There are a couple of dozen or more current members of The Cadets who have moved up from C2. I would say C2 is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing.

I would say C2 is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. but is not replacing as in seasons past nor scoring as well either. In fact, they have pulled out of one show coming up because of the need to make up time in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't the best writer, it is poorly written. But he is referring to the staff not guiding/teaching the members. George, I trust you, and so I am choosing to believe that you know what he meant to say. But that is not what he said. Regardless, it is at best counterproductive and at worst very unprofessional to be criticizing your members or your staff on Facebook. Can we not jus have one season without this drama? Why do Cadets alums put up with this? No other corps allows this. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the purpose? To throw the staff (that you hired!) under the bus? As I said - he is a poor communicator I lead/manage a ton of people at work - I am very cautious and deliberate with what I say and do not say. Everything has a purpose and intent. If I say something it is quite intentional Hopkins seems to be quite an "emotional" communicator - for lack of a better word. Rather than careful and deliberate/purposeful 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a very clear reason these two corps are headed in opposite directions and every single Cadets loyalist knows it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the staff is who he's talking about,* one has to wonder how the staff is going to feel about coming back next year. * He's talking about the kids. Most of my season was like this. Bad decisions in design become "you just aren't working hard enough to generate the effect." Seen him get into screaming matches in the shower with members about their attitude 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
