ggab704 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 A couple months after the 2009 season ended i recieved a call that the scouts would not be fielding cymbals for the 2009 season. Now to see them having them on the field i feel lied to by the corps i call my home. and it is the ultimate middle finger to me and my three other brothers.

vferrera Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) No im a cymbal enthusiast its my calling. I understand. Every corps should have a plate line. Otherwise, it's like a hot-dog without mustard. But being a scout means doing what the corps needs you to do, not what you want to do. If you didn't try out for a different spot, then it seems like being a cymbal was a higher priority than being a scout. What did you expect them to do? p.s. when I was in the corps, I rode to camp with a guy who was trying out for the tenor line. He was in the line until around April or so, then he was cut. They offered him a chance to plug a third soprano hole and he took it. Even learned to play the horn a bit by the end of the season.

ggab704 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 I don't have the talent to play anything else in the corps. Κψµβοσ as a Madison scout is who i am. This isnt a matter of "why didnt you try out for something else?" i wouldn't be saying any of this if i didnt feel disrespected and lied to. I was whole heartedly fine with the decision that was made to not go with a cymbal line...sure i was hurt but i still had faith in my corps.

ggab704 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 When i first got news i had no emotional reaction. I called someone i call my mentor and just talked to him. I was confused as anyone else i would talk to in the comming months. I still get comments from drum corps fans i meet praising scouts for the amazing line they had put together in 2009. People that would dare to say that it was the best cymbal line they had seen the entire season. They ask me if im doing in again only to see the confused look on their face as i tell them there is no longer a cymbal line. Their only reply, "why would they do that." I have no feeling of resent towards my brothers, the new staff or the people that support them, I only wish they would have found a way to not break such a profound relationship between four men and the rest of their brothers. To all of the brothers that came before me, the brothers I marched with, the brothers that i havnt met, the staff i love, and the entire 2010 that i respect with the honor of "our corps", May you never walk alone Gabriel Krueger Pistol line, 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
