneer is still running a bingo operation. I’m curious what they’re funding with the proceeds. (I actually shook my head a bit in disgust when I typed Pioneer.) 😉

Getting off topic but… I remember watching the PBS broadcast back in the 70’s when Maynard Ferguson stated something to the effect that women were physiologically limited when it came to brass playing. Even my 14 year old self was like WTF?

Is he the one who said that? I remember that quote. Tone deaf at best.

This thread will get back to staff changes soon enough. It’s just that dcp abhors a vacuum
