JimF-LowBari Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) So we never found out why the member (AIN’T saying gender lol) did this. Other than there was supposedly a scheduling screwup and surprise you’re listed to perform. And what group did this person perform in?

Would you be comfortable contacting all of George's victims and telling them you are doing a DCI show about them next year? There are absolutely lots of differences between the these responses. For one thing, I think it's likelier that a loved one of a 9/11 victim saw Scouts' 2011 show than it is that one of Hopkins's victims saw this I&E performance. Should Hannibal Buress, out of respect for Bill Cosby's victims, not have said in a comedy show that Cosby was a rapist? It is generally believed that Buress's monologue directly led to those victims coming forward again and at last having their stories taken seriously. That said, you raise some points well worth considering. I only wish to emphasize that there are no easy answers here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York City's flagship corps... did a brief, but very moving 9-11 tribute in their '02 show. Understated, yet very powerful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Googled and guy was a monsignor in Altoona. "Was" because I just found out he passed away few months back. Yeah off topic and feel free to delete but in shock and had to get it out. Guy was from Wilmore PA (population 225) and you gotta be a local to even hear of that place. Edited August 16, 2018 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking what I&E group the person was competing in. For example the one time I did I&E I was in the Baritone group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very uncomfortable for us looking in from the outside, can't image how they would feel? I would just do it but not contact. This years show certainty showed respect for them with the Unity Project. If one could build from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCP's technical quirks sometimes add confusion, so I'd just like to note that you're responding to skevinp's question and not something I asked.
