It wouldn't be the same without them.

dbriggs Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 other than "the Statesmen are not going anywhere", how does that kill the rumor? announcement talks of preparing for the coming year. saw the rumor for myself in this thread http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/index.php/topic/154065-skyliners-crusaders-brigadiers-ect/ originally. seems it's since been redacted much like the renegades thread. but remnants of the conversation remain if you remember what was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Other than "the Statesmen are not going anywhere", how does that kill the rumor? The announcement talks of preparing for the coming year. Saw the rumor for myself in this thread originally. Seems it's since been redacted, much like the Renegades thread, but remnants of the conversation remain, if you remember what was there. I agree that it is possible to interpret the announcement on the Statesmen's website as "are not going anywhere [for one more year]", but their phrasing, particularly "Quite the contrary our future is brighter than Ever!!" does seem to be taken as a direct response to the rumor, mentioned by a couple people on these boards a few weeks ago, that the Statesmen leadership had told members that next year would be the last. A "brighter" "future" would generally not be understood to refer to just one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOReason Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Perhaps if we play Empire's DCA finals recording backwards there will be hidden clues... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
