NakedEye Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Wow. Good move. They are the sort of people who can help them redefine and recapture their currently fuzzy performance identity. But wait, won't this setup an epic battle between Blue Stars, Crown and Scouts for who is REALLY the new Star? lol There can be only one, you know.

patblamo Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Oooh, and Donnie VanDoren, too. I can't wait to see what they've got up their sleeves...Mike I wonder if VanDoren is consulting with three corps now or if he is moving away from Blue Stars or Crown?

Michael Boo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Phenomenal move for an organization that deserves everything positive that can happen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpssaavy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I wonder if VanDoren is consulting with three corps now or if he is moving away from Blue Stars or Crown? I would imagine that the Madison Scouts will now be his primary focus. I wonder how much of the old Star of Indiana team will be joining as well? Will they still operate out of Madison, or will they operate out of Bloomington? Where will camps and everydays be held? My guess is Bloomington.

byline Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'd heard this rumor shortly after finals, and hoped it was true. Fantastic news for the Scouts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vferrera Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I think THAT'S the POW we were waiting for all last season. More like a KA-BOOM. An earth-shattering KA-BOOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersop Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Mr. Mason, Thanks for injecting some tradition, excellence and happiness into Madison Nation. Although nothing has been accomplished yet, I think it's safe to say that the entire drum corps community, Alumni and diehard Scouts fans are pulling for you to do great things. We all look forward to more staff announcements and look forward to the 2010 offering. I do hope you can find the likes of the HOF staff you brought together at Star of Indiana. There is plenty of talent out there for teaching, but I hope you call in all markers on this endeavor. Madison has lost some great staff over the past decade and I'm hoping you'll make an effort to bring some of them back. That said, I know how very difficult it is to get the staff on board and have them work as a cohesive team with one vision in mind. I think we all understand you'll always be strong enough to project that vision and pour it all into the organization and the product they present. Lastly, The Men from Madison had a comic book show this past season with the likes of Relampago. You did a circus show with Star in 1987. I pray for an immediate 180 turn and head in a totally different direction. Please, NO PINK ELEPHANTS!!! I wish you, your staff and the membership the greatest of success .... and may you all live up to the expectations that come with these wonderous announcements. Thanking you deeply for your return.
