HockeyDad is facing reality. Optimism or not, that’s not the point. The point is the organization is failing from a competitive standpoint. Not a failure, a complete DISASTER. CK and DP should have been axed after the 2018 season if not the 2016. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing and that is evident by the last four seasons being a complete shot in the dark. 2016 old school, 2017 ultra modern loss of identity, 2018 a complete mess, and 2019 old school outdated. They were completely overshadowed by everyone else on almost every single level on Flo last night. I did quite like their music, and think it’s an improvement over the past two seasons, but I knew going backwards in design was going to be a big problem.

The BOD needs to resign. All of them. For allowing this disaster to build and continue.

If middle of the pack performance is considered a "DISASTER" then I would hate to hear what you have to say about consistently bottom-12 corps. A couple of off years don't mean the corps is doomed. If it were then there's no way we would be marching a full roster.

As a member I can say the constant negativity online is a major source of frustration to vets and rookies alike. The show this year is a ton of fun and positivity and support from fans/alumni is a million times more of a motivator than "I hope we don't suck like last year."

Are you okay with a 16th place finish possibly two years in a row, and missing finals 3 of the last 4 years?  The bleed off of talent?  The generally accepted idea that Madison is not a destination corps, rather a one season stop prior to getting into the corps you really want? 

Your optimism is an inspiration to us all.

Sounds to me like he's shaming the admin, not the members. 

 

I suppose that does seem to be the case. The wording he used seemed to imply he thought the show was a disaster, not just the uniforms. Came across as kind of hurtful.

And they are, of course, A ####### disaster. Good Grief, someone save this corps from this administration. 

You know members of the corps read this forum, right?

Any word on uniforms?

We didn't wear our official uniforms yesterday. We'll be wearing those at the Middleton show tomorrow.
