I never said anything about relevancy. I said that this was not appropriate. You can draw lines here. It is not appropriate to say the "f word" in church. That doesn't mean that I think that the topic profanity is not a relevant discussion in the world. Fellowship? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister was wearing a corps shirt in a college class when the prof said he was in Reveries. Had read about the sit in in Drum Corps News so told her to ask if he was part of it. Few days later she calls back "What the bleep was the sit in, I asked and his jaw hit the floor". Answer was no he just missed that year.

You can follow direction from above in different ways. Anything from serious and paying lip service. No idea what the individual corps are doing but have seen it in other places "This" being reporting abuse. Finally remembered one of the accusations against Pioneer is corps members being told corps business is handled by the corps. Sexual abuse is not one of the problems supposedly facing the corps but this is basically telling the members not to report. Which kills the operation of this plan DCI put together. A plan is only as good as the people below using it. If some of them don't take it seriously.....

It's a part of the history of this activity, and the Reveries later through mergers, etc., became Two-Seven. There was no merger in this instance. Quite oppositely, it was a split. The membership and staff of the former I.C. Reveries, having parted ways with the Immaculate Conception church after the 1967 season, elected to keep the corps going. They selected a new name (27th Lancers), developed new funding sources, and the rest is history. Meanwhile, the former feeder corps of the Reveries remained with the church for awhile, and was not tied to the 27th Lancers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are all in agreement with that. What I think the disagreement is on whether this was a worthy way to bring awareness to the issue after DCI remained largely silent about it all season. Largely silent? "Participant safety" is now a main menu category on DCI.org, and member safety news items have been appearing among the "top stories" I see on my view of the website all summer. Granted, those news items are all repeating from pre-season, so I understand your frustration with the lack of continuing progress. Not sure I would characterize it as "silence", though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He among those without sin shall cast the first stone. There's not one person alive who hasn't sinned, so why is everyone casting stones? They did it, it's done. I'm sure there will be new rules implemented next year. Lets move on. Evaluating the pros/cons of various protest strategies is hardly the same as "casting stones". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this, plus the new Women of DCI movement that was given - among other things - meeting rooms in LOS, meeting times, meetings at other Regionals, suites, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked if anyone from the NEW safety committee ever checked with the corps in question during the season seeking input from corps members. The answer was then dci can't do that under their charter back in 1972. Nice bait and switch but I am not buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one case DA should have stayed mum or at least kept his distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
