One offs arent always a bad thing Are you playing dumb? In Carmen, Madison was explicit that she wasn't a member. You can call it "one off." I call it hypocrisy. She pays. She performs. She is a member. Now, a decade later, it appears Madison is doing the right thing. This flugel apparently will be a member. I applaud that. As for those who want to characterize my motives in this thread, I said "applaud." That's as in expressing pleasure. Or as in endorsing. Those sorts of verbs are the ones to apply to me and my motives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glory Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 As long as some people thought Jim Crow was okay, it was okay? I don't agree. Let me put it another way ... If Madison were calling this flugel a "guest perfomer" instead of "member" would that be okay? Not with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I marched in a DCA corps for six seasons, 1977-82... we won three DCA championships, finished in the top 3 two other years, but finished 6th in 1980. Therefore, I declare that none of us were "members" in 1980. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traverbanking Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Legally speaking, a corps would be considered a private club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
