Don Taylor was high brass instructor. Chad Pence was brass caption head. I thought brass was BK high point this year. Oh for Pete's sake. BK has removed the entire staff roster from its site, just as several other corps do at this time of year. Don already was forced to come into this forum and defend himself, explaining that he left BK in May for health reasons. So, A) it's not a dismissal and B) it happened 3 months ago, before the competitive season even began. Meanwhile, a 10-second search on Facebook shows that Chad Pence is eagerly looking forward to 2019 with BK. I hate this thread every year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the good gossip mongers that we are. LOL. I do wish though, that instead of rumor and innuendo, what is written has some basis in fact. Maybe no "sorta" name dropping where the inference is left out there without a name. Like "hey a corps from the (name the region) was doing such and such". well if you go so far as to spread the rumor, state facts or say nothing until you have facts.

leadsop04 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Here's a question to semi get us back on topic: Why are so many drum corps trying to get "a big name" instead of some young fresh talent that are hungry to climb the ranks? Look at Mandarins going from 17th to 10th in two years with a relatively unknown design team on the visual side. I mean that in absolutely no disrespect to these people!! They did amazing work!!! My point being if Mandarins had went with "big names" while not getting their 100% attention would they even be in the place they are in competivitely? I could see the desirability of getting these big names but some drum corps have nothing else to lose. Why not double down and try to win the jackpot like Mandarins? Good design is good design regardless of the name attached to it. Edited August 17, 2018 by leadsop04 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
