bill Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 1) it could be to avoid the hole in the drill 2) it could be a staff mindset of "grit my teeth and bear it for the rest of tour but this kid is done afterwards" 3) it could be a staff mindset of "lets give this kid every single opportunity to improve attitude: everyone has bad days in tour perhaps this member will shape up before it's all said and done" 4) it could even be the member was OK on tour (not 100% awful, not 100% model member) but came back to camp with an awful attitude and/or skill deficiency 5) it could be that the member was OK on tour (see above), and an influx in auditioning rookies made the 'OK' vet obsolete: if there are a lot of better options why stick with the lesser option if you don't have to? Like a lot of issues, there isn't necessarily a black and white solution, or sometimes a great staff evaluates a problem, formulates many different 'solutions' and picks the lesser of the evils .....and it could be the dude or dudette didn't pony up their dough in a timely fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Bill, True as your comment is the reality opens another can of worms (i.e., discussion.) Some corps discount dues/tour fees per years of consecutive membership in the corps or if the position in the corps requires extra responsibility (dm/conductor, section leader, player/coach.)

WWonka Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 .....and it could be the dude or dudette didn't pony up their dough in a timely fashion Bingo. I've seen people carried so you don't have a hole mid season knowing they would never bring said person back because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seen-it-all Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'd rather stick to using paragraph breaks, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'd rather stick to using paragraph breaks, but that's just me. I don't twitter. But maybe I should because of my inability to comprehend two paragraphs even when they aren't paragraphs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 A paragraph, by any other name, is still a...paragraph?????? Over my head like so much else on here. I don't understand and therefore I don't think I'm worthy. I'll just sit in my corner and hope that I see two paragraphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 140 characters would constitute a play or musical far longer than I'd care to sit through. But a drum corps has 150 characters, believe me. And DCP evidently just as many. Now back to the OP's question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
