With so many predicting Cavaliers to medal, does the same hold true for Cavies? If not, why not? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are not judging. You've already pre-judged the performance before the season has even begun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will Madison be a medalist or dci champion again as a co-ed corps? Is that your inference? Edited June 21, 2018 by HockeyDad 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nor as a co-ed corps, as long as the current (mis)management team is in power. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When did everyone become angry at everything? I don't see it as anger but a reflection of simply the evolution of a society. Things change over time. Just look at drum corps for a perfect example of that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vferrera 86 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Gender composition is 99% about the culture of the organization off the field. It has little or nothing to do with talent or competitiveness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
legacy 34 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 This is just such a terrible idea. It really isnt unexpected given the obvious identity issues the corps is having. Would like them to hold on to thier identity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that your inference? I think it’s possible. I don’t think it’s reasonable to project Madison to be a medalist again if they continue to believe that they must be one gender. Like it or not, dci is moving quickly to a theatrical design paradigm. Imo you can’t eliminate half of the best marching members from Day 1 and expect to compete with 16+ Male and female world class corps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But dci shows are way way beyond the past “identity” of the Scouts now. If you’re okay with Madison fighting to make finals, that’s cool, just don’t get angry when it happens.

ThirdValvesAreForWimps 1,696 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Leave Madison alone. Their alumni should decide this — and nobody else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
