I guess you don't have any proof, no shock there. The Marine Corps is a financial corporate sponsor of Music for All. My guess is there is a similar arrangement with DCI but I do not know this for a fact. I do know for a fact they financially contribute to MFA.

Perhaps the words sponsorship and endorsement have been intermingled? perhaps not? (to use Guardling "logic.") Via Annapolis and USBands, Marine Corps sponsorship sometimes means that they make the phonecall authorizing stadium gates to be opened for other marching units to use the field. Were Marine Corps also at Michigan City this year or another drum corps show? Not Michigan City. (Wouldn't have been room for them there anyways. Yikes it's crowded.)

Thanks, it is a mute point they have a relationship, it's a healthy one. Somehow they were left off the schedule just pointing out the devil is in the details. Leading up to a bigger picture, perception is a reality, dci can pay more attention in a lot of areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying you are wrong. I am saying in similar crisis management situations (not drum corps), unless DCI has some legal culpability, the strategy is to get out ahead of the story so as not to be seen as reactive (ala Pio) or being interpreted as "the organization has something to hide." Yes, but then you constantly compare DCI to dissimilar situations. So far, DCI has been a third party to all these crises. The offenders have all been corps staff. The primary responsibility - or just the ability - to suspend/investigate/fire them belongs to their respective employers, the corps. Along with that, of course, the employer will most likely be informed of the accusation before a third party like DCI. Obviously, third parties cannot "get ahead of the story" as well as those directly involved. If/when a DCI employee is ever accused of similar wrongdoings, then maybe you can compare apples to apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be able to tell facts from fiction, in this case, you overreacted and was wrong. No big deal now put your enthusiasm to help fix things that are broke.
