inbetween

I marched DCA, and the brass caption head was like barely 20 if even that. He was plastered before we made it back to the busses after competing in prelims. He went on to march a top 5 corps his age out year, and is currently a high ranking staff member on a regularly finalist DCI corps. No clue if he cleaned up.

I worked with a corps that had a former member of Magic. Told us their last year, they would have to pick maggots and bugs out of the rice etc before they prepared it.

Ya'll this is better than family drama on facebook...

hahahaha not malicious? He didn't feed kids. He didn't provide working buses. ETC. GTFOH.

I very much enjoyed the small performances between corps at the Indy celebration. I would be interested to see something like that continued.

Dear glob, you're one of those.

The entire activity should be sitting the season out. and houses need to be cleaned.

I have first hand knowledge from crown. Not from the second corps. Only what I was told. The person at crown admitted to it in a conversation in which I was involved.

I'm struggling to think of one I haven't heard something like this about.

not the instance I'm speaking of, but I'm glad it is starting. The abuser in the situation I know of was a staff member.

They did it at crown then again at the next corps and high school they worked at. This person simply moved again and is working in another state.

I agree with this 100%

I'm waiting on some stuff from Crown to pop up. A few years ago it was pretty bad there as well.

They have "postponed" camp until next month.

they don't have a lot to keep them busy, it seems.

You may want to look up how well that has gone for cheerleading...

Bless your heart.

I've got a great one for them, Fired.

I thought the same thing. If they have no tangible proof, that was a brave move. I had heard about this but assumed the corps had settled it because it hadn't hit the "news". I guess they didn't. And they meant drag in the slang term. Pretty sure that is why it was put in quotes. Also want to point out MAASIN has already had its own trouble. Just had a member arrested for domestic violence. It is discussed on their blog if you're interested in reading.

Trust. Plenty of people said things. Many people did not care. Just like with every other "instructor" or "director" that has been successful.

I've never wanted to read something more in my life....

I know of one instructor, tried to force himself on a marching member. Was switched to another corps, where he was caught messing around with a high school student and now is at another school. He has been accused in South Carolina, North Carolina, Massachusetts and now Texas. This is why I am now a fan of one bad apple? Throw out the ENTIRE batch.

I just laughed so hard at this, people came to make sure I was ok.

I know alumni that have been abused both verbally and physically when their corps necklace was noticed. So yeah, I'm sure alumni were in the "know".
