Will not post everyones fb status. She was the designer and Caption Head. https://www.facebook.com/jacob.taylor.370/posts/pfbid02CzTX42RKPGhqwTMCzHc8ZYSvEX4nHd1Dohvvs8cb2wRQSLHeMk1MvHuT33opMeQCl Jacob Taylor, Visual Caption Head announcing his departure, most of his visual staff also posted that they will not be returning • Corps Director • Operations Manager • Tour Director These jobs are all posted on their website... I don't need to go further into that
  8. lol “hardly a total replacement” Phantom Regiment staff not returning for 2023 • Corps Director • Operations Manager • Tour Director • Guard Designer • Guard caption head • The entire guard staff • Visual Caption head • The entire visual staff but yes hardly a replacement
  9. https://regiment.org/now-hiring-operations-manager/ https://regiment.org/now-hiring-drum-corps-director/ With these two postings, you can see the admin of the corps is completely changing, which isn't a negative thing, it just is
  10. They’re looking for a corps director and a tour director…. As the entire admin corps team will not be returning in 2023 THATS corps leadership…
  11. Looks like phantom regiment is replacing the entire corps leadership staff. https://regiment.org/now-hiring-operations-manager/?fbclid=IwAR1SF_UMCYHNiCxh8kshlpgN1HSaA9VWsd7gMfSlGoht5HoIJ_HRryk3Kvs
  12. I believe I am taking that all into account, theres a maybe 4-5corps that have other streams of revenue outside of the marching activity. Some is bingo, some is board buy in, some heavy marketing outreach partnerships. Regardless maybe 4 to 5 corps that actually have money. If we want to discuss money and how its 2022 and BD is the only corps running a revenue higher than 3mil (25+mil rev each year) actually has a strategic plan to continue to expand as an organization to serve its mission, I believe is the bigger problem regardless of on the field placement. YOU CANT SERVE YOUR MISSION IF YOU DONT HAVE CAPITAL COMING IN. A business plan is not band = loves = donations, so we can do summer band. When people actually build out what they want to serve, how they want to serve and the possibility of it, is very doable. Do some stats research and you’ll see how many opportunities there are to actually be successful! We still have nonprofits with that doesn't see their board as a strategic partnership and more they see it as a 501(c)(3) requirement. DCI as an entity being the number one culprit leader on not having a strategic board. Also, discussing money, yet most of these corps don't have a full time grant writer/full time development team/full time outreach money person. Here they all are discussing how they don't have enough money, and from the outside looking in, it looks like they do 0% on actually trying to get money in the door outside of band method way. Cadets is a great example, here they are with a brand new 501(c)(3) to make sure they start on a clean slate, and yet they didn't hire anyone that can actually bring the money in. The money excuse is exhausting to hear, we are an activity that has been around 50+ years and yet refuse to truly evolve the business side of the nonprofit... rantdone...
  13. Yes — they all resigned publicly on facebook….. or else I wouldn’t have shared it…
  14. Not the issue… but okay. This isn’t a Madison Scouts type situation. You don't think the fact that 11 members have resigned right after finals and both the CEO and Corps Director aren't really "Drum Corps Educators" in the current system is a problem.... Interesting that corps director no longer play into the effect of hiring the Ed Staff to keep them in the top 5
  15. I just don't know if the leadership at cavaliers know how to take a step forward from the CEO and/or Corps director
  16. Well.... There you have it folks, Michael Martin and Freddy Martin have both resigned from the Cavaliers which also means Kevin LeBoeuf is next and that makes 8/10 designers resigning, and if Kevin posts publicly that would just make 9 staff members publicly resigning. What a turnaround the leadership of this drum corps will have to do to maintain perfomers, recruit them into the buy in process as the biggest section of the drum corps leadership has now left.
  17. Carolina Crown will have a new corps director I hear
  18. I heard there will be a change in the office leadership at crown for the following summer, not sure exactly the change yet…
  19. I wonder why she was at DCI with them. In their booth wearing their merch regardless wishing spirit the best as they return
  20. Stephen Estudillo will stay as drill designer/visual coordinator. Bob Smith will also be back. Stephen and Bob will be in charge of hiring the next Visual&Guard caption head !
  21. I don't think it matters at all.... bac is doing very well and recruiting hasn't been an issue since fall of 2016....
  22. Money aside.... do you mean what happened to BAC? Prelims 2016 they were 13th Semis 16 -- 12th place Finals 16 -- 12th place Then Finals 17 they got 6th or 5th (cant remember in my head right now)
