jkmummer Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) So Gino isn't going back to Bucs? Didn't think he would. The news here is Rich Hammond is the Program Coordinator. Also how does this corps get taught when all these people will be spending their summers with C1 Edited September 13, 2011 by jkmummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how does this corps get taught when all these people will be spending there summers with C1 The biggest part of that announcement was indeed Rich Hammond. Rich, more than anyone else in the whole YEA organization, understands DCA. He's the master of running effective and efficient ensemble rehearsals in a DCA environment, and will bring that to C2.

3rd&10 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Geez, Cadets Part Dos, it's only been 9 days since DCA championships. Whats the rush? Why not give the Buccaneers time to state their own announcement about the departure of The Program Coordinator and Brass Caption Head? Or maybe they are working with both corps.....I won't believe it until I read it on the Reading Buccaneers website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would venture to guess they are ready to get on with the 2012 season rather than waiting till November to figure out who is who and what is what.

Bucs will announce their staff when they have it assembled, and when they are good and ready. That may be today, it may be November. C2 doesn't need to wait for anyone to make their own announcements. Besides, Bucs have never been in the habit of announcing departures, only the staff for the upcoming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshKegley Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I personally believe that with Cadets coming off a Championship year, we might see a good amount of their age-outs in their DCA corps. They have the potential to come out year one and win in my opinion if they can get a full corps of Cadets alumni within the 18-25 range. Good luck to them! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
