Timing would be good for drum corps to have it's #MeToo moment right now.  There is no way this is an isolated story.

You can check out the reddit thread on this subject.  It doesn't appear to be isolated.

Good examples of how to deal with sexual preds:

Garrison Keillor

Al Franken

Both of these entertainers were much higher profile than GH - Garrison was taken down very quickly - all mention of him has been removed from the Minnesota Public Radio web site -- Garrison built Minnesota Public Radio into an empire - their current president and board sent him shipping quicker then a chicken catches a grasshopper in July - 

Took a bit longer for Franken - but claims directed toward his sexual harassment brought him down --

GH needs to be completely expunged from the drum corps activity - I don't want to see his name in any DCI history ever - the art that he had a hand in, contributed to - will live on - the performances of the members will live on --- the memory of GH is nothing but a cautionary tale --

Later cadets!

You seem a little snarky with no sense of history nor the dramatic change this news imparts.

Your shallowness is more than a little grating, but I admit my emotions of nearly 40 years are a little raw and I might be unfairly harsh in my criticism.

Still, your lack of sensitivity is more than a little shocking, especially coming from a presumed music guy.

I don't agree with this at all.  Sweeping his name under the carpet is NOT a way to deal with this in a meaningful way.
