Drumcorpguy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Welp, I've been around this thing for a long time. I was at Spirit when Magic of Orlando couldn't feed it's kids. The joke then was Lose Weight Like Magic. I remember corps in the 90's having to ditch coaches for school buses. I was on the bus when I heard our food truck driver (at Spirit) couldn't get into Canada for .... various reasons.... we later heard he had an outstanding warrant don't know if that was ever true or not. I was with another corp in the early 2000's where one of instructors had to leave mid tour, turned out mom of one his kids back at his high school found out they were a thing. doh.... I'm not defending any of this stuff, I'm just saying it's been a round a long time and I'm happy to see that they are finally doing something about it. Now isn't the time to boycott now is the time to show support for an activity that's trying to do the right thing. I aged out a long time ago, and just 2 weeks ago I took my son to his first call-back camp so he could march a drum corp like I did and I'm proud of it. I don't post often, but I've been a register member of this board since 2003 reading all the comments every year.

FlamMan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I bailed years ago and will not attend any shows again this year. Most of my former marching mates have done the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't miss much; now that the perc tech judge is not allowed to go see the battery, there will likely be no more flams...man. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have FLO because sign up per year but usually don’t catch a lot of DCI shows. Used to give to help members dues but had some bad experiences (cough SOPY cough) now give to defray meal costs for an all age corps. Lol so where does that leave me...
