I have asked that question for months. G will not answer it. Instead he bloviates about corporate structure. Because he knows the answer is truly damning. He doesn't see that he's ENABLING abusers by defending Acheson. Standing by and doing nothing in the face of evil with the excuse "I'm just following orders" is an all-too-familiar refrain. You need to have the moral character to stand up and say NO THIS WILL NOT STAND. Edited December 14, 2018 by karuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the cold blooded all that matters is what is written down and It's a legal question. How they can seperate the human suffering that comes from this is beyond me. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 The one thing I’ve learned about drum corps in the last eight months that I somehow missed in the last 50 plus years, is that there is no shortage of excuses. So, we that going for us. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different division, and you were forced to buy us, but "The Wells Fargo wagon is a-comin' down the track..." right now it's spinning in it's own ####, trying to find it's way....just like DCI. and let's split a hair here...DCI IS the corps. and the corps...which are DCI...allowed this stuff to go on for way too long and swept it under the rug if not flat out ignoring it. So yet again, their past is coming back to haunt them. Yes everyone wants to blast Dan and the office, but in reality, the Board...the folks Dan answers to....are the ones who allowed this mess to build up until it exploded. And yeah, they have rules now and flexed their muscles a little. But if anyone thinks this is going to be the last bomb dropped, they're more clueless than Tim Sloan Edited December 14, 2018 by Jeff Ream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone, and I mean anyone, who's connected to music performance will recognize the drumline shown as being an HBCU-style, if not an actual HBCU school. Again, simply, why not choose one of the many posted videos of the corps at the center of the article instead of substituting a completely unrelated image? well...i'll gladly take some of the blame for that picture. on article after article about YEA, pictures of the Cadets kept showing up, and several of us commented to tricia privately and publicly on social media to try and kee the current kids pictures out of it, as they did nothing wrong and in fact were paying the price for the former director and boards actions/inactions. so my hunch is she kept to that approach here. otherwise she had a plethora of options to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So others here need to stop asking for innocent heads to roll. It shouldn't be surreal at all. Am I the only one willing to defend the innocent until proven guilty? What's surreal is that I'm, apparently, the only one here who's willing to for the betterment of the activity. anyone that allowed to let it happen and is still in power...yeah heads need to roll. didn't realize DCi didnt do background checks on judges after reading that article. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep reading that the only power DCI as an entity has is keeping Corps out of DCI sanctioned shows. Other than that it’s”we have a policy but if corps don’t follow it... well they can’t be in a DCI show.... and..... they can’t be in a DCI show”. It’s as if corps don’t want DCI to have more power because DCI might actually do something or they'd make less money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
