It was nothing more than asking you about something you intimated knowing about. That's all. You are right, maybe Ms. Coates SHOULD provide something but you said it was a "policy" then you said Ms. Coats said they are "permitted under terms widely used as standard practice". So that begs the questions: who is permitting this? And where is it shown to be standard practice? I'd love for the OP to get a copy of the contract, but why does it seem that NO ONE can get a copy of a contract? NO ONE! How about Ms. Coates show the contract? How about anyone show a standard or specific corps contract? This would put all the armchairs lawyers to rest. I think most feel contracts are private to each corps BUT Im sure those who have an issue with this should have a copy. Now if they dont want to show it to the public one MIGHT think there is way more behind it. Just sayin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old DCI website I knew where to get the "For Parents" file where the policy is specifically stated to prospective members. In this new website I can barely find the schedule, let alone the parent-Q&A file. This is not a new policy! It's been around for, literally, decades. Maybe Google will help find it... Sorry, your sincere question came at a moment when I was deflecting arrows from others who were less authentic in their demands to be angry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) THIS directly from Crown's site just a moment ago (emphasis mine): • What if I still owe money to the last corps I marched with? Unfortunately, you will not be permitted to participate in Carolina Crown until you have fulfilled all financial commitments to any previous drums corps you have participated in. This is a Drum Corps International policy and there are no exceptions. Edited February 3, 2017 by garfield insert link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Drum Corps International policy and there are no exceptions. This has nothing to do with scholarships granted for a previous season IMO. I don't think anyone here is disputing that any financial commitments in terms of member fees must be fulfilled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not all corps honor this....continually..maybe this is why there are more stipulations when awarding a scholarship to members. Just sayin imo this needs to be honored across the board , winter to summer, summer to fall, fall to winter etc etc Edited February 3, 2017 by GUARDLING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does if the contract the Crown member signed stipulates that the scholarship needs to be repaid if they leave the corps. Problem is, we just have a contention but no proof because the OP has not provided a contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As some have argued, the term scholarship may take on different meanings. So if someone was given financial assistance under the title "scholarship" then this most certainly holds true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
