Poppycock Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 35 minutes ago, Tobias said: Well let's see... Gino was st Cadets with his techs for 17 years. Colin was there 9 years. Jeff Sacktig was there for 20+ years as was Greg Legola. April was there for 15+ years. Many techs were there 5+ years. Not sure where the revolving door hypothesis comes into play. Yeah that staff did win three Championships throughout those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liahona Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 The RED BULL SHOW is OUT...being moved...to Clifton, NJ..here is an excerpt of my email... Quote Greetings YEA! Ticket Patron, We write today to inform you of a change in venue for the tickets you purchased to the August 2 drum corps event originally scheduled for Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ. Inaction on the part of officials at Red Bull Arena has prompted a decision to relocate the August 2 Drum Corps: An American Tradition-Metro event to Clifton Stadium in Clifton, N.J. The decision follows months of planning and communication with officials at the Red Bull Arena as well as assurances on the availability of the facility in Harrison, N.J. The good news is the event still will feature eight top drum corps at the height of the performance season at the venerable Clifton Stadium in Clifton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was referenced to retention. The 2017 Cadet staff is made up of those who said yes to GH after so many resigned and left after 2016. I hope to see improvements in areas that have been problematic. However there were allot of staff candidates who said no for a reason. Wow that's so not what happened in either of those two examples. You're like a doctor trying to diagnose a patient you've never examined or even met People leave organizations for a variety of reasons. Sometimes yes because of personal dynamics's or ego "didn't get their own way"... but many people also leave for fresh opportunities, more money, personal reasons such as needing a change or wanting to move to a completely different geography, to work with someone else for new experiences etc. I realize you are a BD Honk. Have you asked yourself the legitimate question: if we suddenly cut BD revenue stream by 50% (so it more closely matched Cadets) what would BD's staff retention look like the past two decades? Becase sometimes it is about money, especially when the kids start arriving. And yes, sometimes it is about an individual relationship that's run its course Edited June 6, 2017 by George Dixon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) 6 hours ago, xandandl said: Both Leon May and Keith Potter are Cadets MMs alumni. Your guard program is basically CC2 True. But it depends upon when we start the history reset button here too. Colin McNutt, for example, was a" Boston Crusader" long before he was a " Cadet ". Cadets have had literally a few hundred " Cadets " over the years that were " Boston Crusaders " before they were " Cadets ". Which is perfectly fine too. Just wanted to point out that staffers and marchers did not just fall out of the sky with no prior experiences in other Corps before they arrived at the Cadets. George Hopkins himself is a Crossmen MM alum.. not a Cadets alum. Boston has taken in lots of staffers and marchers from other Corps too over the years. All Corps do. Every single one of them.
