There were a number of seasons where The Kids had to miss a week of school (one time, 2 weeks) due to DCI Tour. This year, kids here in SE Georgia went back to school August 2nd. So ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might decide to stay as head of a corps with no members and no DCI connections. But still with the equipment . And who has rights to the name? Drop the Pioneer name, modernize, and bring back The Thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If a corps can survive (and thrive) what was going on at the Cadets org why not Pioneer org? What happened here PALES in the bigger context. That begs the question why weren't the Cadets org on probation for worse things? Hopefully they will take swift and corrective action. Being competitive while important isn't everything. It's funny but the a bad taste of RAMD seems to be getting more rampant here at DCP. Lets see what happens after some light is shown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being competitive while important isn't everything. It's funny but the a bad taste of RAMD seems to be getting more rampant here at DCP. Lets see what happens after some light is shown. I would have to go back and look at the timeline, DCI did step in quickly, but the former director was already gone and I believe the board may have already resigned. Cadets had people ready to step up to the plate, and at the late April camp, a corps was in place. Probation was a wise decision because we saw movement in the right direction. Information released later today pointed out that DCI had concerns with Pioneer since last year, and things went from bad to worse. I also don’t think Pioneer would have the resource of an alumni base that could do for Pioneer what Cadets alumni did for the corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dams have broken, the truth is out there, and there will be no machine denying it forever. It's positively refreshing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
