The complete lack of self-awareness and Madison and Regiment is astounding. It's not like what works, from a design and show construction standpoint, is some big secret. It's free. It's out there for everyone to see. I just don't get it. Good grief, and this point if I were Regiment I would start copying the top corps in terms of design and show construction. I may be wrong, but... I think they are aware. They have no idea how to correct it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does anyone go about telling the current staff/BOD/administration that we don't have the 'best that money can buy"? They don't even have the best for the money range they are spending. Too many bad staff hires in a row. When you're hiring the drill writer that got fired from Madison for a terrible showing and propping him up as being the guy that will make you better--- you're bad at making decisions and should leave. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With higher placements comes more money, visibility and in some cases, power. But now, remember when the G7 launched, we discussed, and shortly after it was the Cavies and not Phantom.....what if they fall and stay down? When is the last time both Madison and Phantom both didn't make finals in the same year? 1972 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the current staff being given the SCV music and told to design a show using it. i can't.

Some of the others on here are the same ones who have knocked them for years. A couple of them were quite desperate for Dan Farrell to be gone saying how much he was responsible for something or other. Now Will Pitts is the target. You represent your corps and the experience you had with them well. Because of this I listen to what you say with more than a grain of salt. I have and thank you for your kind words. I’m not here to knock anyone and like many posters I’m frustrated at the direction the corps is heading. The Regiment means a lot to me as I’m sure it does to many fellow alums. This is why I’m asking FMMs, fans, alumni to get involved. Singling out individuals to place blame on is counter productive and petty. Dan and Tim Farrell did their level best to keep Regiment headed in the right direction and I am very thankful to them for toughing it out through good and bad. We wouldn’t have had Spartacus if it weren’t for their perseverance. Will Pitts doesn’t deserve the disrespect shown in this thread. His product is improving...now to get the design team headed in the same direction. Ranting/pontificating on a message board is not going to change the course the current board is on. It takes action. Contact the BOD directly, call Mr. Valenzuela and voice your concerns. Ask them how they feel about the corps’ current standings. I’m sure the board would welcome some fresh ideas. If it’s a money thing, then we get involved in fundraising for the competitive season. It starts with a dialogue with those who can actually enact change. It’s time to hold the board and corps director accountable. 1 hour ago, EricS said: it's real easy How do you know? Have you actually tried to approach them???? I doubt it.

Do you really believe that the BOD would welcome some fresh ideas from alums/fans? PR had a new alumni fundraising program launched this year. Project 56. No idea how it has done. I don't know if they even have records on all of the alumni over the years. I've never received anything.
