MotoSurfBass Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 What does everyone think about the possibility of Michael Lentz going to Cadets as Program Coordinator? He didn't go over well at Boston a couple years ago, but I actually liked the Animal Farm show, and think his style could be what Cadets need, plus he brings that WGI cache that is so important now to be a contender. In addition, it would create an awesome Boston vs. Cadets dynamic lol.....as evil as that is to say. The irony... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) I am really not a fan of the term poaching. Staff are free agents at the end of the season, unless arranged otherwise. And there comes a time for everyone to move on to new adventures. I don't blame BAC or any staff members who want to move for finding mutually beneficial arrangements. I can really appreciate that sentiment from you Jurassic Lancer... as it was a sad day for 27th ( your Corps ) when 27th lost Zingali ( a former marcher in 27th ) to the Cadets. Zingali was instrumental to the Cadets emergence in Visuals.. and later, Star of Indiana. These things happen, and one can't blame staffers when they decide to make a change of scenery for one reason or another.

I talked to George Z. shortly after he switched. He just said, "I took 27th as far as I could take them. It was time for me to move on." That's pretty much a quote, but the verbiage might be slightly different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emc2 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The irony... Mike was a good person. He left on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2muchcoffeeman Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Where is Boston getting all of this money? Inspire Arts and Music (I AM) is a very professionally run, very aggre$$ive, 501c(3) board. They have a huge board, very light on alums, and Job 1 of every member is: Raise Money. They make a strong play for corporate giving in a target-rich environment -- one of the country's largest concentrations of financial-services corporations. IAM has diversified -- it owns a major HS music festival and a music-instrument retailer. A very solid organization with some really focused people at the helm.

We'll see if $ can buy a championship. My heart goes out to Crown who must feel betrayed about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was growth opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
