That you should check your facts before spouting is self-evident. That you can simply ask me may not be so evident. But no less true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point sounds like an honest screw up but surprised this wasn’t noticed/discussed until after it was performed in public. And wonder who brought it to Corps management attention, someone inside the corps, DCI or outside person. Wondering as could be added to the “lessons learned” that are discussed after a good sized “oh crap”...

Notice, small 'g' in honor of the corps. I've had that screen name, and email address, for decades. I know that to some that ties me deeply to the corps. OK , I admit it: I've loved their shows. I thought your screen name was in honor of this guy. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is where was the corps director or other senior staff to stop it from happening at all. That it even happened is a problem IMHO and I understand others may not feel the same way. it's a fair question - I would assume they weren't thinking about it from your and my perspective - they were thinking about it from their show "story line" vs. our third-person perspective it was tone deaf - bottom line they should have been - the positive is, as soon as the reaction became clear they made the immediate change I'm glad it was removed. But it's totally a fair criticism 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, I came home from the theater and practically immediately posted that I was very uncomfortable. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit it: to the non-corps fan and uninitiated, the cat and the actor are good explanations. To drum corps fans, no explanation is necessary. Well, except maybe to you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
