NakedEye Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 As expected. Soooo, does this change plans for the winter guard they had already announced, with a different staff? I believe he did Crown's full corps movement this year, so will he be another cross-pollinator, with roles on several staffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquesb Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 http://www.madisonscouts.org/Madison_Scouts/Home.html That's so cool... I marched with him! He's immensely talented and I'm sure will be a great addition to Madison's staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) More exciting news. I beleive this will definitely help recruiting/retention in the Guard department! By the way, John (Naked Eye) great artwork! Anyone who can produce such excellent work with watercolor like you do has my respect!

BigBadMadMan Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey Oldtimedrummer...they announced guard caption! Whaddaya know?! I tease. _____________________ Awesome stuff! Go get it, guard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebot Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Just curious - so I know they've brought in a whole bunch of big names for designers. . . are they planning on keeping some of the instructional staff around, or is it going to be completely new? I just ask because it seems like having a totally revamped staff might have an impact on vet retention for the 2010 season. . . members do have a loyalty to their staff, and it seems like this might cause some resentment. But that's a very trivial, short-term issue. These announcements obviously mean great things for Madison in the coming years. . . they're certainly taking the rest steps towards becoming a force to be reckoned with in DCI again. . . and even if this did effect vet retention for 2010, it's obviously a huge positive in the long run.

NR_Ohiobando Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) He seems to have a nice track record! Another great pickup! I just hope the Scouts can deal with the high-quality demand the staff will be throwing at them.

I really liked Nick Williams, I wouldn't mind if they kept him around. So far it seems like they're cleaning house... The brass staff in general seemed really good; lots of Madison alumni helping out like Taco and Schipper. The scores seem to reflect them being the best out the corps, so it wouldn't be all that bad keeping them around IMO. We'll see soon enough.

Michael Boo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Jim Moore was responsible for so much of the visual program for Blast and Shockwave/Cyberjam. He is supremely talented and this just keeps adding jewels to the amazing staff Madison is building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The next thing you know it...TODD RYAN will return back home with the Scouts...now that and Percussion announcement would be the all to end all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 It's great to see Moore, Vanderkolff and Medworth as the visual heads. The corps has struggled with their visual identity (even the "Madison Look") for a while. I also agree with a previous poster's statement on Nick Williams. He's a heck of an instructor and should be involved in the upper levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
