The Morrison’s are great people and I could assure you that nothing has been ignored. The Crossmen policy about sexual harassment and sexual misconduct is strongly enforced. But starting topics about this stuff is going to hurt the drum corps community more than a newspaper article. We aren’t the last either. More stories are sure to come out from other corps. So do we gossip about them or let the actual corps and DCI board of directors take action on what to do. The opinions on these forums don’t matter anyways but if you had decent common sense and courtesy you would stay out of things like this and keep it too your self. Good people make mistakes every day. Sometimes there are consequences. I’m happy for you that your experience was good. But it’s not all about you. There’s a great big world out there of people who may not have had your great experience. You are not the arbiter of what can or cannot be discussed here or to monitor or judge our common sense. There are moderators here and if they find the discussion out of bounds or distasteful, they will take care of it. And I’m 60 years old. I have plenty of common sense. So don’t get preachy and sanctimonious with me. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that Nadolny's next tweet reminds readers that Genesis's director says that Moody told him recently that he was going to be touring with Crossmen this summer. Maybe not new members at this moment, but a lot of current vets and past were aware just because public interaction and speaking with other vets. The article of the first occurrence is available to the public on the internet. Though with all this going on. Not one vet would ever hold it against Joel because of what he does for the organization. I never ran into one veteran that was just like look what he did. Because he’s not the same person he used to be and of course things come back to haunt you and it was obvious this could happen. Sure maybe it could have been brought up into view of current members every year?! But this man is trying to move on with his life and work on his future and trying to get back on his feet and to have a every year thing to have the “Joel” talk. I know he’s sorry for his actions in his past. But It shouldn’t be necessarily needed to go over and over again every year Truthfully when I first met Joel he was the coolest dude ever and I love Joel! He’s been a great part of my experience as a member. But even when I found out about this during my second year my view of Joel never changed because I knew he was a changed man. If that doesn’t mean anything to anyone sorry. But it’s just a good view from a member. Not one vet would be offended and hold it completely against him because of what he does for our organization. But we are accepting of what is going on. We’re still going to have a good season and we’ll push forward and be strong.

Now I know why!!! Just sweep everything under the rug and it will go away. You know how many corps can take the quiet route? If they had a known predator or not, The mess can spread around to EVERY CORPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you're a prospective member of Crossmen, or the parents of a prospective member. Do you have the right to know that a staff member has this kind of history or not? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is your opinion. Are you a male? The experience may have been much different for female members of the corps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory11 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm sure there's individuals in the DC Hall of Fame with very shady backgrounds but know one will bring it up because of respect the legacy they left on the activity. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are. Jim’s dad had to send one packing in the ‘80’s. He’s dead now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingusmonk Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Let's use the YEA revelation as a timeline comparison. 4/5 Article is posted. 4/6 George Hopkins resigns. (1 day) 4/11 BoD resigns (6 days) Both of those were official communications. Moody situation. 5/1 Moody resigns 5/15 AM article published 5/15 PM Crossmen announce Moody resigned 2 weeks ago. They were unable to communicate this earlier? Even when they knew Philly.com was about to publish. Ok. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most pressing need is accountability for those currently active in drum corps (both the offenders and their enablers). DCI and DCA need to make it clear to prospective members (and their parents) and partners that this will never again be tolerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks what’s happening to the activity at this point in time. We’ll still have a great season! We’ll be the strongest Crossmen ever coming out of the gates and we’ll push forwards.
