littlejaw Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 I hope they get it worked out soon, from what I've heard, they're off to a really good start this year. I'd like to see them keep their momentum going. Turning some design reigns to David McGrath is an excellent choice in my opinion. What he has done at Kennesaw Mountain bodes well in my opinion.

They seem to be doing things well now. Can't wait to see the product this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel3 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 What is defined as propaganda depends on your point of perspective. Oh my god. You just stepped in a pile of political crap. Here's the definition of propaganda. PROPAGANDA information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. Martin Luther King was a Nobel Peace Prize winning advocate for justice, and he's known worldwide as a non-violent champion of civil rights. If you call Martin Luther King a propagandist, you're opening up a huge can of worms, suggesting that his message was biased and misleading. That's like saying Ghandi was a propagandist. My God, who's in charge over there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Any shareable news from this weekend? Has DCP become "Just" Cadet.Crown Corps Planet ( with BD and Bluecoats occasionally thrown in)? Honestly, they are the only ones throwing stuff out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Honestly, they are the only ones throwing stuff out there. Yea, I agree. Those two corps have a lot of supporters on here to keep the conversation moving along. I, however, like hearing news from all the corps. Things will be better very soon. I hope that the Cavaliers will give more information after their fundraiser, "Ensuring Our Future" on June 4th at Benedictine University in Lisle, IL. https://cavaliers.org/news/cavaliers-host-june-4-ensuring-our-future-benefit A couple of years ago, they put on an online stream, for supporters/alumni, which I paid for and very much enjoyed. Unfortunately, I'm too far away from Lisle, IL to make the above benefit gala event. Oh well, I feel that not streaming this is a missed opportunity, but I can understand that if they would do a stream the cat would be out of the bag, and they'd probably still get some critics. I'm sure they have their reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I donate, but I haven't heard anything about a live stream for this year yet. If I remember right, they never advertised it until a week or so before it, I didn't donate until the day of or so. They also revealed the uniforms and guard stuff in an email. We shall see I guess, I hope they do it again. Really enjoyed it the past two times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
