Official 2016 Staff Changes


Recommended Posts

We currently have two "Staff Changes" threads running. Any way the mods can combine them?

Anyway, someone mentioned over in the other thread that Derek Gipson (Bluecoats Brass Caption Head) is moving to the UK and may be leaving the corps staff. If this is at all true, that would be a big loss for an organization that could win its first title soon. He's done a great job establishing (maintaining?) the hornline's "signature sound" since Wozniak left for SCV.

NOTE: I cannot confirm whether Gipson is leaving, nor can I confirm the fact that he is even moving.

I think this thread was for confirmed staff changes. The other thread is more speculative.

That was indeed the intention.

I urge all of you to be careful with this kind of discussion. If you do know of something for FACT, then site the source and the change. Otherwise, I think it's a mistake to say things like "I think so and so is leaving," or "corps X is cleaning house," or "I hear so and so, from such and such, is leaving because of something my uncle's nephew's best friend told him while at a bar.

These are real jobs, and in some cases you could damage a reputation. Just a word of caution. I'm not judging.

Unless this discussion thread is officially sanctioned by DCP and its officials, I'm not so sure calling it "official" is the correct term to use. Consider replacing "official with "confirmed."

Can't change it now. I think you're being a bit pedantic, just my opinion.

I don't understand why. I thought they were doing pretty well the last couple years (granted, I don't know if the current staff was there prior to this year).

Most of the vis staff has been there since 2013. Have seen posts from staff members about leaving the corps.

What about a friend source at a bar or some such at a Stadium. ? Can we use that unnamed, anonymous source for citing what we heard, and have that work on here ok ?

Hahaha...if we held this forum to common journalistic principles there wouldn't *be* a forum. But irony is a wonderful tool in lieu of.... ;0)
