After cleaning up personal attacks and general blanket statements about color guard members...
And before I get a flood of PM’s, posts were cleaned up on both sides.

Unless there is confirmed reporting of things, rumors will be hidden

I may be mistaken, but as far as this particular video, I think that was from a Racine Raiders (adult minor league football) game that was held at Horlick Field and not at a specific high school in Racine (although I don't know offhand if that facility is owned by the city of Racine or the local school district). During my time in that corps, we typically performed at halftime for one of those games each year.
Again, I may be mistaken- the video's buried a number of pages back and hard to find immediately. If someone can point me to a page, I can review and confirm.
As a teacher in district:
It is owned by the district

Ok, so you're saying that, because Kilties performed in a DCI show, Dan A was expected to ask the Kilties if they still have Larson on their performance roles and, if hearing "yes" he should have prevented the Kilties from performing in that show, right?
I 100% agree with that and find it reprehensible that Kilites were allowed to perform in a DCI show with Larson in their roles.
Now, Spatzzz has evidence that all I want is evidence and not hearsay.
Upon hearing of it, being that the show was at a high school stadium, Dan A or the show coordinator should have told Kilts to leave him home that night or not perform. Really simple since Larson had restrictions against being on school property.

Go to 2013. Scroll down to the Madison show.
Kilts were there. I know because I reviewed the show

Unless you have irrefutable proof, any mention of names is considered rumor.

Keep waiting, Mr. Snarky. It doesn't say "...put on probation...", either.
Nice try, but that's a fail.
The article says corps are not DISCIPLINED for matters relating to participant safety. That's false.
It was true as of this year. Before then, only real suspensions were for finances (Troopers).

It's a sad commentary on society today that the mere mention of patriotism is seen as a political statement. Which reminds me, to all fellow veterans out there, on this 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War, happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service. Or is that too political?
Really?
An earlier post was removed due to a blatant political attack on adjudicators. My post was a reminder on the prohibition of that discussion.

I suggested this a few years ago for Phantom. Great piece filled with plenty of moments made for drum corps, but as a whole show it might be a bit slow-moving (considering that it is, after all, a requiem mass and not a symphony or concerto).
Could probably just use the first 4 movements and use the Sanctus as the closer (would need to take the tempo up a couple clicks on it).

How about a show titled "Zombie" that explores how humanity is turning ourselves into mental and emotional zombies with our wars, technology and drugs (prescription or otherwise).
I for one would love to hear a good, powerful arrangement of The Cranberries' "Zombie" as a ballade.
I'd also like to see an impact set in the shape of a pill, skull & crossbones, and a phone, computer or some other electronic device.
Color scheme in black, white and either pink or red.
Well, Madison should still have that Jolly Roger from 1997...

I have some thoughts about who I'd like to see take over.
I'll sit on the board, only. :P

My guess would be that it's not just finding a board that's the issue, it's fixing the other problems that would currently still affect the corps if they were to tour in 2019, including hiring an entirely new medical staff (to replace the nonexistent previous staff) and getting functional tour buses. The money for that needs to come from somewhere, and I don't know if Pio has significant extra resources at the moment.
Also (unrelatedly), if they come back in 2020 would it be as an Open Class corps?
Troopers were able to skip going back down to Open after their year off due to financial restructuring. I think a lot will depend upon how they go about getting their ducks in a row.

I would suspect that DCI has learned during its investigation, which started this summer, that Pioneer Has some limitations or issues with resources that would not allow it to operate a complete season in a manner that is being required. Regardless of who is on the board.
This would be my first guess. Between the buses, cost of administrative personnel, and medical staff, they likely would need to have more revenue generated than what they showed the last few years.

Although it abuts the airport, it’s not convenient to the airport if that makes sense.
It would take almost 15 minutes to get to the passenger terminal. It's close to the 128th Air Refueling Wing and that's about it.

Minimum floor time requirement for MM’s between shows.
At least one trained medical professional on staff on tour.

I wonder that how many kids started their marching careers' at Pioneer over the last few seasons and vowed never to march again based on their experience?
Or just went elsewhere

When I marched in 2001, we pushed those buses uphill both ways in the snow! Built character, it did.
But seriously, get real buses.
I don’t see them loaning those rolling wrecks out this fall to Waukesha...
