Look, I don’t like a lot of decisions that have been made either, but to say that Chris and/or Dann are awful goes too far. They’ve had huge positive influences on hundreds of Scouts in the last 10+ years. The results are awful. The Madison Scouts are no longer a destination drum corp. Failure like this should result in a quick firing. There is no defense for this regimes results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the motivation for firing him? They finished in 11th in Mason's last year - I guess Komnick thought they could do better? I really haven't looked at the trajectory of Madison's finishes lately. Mason's five year average placement was the best since Sal Salas.

As for positive influences, I can agre with that on DP, CK though, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he was in 2008 and 2009. He was a fine visual tech in 2007, but not a good corps director in 2008 and 2009. Also CK and DP seem to be two peas in a pod. As I see it, they are one in the same when it comes to the administrative issues with the corps right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide some clarification? If I had qualified my claim regarding hypocrisy and leadership-by-example, would that have mitigated the issue?
