Bad time of year since most administrators are on vacation, etc. and schools will not give out band director contact information,. School voicemail and email are our only means of leaving messages and many band directors do not check them regularly since school is not in session. Thank you everyone for your help!

This seems like a problem that needs to be addressed for future years. If "Murphy" makes an appearance, plan B has to be implemented or at least have the ability to reach the decision makers.

Ruined years ago by a top corps I hope that top corps that ruined a housing site is one of the ones that gets left in the lurch. Not fair that other corps Might get left out of this show due to someone else’s bad behavior. Which corps was it by the way? Why not name the guilty party?

There are many schools in that region that refuse to house drum corps for this very reason. And some of the incidents go back a long way. That's all it took was just one time and from then on, they said, "Never again." Hopefully, a lesson learned for those corps who did the damage and all corps in general.

dcikon2 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 My high school has hosted drum corps in the past. I had to cringe on one occasion when a staff member walked around campus without a shirt and had nipple rings. He was also smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We reached out to a few colleges. Because of the "Sandusky scandal" many of them require background checks for members, volunteers, and staff over the age of 18. One of them told me that because of the contract with dining services, no outside food vendors permitted on campus (which includes the corps food truck). Also no sleeping in the gymnasium, dorms only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
