  1. Not only we’re audition fees taken but audition packets fees and even some contracts were emailed out…. sad day for the activity…
  2. That’s what I heard as well. Someone posted on here about water industry. There’s an ED in the water industry that resigned “to pursue other interest” that I’m wondering if that’s the person. If so, nothing really impressed me on the resume…. But I am hopeful for change and move the org/entity and activity forward!
  3. Uhhhhhh the only thing they changed was hire an ED and fire the corps manager. But the director assistant director and basically everyone else is still involved. Not much has changed to be honest other than they now take members seriously because they got put on blast. Splanta in my eyes “didn’t do much” and still doesn’t I believe now after all these years the ED might be full time?!
  4. couldn’t agree more. What a huge pick for X-men team!!!
  5. So what youre saying is we should have a CEO/ED who runs the business growth of DCI as an entity and a Director of Programs , Drum Corps -- who helps run the drum corps side of what the entire DCI office does ? Because I also agree that institutional knowledge is important, but its also time to get in there and grow the entity. There's so many things DCI can offer but yet I am not ssure why they don't, so let someone take care of the corps and their director and the CLevel suite of DCI grow the business -- thats in my honest opinion ....
  6. Per Gems website: IN Tim Leonelli - Brass Design/Music Supervisor/Brass Creative Jon Anderson - Percussion Arranger Luke Zamprelli - Drill Designer & Visual Supervisor Ryan Stratford - Visual Caption Head OUT Key Poulan - Brass Arranger/Winds & Music Supervisor Mike Huestis - Percussion Arranger Brooks Anderson - Drill, Visual, & Lighting Designer George Salinas - Visual Caption Head Change of Title Anthony Cruddas - Brass Consultant to Creative Team Coordinator Frank Solis - Brass Caption Head to Educational Staff Coordinator Bill Hawkes - Brass Technician to Brass Caption Head Shaka Hawkins - Brass Technician to Ensemble Specialist Amanda Stevenson - Brass Technician to Ensemble Specialist Tyler McClendon - Percussion Co-Caption Head to Percussion Supervisor Scott Lowe - Percussion Caption Head
  7. For the sake of moving forward and "bigger" I hope its not an internal hire.... either at DCI office or Corps Directors themselves...
  8. The Cadets, Jacob Gall, posted on facebook he will not be returning. Jacob Gall is a huge loss in my opinion as someone who has been with the corps since 2006, teaching since 2009. Long tenure during his era with changes in the percussion section design/leadership but he remained through it all. Wishing him the best of luck on his new adventures, wishing the cadets a huge positive vibe trying to find a replacement
  9. Just wanted to give GEM a shoutout for keeping up with all of the staff changes recently on their website https://www.generaleffect.media/p/dci-staff-changes-2023
  10. Per Troopers Facebook post and website update: MICHAEL D. GOUGH Promoted Executive Director MARY DUERKOP Promoted Corps Director Jeremy Basso Co-Brass Caption Head Gabe Gallegos Co-Brass Caption Head
  11. Per facebook : Tony Lymon Lead Audio Engineer Has left his position at carolina crown
  12. Treasure of the board DOES NOT equal CFO of the organization. He is on the board for checks and balances from the day to day staff. BIG DIFFERENCE. The CFO/Controller/Director of Finance, who reports to the CEO, has a dotted line of presenting financial reports to the board. Two different positions, as someone mentioned above, the finance world is all digitized at this point, coming to an actual building to the work, is the same as working from home. Now, to your otherstatement of talking to donors and being involved, I do find it interesting that the corps director lives in Florida, and not at all connected to California, but Russ Gavin should be the "face" and "shaking hands" in the community where he does live in california.
  13. Per website and facebook and GEM postings It also looks like that Brian Murphy is now going to be fully focused on running the corps and no longer program coordination OUT Ben Potts - Audio Creative Consultant Change of Title Justin Moore - COO to Technology Manager
  14. Full announcement on social media, but here's the team leading vanguard creative side: Dan Morrison Program Coordinator Michael Gaines Visual Designer Andy Toth Visual Designer/Coordinator Paul Rennick Percussion Caption Manager, Battery Arranger, Music Coordinator Sandi Rennick Front Ensemble Arranger Evan VanDoren Brass Arranger, Brass Coordinator Michael Rosales Lead Choreographer Tyler Richards Lead Equipment Choreographer/Designer Wayne Harris Performance Coach
  15. Looks like GEM has updated their staff list :::: https://generaleffectmedia.substack.com/p/dci-staff-changes-2023
