PamahoNow Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 15 minutes ago, Stu said: Sure it is easy to understand. A 17 year old used to stay and age out with their corps, loving their corps, helping make their corps better. Now a 17 year old spends one year with the Troopers, two years with Spirit, (both providing great experiences but no ring) then ages out with BD (or SCV, or Crown, ...) to hopefully get that ring. It has nothing to do with love of others, love of corps, but love of self. As for the fee, even though BD has capital, it would help deter them from pulling talent away from other WC corps. I could get aboard on this. Let's make the "fee" $1.00. Now you are happy and the rest of us can quit listening to you. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Lancer Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Didn’t this thread start Saturday because the 2019 Madison Scouts’ thread was too long to read? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 3 hours ago, Old Corps Guy said: It is a mindset issue. We have schools that respond with high expenses or other difficulties for a multitude of reasons. Corps need to approach schools requesting housing as an opportunity to teach and give an opportunity for the band programs to even make a buck or two. I have visited many rehearsal sites all around the country where I would gladly have paid a couple bucks for a Gatorade or water while I am watching a corps rehearse. It can be a win/win if approached the right way. I know it has been for us for many years. and in this day and age, more and more administrators only see dollar figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) A Blue Devils talent tax! So what happens if an individual auditions for and gets a spot in the Blue Devils; but comes away without a ring? Do they get a Blue Devils tax refund?

You don't agree, you dont' like it, you think it is inept, and you, Mr. DCP Jeff, want it purged. Typical. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmolnar Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 It really should be purged. It’s become a dumpster fire thread with nothing of value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People claim they believe in freedom of speech, and censorship is a bad thing; that is until they disagree with what is being said, call it nothing of value, and then want it purged. So it goes, so it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
