dooser11 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I am sure the Philadelphia reporter would jump on this story especially with Pioneer in their back yard this coming week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Tuma Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 So far my comments have been limited to Pioneer’s current BoD and the lack of accountability. The reddit thread concerns past seasons, correct? Am I missing something from the current season other than the mm with the medical issue?

Probably take too long to verify before corps is here and gone. Plus Cadets are basically in Phillys backyard. Midwest stories would be meh...

How many of these mm will even consider marching with Pioneer next year? After the word gets around not only in the DCI community, but the various band organizations, it might be the final nail in Pioneer's coffin. And that doesn't make me very happy with that possibility. Edited July 30, 2018 by Ghost 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain aspects the corps provides that would make it very worthwhile under a proper leadership and guidance structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All well and good, but they might still end up with a very small corps that is not very talented. Dropping down to OC might be a better option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
