CK-I know you lurk in here, do your job, if the inept board isn't going to fire you, own up and resign. You have failed the organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyDad Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Glass half full comment: nowhere to go but up for the Scouts! A bunch of new young faces on staff.

Drum Corps Guy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 On 8/15/2019 at 1:35 AM, FlamMan said: Except for 2017 & 2018, the Madison Scouts were always easily recognizable by their uniform. I'm afraid that goes away in 2020. I dont want to see the Scouts become just another homogenized, generic, non-recognizable drum corps. Hi, guys, I hope everyone enjoyed the rest of their summer! I for one must admit, I went through withdrawals after finals. Absolutely love this activity. I know I'm a bit late to the game with my post, but....Speaking of recognizable uniforms, I loved what the Cavies did this year at the closing ceremonies. They had the entire corps in their the uniforms. Really loved that gesture of keeping the tradition alive. Loved how they adjusted with themed costumes for the show, but went back to their roots wearing their traditional uniform clearly stating their identity as "The Cavaliers!" Can't wait to see how 2020 shapes out with each corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How difficult would that be logistically to pull them out for essentially an hour for the whole season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb's Diner Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 We found a card in Doris Hayes' memorabilia. The background is the 1973 flag line and the quote is: "Winning isn't everything . . . . but trying is. You'll Never Walk Alone." I stated in my Post against the 2019 thread that current management told staff (this is several years ago) that the Scouts were about entertaining; not winning. This was after staff challenged management to strive to win. My SO, who marched in 1975, told my son, who marched 2010 BD, "it doesn't suck to be a superstar!' The Scouts need management and staff to lead the members to achieve the best they can. After all, drum corps is a competitive activity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet those off season discussions are every bit as impressive as their 2019 placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
