phd-student-TTU Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 For those who say people are not reveling in seeing the cadets destroyed-just read this post by poppycock. This person and others are malicious people who are out to destroy the cadets, yea, and hop and taking pleasure in it. Ask Kathy santo. She is head of the club. (Evidence you say? How many yea employees now work for her? And they get paid to post on glass door as part of their job for the dog training company.) look at her Facebook from last September. She's been actively trying to destroy hop. Sick! All of you who want cadets gone-be careful what you ask for. And yet today, on fb, there is post after post after post from the members of the 2016 cadets talking about this being the best summer of their lives, learning hard and great life lessons from hop about working hard, never giving up, working till the very end , thanking staff and hop, calling cadets their home. They don't sound miserable at all-but rather very very thankful and proud to be cadets in 2016. Um, your logic is off topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already been stated, some people definitely are getting some satisfaction from this because they feel this is Hopkins' past catching up with him. Meanewhile just because the members had a successful season in terms of their development and such, it doesn't mean that nothing else matters for an organization. For YEA (or any group to be successful) the positive experiences from members, consistent donations (typically from alums having had a great experience) to primarily fund the activities, and a workplace environment that people want to be a part of, are all vital components and all depend on each other. Right now it seems that #3 on my list is suffering, and this stems from leadership. Because of this being a problem (assuming its true) then #2 will begin to suffer if alums are unsatisfied with the direction or leadership of the corps. And we can see how a lack of alum support and donations can hinder the ability of new members to connect with the history and tradition of a group amd having a lasting positive experience of the summer.

Yep. As im sure most who have been on both sides of things (member\staff) can attest, things can be a complete dumpster fire behind the scenes at times but the kids may not even know it or at least have full wind of it, provided the jobs are being done to prevent it directly effecting them.

HbRJgdZHsbc Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I saw they have 35 age-outs this year. Hopefully this helps for next year. Only 35 sounds promising for next year. But there were around 20 "Cadet vets" marching in Bluecoats, BD, Crown, and SCV. Including the famous winking Irish trumpet soloist for Bluecoats. I bet there are members doing the math on that one - Exodus places 1st-4th while staying at Cadets places 6th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcibrando Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Wow if all of this is even half true then there will be some REALLY good staff available for other corps to pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
