I expect many on the Cadets staff will soon resign after finding other positions. Many Cadets members will leave, and DCI right now has their calculators out and may ban the Cadets from competition this year. Quite horrible news and very painful for those of us who have been part of the organization as members and then as alumni over the years. I respect the women for coming forward and sharing their pain while doing the right thing. IMO it’s entirely too early in the discovery phase of these allegations to know for sure what the repercussions will be on the entire activity. Just don’t believe there is a quick fix to rid the activity of this behavior. Hope I’m wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I am a music educator for my career and I have a position with the Cadets for this summer - I am saving my reputation and looking for another gig. One other thing - DCI will levy a fine against the Cadets too. I doubt it will be small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say what existing staff will do. "Looking for another gig" in April is pretty tough. Sticking with a corps through a bad situation and helping it recover some of its glory doesn't look bad on a resume, either. Don't be so sure and, if you are, please tell me if the stock market will end the day higher or lower on Monday. How about next Thursday? We can see quickly how shiny your crystal ball is, and if we should pay attention to your prognostications. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My support has never been in question and will continue. But in no way does support equate to silence or defense of this type of behavior. I respect the court system and understand innocent until proven guilty. Harvey Weinstein hasn't been found guilty of anything and neither had Joe Paterno, but the outcomes already seen won't be dissimilar to this instance in my opinion. Why would they be? Except our activity involves children in the eyes of society. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have all seen the outcomes of these exact situations in recent times. We aren't special as an activity, and are far less powerful. I am highly concerned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrumManTx Posted April 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2018 The impression I am getting is quite the opposite of what is being predicted by some on here, the attitude of a lot of the members I have seen on various places as well as alumni I know is, after getting Hopkins out, to pull together and push to not let this tear their corps apart. The members don’t deserve for this to destroy their summer and corps. Appropriate actions need to be taken and people who committed those atrocities need to be removed and punished......but I don’t think that means not fielding this summer. It’s gonna be so hard in some regards but I don’t think anyone who sees them perform this summer, me included, is gonna scoff at the site of the Cadets because of a stigma. We all know who was responsible and I am sure giving those members my full support. To me what has happened prior to this is what would push people away and not want to be a part of that organization. Now that change is happening and the times are tough it seems the opposite is happening. Of course all from someone outside looking in with a mere few connections. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
