  1. Oh wait we’re going to worry about the members? 😈 (Really kidding as I bring up the same point on other social media.) Ok we’re going to play something from before you were born. Can’t you just feel the history. 🥱🥱🥱
  2. Reminds me of Fiddler on the Roof but…. How many fans in the stands would know about SCVs history of Fiddler. IOW how far back does the fans memory go?
  3. All right I’ll post it here (ducks 🙄). Hope SCV is open with the members and potential members from here on out with what is going on behind the scenes. Today anyone interested can use google and social media to find (right or wrong) info on finances, safety, etc. Not like my day when only way I knew about red ink was from riding with two BoD members and listening. Members spend lot of money to join so deserve to hear from the horses mouth. Was member of a corps when they came back twice so interested how SCV handles this extra baggage
  4. Actually I concentrated on the text of the document and didn’t look at the heading (which had the companies name). 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Maybe it’s a good thing I’m retired and not in the working world
  5. Ok I screwed up, I read the doc but didn’t check who sent it. Thought it was from the state or county but now see it’s the auditors report…. 🤦‍♂️
  6. Might as well start new thread as this affects more than one corps. Wondering what happens if a corps signs deals with manufacturers (unis, equipment, transportation,etc) and corps drops out for the season. Are contracts usually written to handle the possibility? Or is it a giant legal crap show?
  7. Coupling this with previous info (please correct if wrong). SCV is an approved non-profit BUT the paperwork for the Bingo business is so FUBAR the state can’t figure out if it’s being run correctly. Hmmm, can CA shut down the Bingo if not resolved? edit: I screwed up and thought this was from the state. Now see it’s from the auditor. Big difference 🤦‍♂️
  8. lol, yeah off topic but in a nice way. With exception of SC were the other corps Vanguard or Vanguards? 🤔 Gets confusing looking at old scores. And kind of 😈 Long Island Sunrisers were called “Santa Flushing Vanguard” because of their music(little ahead of usual Sr music at the time) and look.
  9. And Des Plaines Vanguard had a Senior corps for a few years in the mid 1980s. Saw them at DCA prelims.
  10. And you’re sure the person didn’t ask “individuals from within the organization” how? To put it another way you’re saying the OP is lying about being asked to be with a corps. Wouldn't be the first time someone became a new member of DCP to ask questions
  11. Yeah never seen this with other threads or corps 😆😈
  12. I didn’t respond as not worth the “vacation”. But can’t stand it when someone asks a question and response is give them a bunch of crap for asking. Good way to turn people off from looking for information. As for people here not being informed 🙄. Some have long DC pedigrees
  13. Wonder what percentage of people only go to Championships week and don’t FLO. IOW percentage who wouldn’t know the show was changed. Or those who saw the “old” show don’t remember that it was different… or really give a rats hindquarter anyway. “Oh that’s different 🥱” How much does it really add to a show… or score 😈
  14. About 15 years ago I started a thread asking why people don’t go to another corps if they miss their dream corps. Lot of “for the amount of money, it’s my dream corps or not worth it”. Or “only have one season to march so why waste it” as have other options over the summer. Hmmm… some things haven’t changed
  15. Used to be think you could find a game every week night within a 15 mile radius of Harrisburg. Then a business started a big money place to drive out the smaller games. But… then PA started the no smoking laws which hurt all the games.
  16. Yep, society changed which lot of people can’t or won’t understand or accept.
  17. I don’t see the DC activity growing as only movement is in SoundSport and that hasn’t really helped DCIs “bread and butter “ (top corps). IMO board needs to concentrate on what is causing current corps not to field or go under (costs, finances, member safety, etc). As I was told long ago we’ve always had corps go under, the problem today is new corps are not coming up to replace to corps that leave
  18. Wonder how saturated the Bingo market is in that area. IOW you open up a second hall to run certain nights you might be competing with already established games. Double halls does not guarantee double the money
  19. Can’t even imagine what that looked like, especially in a larger stadium. Figure number of performers was probably close to half that number. i know different era but never did a show with that small a crowd. Including Bradford, RCA anthracite towns and Mechanicsburg at the town stadium.
  20. I’m wondering (have been for a while) where a corps insurance carrier says “here’s your new premium for the season…. There’s been an increase in the cost” 😳 Or…. “After looking it over, we’re not going to renew your policy “
  21. Is there anyone on the BoD who has a business or financial background? Weird how when someone who doesn’t have a DC or music background is named for a corps top spot people flip out. Cant have the music without the financial footing folks
  22. Yep repeating story of person I knew who pled guilty to take a suspended sentence. Was in a group and had to go to court every time one of the group appealed something. No idea if he did anything wrong but had a family and going broke on costs
  23. Or feel can get a better judgment with jury of peers instead of the judge. Wonder what is the history of judges rulings in cases like this in the district.
