OC has their own whistleblower submission available online. Reports were submitted online anonymously and just a few hours later, after a show, the director told the media team to stop recording and he announced that people used the online whistleblower form and proceeded to berate all the members for not coming directly to him. Needless to say members were even more scared to rasie any concerns about anything after that incident. Suffice it to say, alot of future music educators in the group learned lessons of what not to do as a music educator. Apologies for going down this rabbit hole on this thread!

There is a lot of context being left out of this summary, just saying

Yikes. I remember back in April when the individual corps sent out responses to the GH scandal, Oregon had among the best-written of those. I thought to myself, "So long as the administrators who penned that response is still there, OC will continue to thrive."

And now, a couple of weeks removed from the 2018 season, this happens. On top of all the Pio news, I am shocked and saddened. We may be down to 22 corps in World Class if things don't get resolved soon.

It helps that their marketing manager wrote most of that statement, not the ED or President. Too bad they are probably going to lose her too after all of this

[Looking for truck drivers and full-time cooks]

Hey all OC has been looking for Class A CDL drivers and cook staff to join the summer, and have been reaching out all over to share this opportunity. I'd thought I'd share here in case someone here fits the roles or knows someone who does.

Sorry if this should have been done differently, I wasn't 100% sure how to share this.

Missing in action so far: DCA. It's a much smaller organization than DCI, with, I believe, just one full-time staffperson (office manager?), but you'd think by now they'd have said something about the "all age" corps (whose membership has been largely under 21) that won their circuit just two years ago (and was third last year and second three years ago).

Agreed, especially with YEA connected to them as well.

Can we start a thread with all of this information? I've seen a few corps releasing public statements such as Cascades, OC, and Blue Knights.
