seen-it-all Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Jeff Ream said: I'l be honest....i loved the tradition, but i understand their desire to make the change. However, I have said all along, would this be happening if they were in the top 6? Probably not. But lets say they make this change and start climbing the competitive ladder again and get back into the top 6 sometime in the next 5 years. Do you think they would then turn around and switch back to all-male? Again, probably not. As with most things, one's circumstances dictate one's actions. It kind of makes these questions rather irrelevant. Especially when taking context out of the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point is painfully clear, bringing in the girls fixes nothing, and brings about a tundra of betrayal to the fans, the alumni, and the entire drum corp world. The YT video of CK and his yes boy JE was painful in it pretense, and consequences. For the record, the MS have always been inclusive. They also have been all male since day one. This dog dont hunt, and it sure dont fly. The day the Scouts announced they were going coed, I said its nothing but a diversion and self preservation for CK. After all, in this era of wokeness, who would criticize or fire someone who broke down the barriers of discrimination and seclusion of a misogynistic all Male organization? Give me a freaking break. The BOD Is gutless. Apathy and incompetence brings down organizations and we have seen the results of both the last 10 years under CK's failed regime. How in the world does this guy survive? Do they even do performance appraisals? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see proof that that was the reason Kilts folded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine should be able to fill in the blanks for ya. Something having to do with EBBUBERY was the cause of the Kilts demise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mello Dude Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Their problems didn't stem from talent or numbers. This is a "look squirrel" moment to distract from real issues. Question, did all female corps ever go co-ed or just fold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And truth be told, I'm getting a little old. But for the life of me, I don't remember feeling betrayed by the fact that the Scouts decided to bring in female MM's or electing you as "official DCI mouthpiece." Thanks for speaking for all of us though... 🙄 Just calling 'em like I see 'em. No offense intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one small all-girl corps here in NJ, the Pompton Lakes Stardusters, that added guys to limp along for a few years back in the 70's. The girl corps wore pink sequinned uniforms. Luckily they gave the guys white shirts to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
