Some( not all or even many ) want to share their innermost emotions, especially if they had a bad day for whatever reason ( usually a staff confrontation of some sort) a few times that I do remember a member is warned BUT there have been some that just don't take the warning.

Thank You, I get the not taking the warning I had teenager. Was called into school for a conference, they told me his excuse was I had Nam flashbacks (never did) and the only thing that fixed it was a ton of beer and loud drum corps late into the night that's way he couldn't complete his homework. I replied Drum Corps abuse bet you get that a lot, they were stunned. Edited August 16, 2018 by Bluzes 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember, I think it was in 2011, a guard captain sent home 3 weeks before championships, Sad it even had to happen but after at least 4 or 5 warning, something had to be done. sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this 1st hand True. Corps Mgt have been known in the past to send staffers packing too when they violate the rules. So its not just MM's that are sent packing when they violate the rules.

Drboned Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Recently there was chitchat at dcieast that in ‘14 or ‘15 one female DM and a male admin were having an affair. Both were over 21, went to work on the management side in Allentown and live together after tour. Not that any of that matters now. Names aren’t important. Speaking hypothetically... What if a current Drum Major has an unpursued allegation from their hs or college that wasn’t reported to the drum corps due to board of education pressures? or let’s say it was, then what? I certainly don’t care, yet, Rules are rules? I guess my question to all of you in the know, how would that get handled if it had become public knowledge then? What if this happened in the 90s or 80s before instant information, cell phones became cameras, everything was available in your hands and your private affairs got out? Is this next article all speculation and 1sided information? Disclaimer- I do not approve of any of the disgusting, power seeking, forced actions, I just don’t understand how a newspaper prints a one sided series. My teenage years news was news and there would be followups and updates. ned Edited August 16, 2018 by Drboned Punctuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different rule, but I remember a certain mellophone tech in 94 not being with the corps after Dan Farrel noticed that he’d added some musical flourishes to the mello part. (This was during warm up arc. “Mellos, what the hell was that?”) We weren’t really sure if he was sent home or it was just a coincidence but he wasn’t there the for the rest of tour. Granted, things worked out for him in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
