Design, teaching, or both? VISUAL CAPTION HEAD Jacob Taylor (per facebook has left) with the rest of the visual team COLOR GUARD DESIGNER & CAPTION HEAD Stephanie Chavez ASSISTANT COLOR GUARD CAPTION HEAD Sheldon Apo Has also left with the rest of their team

Phantom Regiment complete visual overhaul (colorguard team and visual team) is in the works...

she always impressed me as someone who would be very good at shuffling papers around on her desk you know….. some would agree she barely did even that 😂

Welll is it power to them?! YEA! Folded and Denise Bonfiglio became the CEO…. not sure if hiring Vicki was the right move in my opinion

The Labor Day rule duh — there’s penalties if you do it before hand!

Heard they hired Vicki F. Ray. She was in their booth at dci finals she was the former ED at YEA!

Alright here we have the first corps to make an announcement https://www.spiritofatlanta.org/news/designteam

https://www.arizonaacademy.org/staff/2022-design-team/ https://www.arizonaacademy.org/staff/2022-lead-staff/ both of these pages have it under their about --> staff pages.... They are on the website...

https://pubhtml5.com/xada/gonk/Drum_Corps_International_50th_Anniversary_Program_Information/ right here

The Entire percussion staff at Academy has resigned including caption head & arranger Nicole Casino out as the battery caption head at PC Crossmen Assistand Director, Brass Caption Head, Assistant Brass Caption Head are all out as well

while I agree with you -- Guard Caption head/designer doesn't look like shes coming back based on her fb posts.... and some trumors

Good, bad, or ugly....the phrase "give it a few years" and modern day drum corps don't mix. Kids nor their parents are juiced about paying $5K to be part of a "maybe it will work" rebuilding experiment. The Cavaliers have a brand built around the brotherhood of an All-Male corps. I don't work for nor speak for the organization, but my semi-educated opinion of the organizations priorities says this issue isn't even on the list of things to consider moving forward. that comment was about madison? maybe I misread what youre putting out there

I think every corps does a Texas camp nowadays and that's what's hurting Crossmen. Just like any top 3 corps -- Those who want to be there will be there, BAC no longer needs to recruit from the northeast or Florida for that matter. Their guard staff speaks for itself not only during the summer, but the POWERHOUSE of the indoor units they teach. Brass staff.... Have you seen their texas band programs... Drums... I don't think we even need to discuss that... Colin & Iain Moyer will be just fine... The drum corps will be just fine! Matter of fact THEYVE BEEN FINE since 2017 and everything after that has just been building to this moment of the end of 2022!

News from BDPA, looks like they’re on a search… https://bluedevils.org/news/article.php?ID=1033

A brand new team completely. From CEO to COO/DOO to new corps director to all that is needed. https://www.crossmen.org/post/2022-design-staff and change of

Looks like the crossmen is looking for their new sets of Admins, including full time office admins.

This has nothing to do so much with the previous organization or money but more with the new management not being able to manage, be transparent and communicate to the staff about their plans for the future. The staff did not/does not trust the new management hence resignations left and right....

From what I understand it looks like it’s the current management and board!

^^ agreed.... just overall management things I heard....

They raised over 100K actually. But I heard the same rumors they are asking every member for $1600 for the 2020 season.....

If you go on their website you will see that the entire design team has resigned except Ed Devlin. Today the last one Andrew M. (music writer) announced his resignation. You will also notice the entire Colorguard educational team has left. Some of the visual guys as well. Management page went from 7 employees to two. Board of directors went from 10 to whatever is even left.... interesting things happening....

Are we going to talk about how most of the design team and the entirety of the Colorguard caption educators have resigned from Crossmen? A couple of board members and full time staff as well.....

Hearing from a reliable source cadets have some news to come soon.... April 1 deadlines. Wonder if they’re making it....
