Per the complaint: the Cadets' transportation director was injured after he fell from a ladder while climbing down from the top of a vehicle which he had been instructed to paint. This was at Ohio Northern; the date was June 14. Another Cadets' staff member drove him to the hospital in Lima. He had surgery the next day to set his broken bones and put steel rods and plates in his legs. He still undergoes physical therapy. He says that once they left him at the hospital, he never heard from Cadets again: they abandoned him in Lima to find his own way home (in Colorado).
He's suing on six counts of $75,000 each plus attorneys' fees, court costs, etc. (Lawyers: is that right? Each of the counts is separate, so the total is $450,000?)
How much will YEA settle for?
No, the $75,000 is the threshold of damages in order for you to file a complaint in federal court. So, he's saying his damages are over $75,000. The number of counts of the complaint don't have anything to do with that monetary figure.

That’s great! The show was so fun!
It was a blast! He still has two more years of indoor (ages out of BAC this year), but he said that if his indoor career had to end now, he was satisfied. The show was the most fun he has ever performed. He sobbed walking off the floor at finals.

Yep. He was center quad.

I can’t wait to see Boston. This is my first in person viewing. Those spats make them look 7 ft. tall. Very impressive.
Mine, too, since Orlando was a wash-out. My 6'1" kid is actually short this show -- he was 9'1" for his indoor show this year! :)

I kind of chuckled today looking at the flomarching schedule. We’ll fly home Sunday morning and will be parked in front of tv Sunday night watching Nightbeat. We’re crazy. 😂
Same, but I have to drive home from Atlanta.

Correction: It is a tenor player (minus his tenors) on stilts for Boston. He marched Infinity World Percussion last winter when their tenor line played on stilts.
This is not correct. My son and another tenor player are Infinity members marching in the BAC tenor line this summer. If you were at the BAC April camp performance, my son was on the stilts there. However, neither he nor the other tenor are on stilts for Goliath. Goliath IS an Infinity member -- the one who juggled the cymbals in Infinity's show.

What I found annoying was the stupid commentators who wouldn't shut up when the corps started.

BTW, anyone know what happened to the 4th quad? I hope he is okay....?
Injured his foot this week. He'll be fine.

Is the concert going to be on Facebook live?
It's supposed to be. I've got my laptop wired up to my TV in anticipation!

Begun, the food truck wars have.
In my opinion, the Blue Knights already won that war. Their kitchen truck is FANTASTIC. I volunteered on the BAC truck last summer, and will again this summer, so I'm happy about the new truck. BUT, I got to tour the BK truck last summer. The BK truck has a slide-out portion that turns the truck into a good-sized kitchen -- not just the aisle down the middle like the new BAC truck.

Excellent. They looked to be having a blast on those stilts at retreat too.
They were. My son is the leader, so he was the one in front who led them to retreat, and was then joined by a second tenor. They will both be with BAC this summer -- my son as his second and age-out year, and his friend as a rook-out.

Holy crap, Infinity. This show is pure fun.
Circus theme with endless moments. When the tenors came out on those 8 foot stilts and did a marching forward feature I thought I'd lost my mind. Bass feature was super fun too, got the place clapping as they did their flip the basses and play across the heads thing.
My son was one of those tenors. :)

Our friend gets our Indy tickets but we purchased the St. Louis regional tickets. Guess you, me, and @Jurassic Lancer didn’t make the cut. 😀
I've purchased Atlanta regional tickets for six years, but this is the first year I've purchased Indy tickets and the first year I've received a survey.

No LOS this year? Jk. Are they changing housing or just rehearsal sites?
Just rehearsal sites. They're housing at the Red Roof Inn all week.

Congratulations in having your son march with Boston Crusaders and to your parents for getting to see the amazing spectacle of their first DC show. That is great!
Your family must be so proud to see him march in one of the elite corps and one of the best shows of 2018. The corps is Wicked Awsome, as they say in Boston, as they take yet another step closer to the ultimate goal of winning DCI. I hope he gets to be a part of that corps. Wouldn't that be something?
Enjoy!
Thank you. They are excited. My sister and her husband went to see him when they were practicing in Ada right before the tour premiere, and they are going to finals in Indy this week. So nice that some of the Ohio relatives get to see him. As for being in the corps when they make that ultimate goal -- it will have to be next year, as he ages out. :)

My parents are there for their first drum corps show - to see their grandson marching with BAC. :) They're apparently tracking him down in the lot at the moment.

You're welcome, but I'd still pack ear plugs and eye shades just in case.
Done.

I think in 15, some of the kitchen staff had the back section so they could get up early and exit a back door without bothering those up front. Tell them you have a bad back so you can get a bottom bunk. If the AC is on overnight, it might be noisy up by the ceiling and colder.
Thank you for the tips!!

So they're back using them again. First had one in 15 and there was talk about how the manufacturer was working on a design to have around 48 or so beds. I thought the corps had stopped using them. You mentioned that they have buses, so are they up to two now?
I really have no idea. This is my first gig. I was just told that I would have a bunk. I'll get the details tomorrow when I report for duty! :D
