He shouldn't be found guilty of anything in the court of public opinion. Here's the thing about the court of public opinion though: it doesn't follow the sames rules as the court of law Just saying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anyone before tonight suggest that Tom Aungst should be disqualified from working with the Cadets. Doug Rutherford was DM under Hopkins. Is that bad optics? Sheesh. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exitmusic Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Some of the best instructors and designers in the business are "Golden Age" Cadets and are working with other groups. Why is that? Because no one wanted to work for GH. GH is gone. YEA needs to decide that it's time for these folks to come home. Staffs win championships. Our championships also created great staffs... for other corps. Namely: Bluecoats' visual co-caption heads (yes, both) Bluecoats' brass caption head Vanguard's guard caption head Boston's brass arranger Boston's artistic director Boston's drill designer (About half of the rest of Boston's staff) Crown's drill designer Crown's brass arranger Crown's percussion ensemble coordinator (About half of Crown's visual staff) Phantom's brass caption head Etc, etc. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rysa4 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Cadets are fine. Going through a transition. It is a marathon not a race. And Tom Aungst is part of the solution for sure. This year a great group is carrying.. our torch... for the future. Turning a corps around requires money after a large hole dug over many years due to fiscal mismanagment in a tough niche entertainment market where resources can be limited but turned around on a dime as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2muchcoffeeman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) "Right the ship." LOL So many drum corps would love to have their ship as wrong as the Cadets' supposedly is. Not saying that even the most accomplished corps don't have their issues, but I hope I can be forgiven for saving the rending of my garments for corps truly struggling to get their kids on the field from year to year. All the best to the Cadets, but I'm not feeling the angst cranked up to 11 yet. Edited July 17, 2019 by 2muchcoffeeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said you did, but you seem to want to make a huge point about public opinion. I'm just here to ensure you know it's not that important in this context. Got it?

Just when I think DCP might finally be a decent place someone comes along and reminds me it is, in fact, a sewer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
