iheartponies Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 In viewing a show in WA recently I missed a reasonable part of a performance because a group from California was so unaware as to not only warm up too close to the stadium but also didn't think to point in the opposite direction. What I have heard is this group is also warming their CG up with obnoxious music tragically close to entrance gates and their staff monkeys don't have any respect for corps on their way to the gate while unloading props at the gate after the show start- which is not supposed to happen after start time. # if you want to win and be respected- do it right. Otherwise you breed a village of soulless idiots that continue to proliferate the notion that millenials suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulless Idiots who are you referring to I don't think the members have much choice where the staff sends them to warm-up. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartponies Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Members are members- soulless idiots is a little harsh I suppose- they go where they are told and follow the example of their leaders- the problem occurs when good teachers make poor choices like this but still manage to turn students into instructors who then use the same bravado and proliferate the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corps have been penalized for playing outside and too close to stadiums during shows in progress. For one example, the Blue Devils were penalized 5 tenths at Quarterfinals at Championships outside Lucas Stadium, Indy in 2015. ( didn't eventually hurt them, as they moved up from 4th to win it all, 2 nights later) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartponies Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 No penalties have occurred or any ownership by the corps' administration for this group. This is all on the staff and administration and complete lack of awareness and disrespect for the activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were in upstate New York. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to believe that a group would just willingly be spiteful or hateful to other groups like that. Lack of awareness? Perhaps. However, I don't think that one show like this is gonna raise a bunch of corrupt music educators. The leadership of all groups seem to have respect for the activity, otherwise they wouldn't be in it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartponies Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 This group should be way above this even though they are trying to win- and yes students do inherit the behaviors of their instructors- while most admin tame the bravado, the fallout of some instructors that have been in the business too long trickles down and creates jerks with no awareness.

c.l. Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just email admin staff I'm sure you'll get an answer. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
