Everyone is worried about everyone else and what they are saying and doing. Social media can surely be blamed for some of this. I have always told my kids to worry about yourself, your family, and your friends. Don't worry about what everyone else is saying and doing. Its non-productive.

We were talking about show concepts in the optics of their recent trouble... Not political discourse in education. I hate it when a good observation gets made toxic... It's a daily tragedy these days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it, don't read it. But you can't discount it, I shared an unbiased look at a Cadets rehearsal. If you're disappointed with what I observed, I was too. I've watched many a Cadets practice, they were the epitome of professionalism and they won with that approach. What I witnessed is not the professional Cadets staff behavior of the past. Thanks for sharing your experience. The Cadets do have an influx of far leftist viewpoints on staff. My wife and I have had concerns about the affect of this on the corps. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I have had concerns about the affect of this on the corps. Preaching inclusion when you can only accept so many members is silly. At least put stipulations on it like race inclusive and gender inclusive- which is great but just using the word inclusion is sorely misleading. And really almost every top level corps has the same level of "inclusion" and "exclusion" so why preach about it? It's not like the Cadets can encourage the kids that don't make the cut to join C2 and still have a "Cadet" experience any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but when a corps chooses to use their show design (and apparently, some rehearsal time too) to deliver political discourse, it might bleed over into conversations about the corps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In todays America inclusion = if you have differing views and opinions you will be called names and excluded. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris ncsu Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Anyway, so The Cadets have a show tonight, and Friday and Saturday, free day Sunday, show Monday. Another long slog, and in this heat. Stay hydrated and healthy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
