Tom Brace Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 So, Memphis Sound wins Div. III last year, Andre Feagin is named Div. III Director of the Year and now...it seems like almost every staff position, including his is out for hire. To me, this doesn't make sense....you all won Div. III last year. Wouldn't the staff try to make those good things happen again? Or, were they already destined to move other places before last season ended? No word yet on a new corps director either. It's getting late for that announcement with their audition camp only 18 days away. Any vets coming back? Going other places? What's happening with Memphis Sound?

Guest Myusik4Jakassez Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I heard Andre moved to California, so he's working with SCV now. I don't know how accurate that is, but it makes sense. I don't know anything about the other positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how accurate that is, but it makes sense.I don't know anything about the other positions. Nor should you. Young man, judging by your signature, you're approximately 16 years old. I'm not sure how appropriate it is for a 16-year-old corps member to be commenting on the personnel affairs of other corps or "what they've heard" about their staff members in this manner. Perhaps that's something that you and your present corps director may want to discuss and consider before posting in a public forum such as this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds this to be highly inappropriate. "Children should be seen and not heard... unless, of course, they're performing on a football field."

Actually, I had no issue with it. Corps members talk. He brought forth the information he had heard at some point. That's DCP. So not really sure what would have brought about a scolding, but, I see no wrong in it. Anyway, any word from Memphis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raiders allow our kids to post on dcp because I believe in free speech.It is a good tool for them to make & keep friends. It helps them learn about our activity through what they and other experience across the country. We do have a posting policy and I monitor what the Raider members post. Ask any of them, if something is out of line with our guidelines they are asked to edit the post immediately. We do not have many issues. I do not think he commented on personal affairs of the corps. He didnt say they parted ways for a negative reason. All he said was he heard Andre moved to Cali and is working with SCV. If that is true Andre would be listed on the SCV web page. Please end the conversation here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsvalues Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) "Grumpy Old Man, Party of One... your Table is ready" Perhaps that is true. Perhaps I am a grumpy old man. It just strikes me as odd that a 16-year-old is commenting on "what he heard" about the personnel affairs of another organization. After years of observing this and other forums, I've come to notice that the corps who do the best are generally those who say the least (about things outside of the walls of their organization), either officially on their web sites or through the "free speech" of their members. While it may be considered to be admirable that the director protects his members and encourages their freedom to post here, it's also out of line, imho, for a child to be commenting on matters such as this. Regardless of division, I don't notice many members of top organizations making comments like this. Perhaps there is some sort of correlation there. *edited for clarity Edited November 12, 2007 by corpsvalues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great example of why America is the greatest country in the world. Freedom of opinion and the freedom to express that opinion. Hope to meet you in person this summer Corpsvalues!

Well, if "what they've heard" came from a press release which is already public knowledge, repeated here merely for the benefit of anyone who missed it previously, then I see no harm/no foul.
