This one needs more context. DCI is an intense activity and sometimes a younger person needs the proverbial swift kick to find motivation. Definitely not saying that is the case here but have seen things like this before.
I don't know this particular marcher, but I was aware of the concussion issues and the pseudo-family culture of Shadow DBC.

"The article states that Oregon High School checked the credentials of the man who has been fired." I didn't read this anywhere. What I read was "Mr. Henzie Skogen is not and has not ever been employed by Oregon School District, so we would not be the organization to conduct an investigation".
All volunteers had to undergo background checks by the school district. I had presumed it was the same for staff.

Shadow closes down for good
in DCI Open Class Corps Discussions
Posted
Dear Shadow Friends and Family,
Shadow Drum and Bugle Corps was founded and built on a tradition of excellence and education that
stretches back to 1972. For 50 years, the Oregon High School Summer Marching Band took the field
each summer, competing in every season since MACBDA's inception. In 2007, a winter guard and indoor
percussion ensemble followed, with both winter ensembles distinguishing themselves with excellence in
the sport. In 2008, the summer marching band became Shadow Armada. In 2016, our flagship program
became Shadow Drum and Bugle Corps and was accepted into the vaunted ranks of Marching Music's
Major League, Drum Corps International, having the unique distinction of being the only high school in
the world with its own professional-level marching ensemble as the only high school in the United States
to have a drum corps program. In 2019 Shadow Drum and Bugle Corps separated itself from the Oregon
School District and became its own entity, continuing the successes of the history of the program. The
corps was not active during 2020 due to the DCI season cancellation during the pandemic, hosted a
virtual season in 2021, and took a pause in 2022 to reevaluate continuation.
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the board of directors for Shadow Marching Arts has made
the difficult decision to end all operations in perpetuity. Over the next few months, the board will work
to end its nonprofit status, liquidate its assets, and close its books.
We take joy in knowing that the many videos and pictures from the past will keep the legacy of what
Shadow was going, where the memories will keep Shadow alive to those that answered the question
“Band who are you?”
We thank you all for your support and encouragement.
All the best,
Ken McGlauchlen
Board President
Shadow Marching Arts

Not surprising to me at all.
