Agreed, but the article also mentioned that no women spoke with the board. That makes me wonder if they were approached, if they didn't trust the board, or something else. Whatever happens, this is a pretty critical time for DCI. The corps and high school band world is so very intertwined, this has to be handled properly or there will be long-term repercussions. For just one example, it's already hard enough to find housing for all corps at all shows. Having something like this hanging over the activity will only make it that much harder, especially if it's not handled well.

I realize that nothing has been proven and we should all wait for that, but I also know several people in the organization (past and present) and this has been something hinted at for years.The people I know (mainly guard members from the past who marched in the 80s) know some of the women involved and 100% believe them.

Came here for the first time in a long time, was similarly surprised that you had just posted this. As I mentioned elsewhere, I doubt that this is a problem limited to the Cadets, and I hope that our entire activity does some deep soul searching on this matter. I hope that every incidence is completely and fairly investigated, and any proven offenders are punished severely, including lifetime bans from the activity. Anything less than that could mean the end of our activity.

Best Back -to-Back Ballads?

Much truth here. -
Yup. As soon as I saw this post, I ordered Essentials 3. Too many great shows on that one to not own it.

Jersey Surf and competitive success
OrlandoContraAlum replied to corpsband's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I assure you that they are just as competitive as other corps, they simply are hindered by their decision to keep the corps accessible, therefore sacrificing early season rehearsals. As far as making the cut for Friday, this is the first time since they moved to World Class that they haven't done so, so I am not sure where that came from. I guarantee those kids are heartbroken (or at least were last night, I just saw a video of the run they did today and it seemed like they were just fine) but they will move on. -

Heh. :) Good point about documenting it as well. I am sure that BD (or OC) won't make that mistake again. -

Official DCI Prelims Thread 2015
OrlandoContraAlum replied to Cadevilina Crown's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
While this makes sense at face value, why was there a video turned in, and to whom? I would assume that if there were roving DCI folk that they could enforce such a violation without need of video. (I realize I am making assumptions, just curious is all). -

Ah! I learned something today, so thank you. I will rephrase: "Which raises the question... who turned them in?" -

Theater versus Home Viewing Thursday
OrlandoContraAlum replied to MPutnam's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
True, but the live stream before the theater being free has also been standard practice for several years now. It's a new year and new service, so it's possible that things have changed. -
