I swear I closed my eyes and I was transported back to 2003.
Well done Phantom. Well done.

They need to create a show and to reduce the amount of time it takes to create that show. Every single dollar spent right now is more accountable than before. This is about survival facing incredible odds.
They now have a brass arranger who wrote the show in question. His track record speaks for itself. He knows exactly what was put into those arrangements and can tweak them for 2021. I would be content even if they were the same.
The brass arranger is now with a very accomplished group of caption heads/instructors.
2020 was supposed to be Phantom's rebirth year. Let 2021 be the year they continue that trajectory.
This 100%. It makes perfect sense for Phantom to go this route, especially with money being tight.
It's a very smart move, and, Phantom will absolutely be able to pull it off.
I can't wait to see this show. Can't. Wait.

And so it begins. I have created a public list on YouTube that will include all source music. This is a public list under the name "Drum Corps 2021" for all to use. I will do the same on Rhapsody/Napster.
Could you potentially either post a link here or send it to me in a PM?
Thanks in advance!

Nevermind that I'm so completely stoked for this show. I WILL find a way to see it live, and bring my kids too.

that was ####### excellent. bravo DCI
I just read it myself. Hearing both Jade and hitting up 1989 Phantom reminds me how much I miss that sound.
Rest easy, Mr. Boo. The world was better because you were in it, and we have an immeasurable hole to fill now that you're gone.

I'll go out on a limb here and say DCI cancelling the 2020 tour will prod DCA into a decision.

No! The comments on the article. I’m sorry. There are seven horrible comments, one referring to us as twisted band nerds or something like that.
Holy crap I just read those, almost all are inappropriate. I'm semi tempted to sign up for an account to flag them.

I'm not a lawyer, but it looks like their net assets are around 400k with 500k of that being equipment.
Holy crap, GH took a $176k salary from YEA! in 2016????? At least that's what the 990 says.

It's easy to sit back in the shadows and make a statement like that, but I'm willing to bet if it were YOUR corps, or if it were 19 year old YOU in this position, you wouldn't want that to happen.
I don't think anyone here WANTS that to happen. We're all aware of the effects that will have on everyone involved. That said, if DCI decrees it, it will happen, fair or not.

Great news, Cadets have regained control of their FB page. 2018 brass playing OHN posted!

Maybe I'm missing it, but what had happened to it, or was it still in that man's control?

Except for the most recent allegation that says Sean knew?
Mike
I don't think he knew the actual extent of the issue. I think he interpreted the comment in a way that wasn't ideal, but instead blew it off to GH being GH. I fully believe him when he says if he knew the extent he would have reacted different.
He's in a lose-lose situation here. From what I've heard and read Sean is a good guy. This has to absolutely suck for him. And now he's marked, even if he's 100% innocent, as having dirty hands in this whole mess.
The fallout from this will last for years to come, and may touch lots more people than any of us realize.
I so want GH in jail right about now. The lives he's potentially ruined demand it.

If Sean King is made collertal damage because of GH actions then I have a right to my own. Believe me I know a lot of the donors and they are not happy right now. They all have the upmost respect for Sean and this would be a very big mistake on the organization to not right this wrong to him and his family.
Sorry, Mr. King doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. Not now. He must wait out the investigative process.
Fair? Probably not. But direct your anger at Mr. Hopkins and not the BoD.
And, if Mr. King DID act inappropriately, he must accept the punishment. That's just the way it is. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't make it not necessary.

Just now, BigW said:WAY overblown then!
While I was not a lead sop player, I recently had to have a chest x-ray redone because the tech said my lungs were "too big."
I thank John Arietano and Mike Longdo for that one.-

and rip his pants during the on field warmup
Stay on topic please.
My only saving grace THAT day was I was wearing the same color underwear as the uniform pants, otherwise it could have been additional GE points.

In Pennsylvania, maybe. (note emphasis) I'll ask someone who has gone through the whole recent certification with the updated laws in place about this. If the knowledge involved minors, I believe even in my time, reporting definite knowledge, not rumors/innuendo was required.
PA's background checks are brutal, as are their reporting requirements.
For example, as a volunteer firefighter, since I *might* come into contact with minor children I had to get the child abuse check plus go through the classes on reporting it. That's in addition to a PA State Police background check and an FBI background check. No fun at all. The only check I've been through that's been more thorough was my government background check for my security clearance. I would think YEAs staff would have to meet these same requirements.

the mods arent always here 24/7 like you think. they have real jobs and real lives, and in a thread like this, with so many frequently moving parts, the report button is usually the only way to get a specific post.
personally I would have just said "hey Meyer you jeans ironing pants ripping llama boy, chill the #### out".
but then again i know him
I say this with all the love and respect I can possibly muster.
#### you Ream!

Well that kinda proves that when she went to her before he took her seriously. Maybe she said it in passing or in a way that Sean didn't know the serious of her concerns. If she also wasn't afraid to tell Sean and so called jeopardize her job as she has claimed. They why didn't she go to the police when she says he raped her? This all has questions that need to be investigated. Sean denies that she told him and based on the other actions he took and his great character I believe him.
If that's the case, then it will be proven in the investigation. You can choose to believe him, however, the BoD no longer has that luxury to trust his reputation. GH and the BoD ruined that for everyone involved.
if you want to rail against anyone, it should be them. The current BoD will perform their due diligence.

It has already been done! To follow up with the victim and see if she recalls when Sean took her seriously when he fired the other harassing employee. They should follow up because a good man's life is being ruined.
If he's telling the truth, then the BoD investigation will bear that out and he'll be exonerated. Unfortunately, YEA! doesn't have the luxury of the benefit of the doubt any longer. GH and the former board ruined that. So, the allegations have to be taken seriously, and the BoD has to be seen as being proactive.
You can rail about it all you want. If the BoD DOESN'T do this, then DCI has the ability to shut The Cadets down for the year based on their probationary status. None of us want to see that.

Suspend until investigation is complete is usual practice in a lot of places so really no surprise
Of course it is, unless you're former board of YEA!
