Wow guys. Way to be motivators 😒

MMs of all groups are doing assignments all week long with physical health assignments as well. Scouts marching members are talented too. They just have to have the design and road team be better than the others. We all know that’s true. Kids have to be trained by better people. Our kids are excited and on fire with hope.
I feel this staff is good people. I hold my candle to top 12. I’ll eat my words later, but right now, as a first year Scout family members and 25 year DCI groupie, I am still smiling 💚⚜️🤍

They purposely chose a virtually all open class staff, and turned down people for key roles that are not only world class designers and staff members, but also people that have been ultra loyal to the corps. So yeah, im

going to voice my displeasure with things. Even the fact that they CHOSE to spend less and less on staff and design the last few years, in my opinion tanking, to insure they would “need” to go coed to rebound, makes me have ZERO faith.

Oh, and barring alums from various groups that go again CK’s mission, even though the corps has missed finals 4 times during his tenure, makes it impossible to support the current admin and direction. Or texting people to call them out for not falling in line. Forget that.

I hope your kid has a great experience, but the leadership has failed the organization And the board allows CK and his ### kissers to continue ruining the organization. 
 

Thus is a public forum, I’ll express my opinions, plus the members should know the truth about their admin and it’s vast numbers of failures. They’re only going to get sunshine and rainbows  from most in life anyway, so honesty will do them good.

Ok guys. I never said opinions should be suppressed 🙄 I was just noticing the grumpiness and decided to spice it up a bit. I am no newb to online forums, so no worries there. My preparedness referred to my own fragile ego. 🙋🏼‍♀️
I’m sad the program has disappointed so many. I’ll back out and keep my opinion to myself.

I appreciate your optimism, but as an alum tgat marched in the late 90’s, and until 2018 was nothing but a blind cheerleader post age-out, I’ve spent too many years thinking about, stressing about, and losing sleep over things because I blindly thought things would somehow improve. Since then, when I took a step back, stopped worrying about how I would be perceived from people, I can’t sit around and just be positive, when there are so many things that need to improve. I’ve been blasted by members of the admin, kicked out of Facebook groups, received texts from people I respect(ed), and watched people not willing to hold themselves and others accountable, when truthfully-some of those same individuals should be looking at themselves and those around them, and asking themselves the question of whether or not they are doing everything they must be doing for the betterment of the members and the organization.

Scott Stewart was fired for missing finals 1 time. Sal Salas was chased out for a dip in placement, yet CK is still around while missing finals 3 out of the last 4 years, an average placement of 12th, and the board gives him a rubber stamp. There is no accountability and that’s pathetic. He is inept, and so is his hand-picked BoD. 
 

If they improve, great, but the organization is in disarray and with the current BoD and ED, the glory days are over, and have been, and there needs to be a conscious effort and great change in many if we ever want to see this once great organization thrive again.

To say the glory days are over is way understated, where they were over 10 years ago.  As long as the great dictator/misguided executive director remains in power,

their hold on 16th-19th place holds tight.  His board, a blundering band of misfits, phonies, and wanna bees is the most unqualified panel of losers to ever fill these 

chairs.  I wish those seats were only delegated by performance so every one of them would be removed immediately, including the grand master of failure himself,

the Executive Director.  Poetic justice will be served this summer of 2020 to this group of gross incompetents, and the effects will be rippling in the drum corp arena.

It is too bad however that so many well meaning, hard working recruits have to pay the price for the deceitful, and offensively ingenuine BOD, and executive director.

Historically, following a tyrannical leader brings negative returns, and certainly no pity.  Gee, that happened in WWII, didn't it?

A fake board, failed director, and false narratives will yield deserved results.  This you can count on.

Yup.

Wilder, your assessment of this current Madison regime is 100% spot on. This situation is sickening and sad.

On or around June 20, 2020  the cold hand of DCI judging is going to slap the silly, fairy tale ideations of the misled MS enthusiasts into reality.

The entire charade gets exposed for the breach of trust that is was from the very first deceptive announcement.  Sorrow?  Pitty?  NO.  It

is what the weak deserve when they do not take control of their own destiny, and decisions, but turn them over to a failing, manipulative bully.  

When it was time to man up, the staff instead decided to girl up.  To all the misled followers; the rubber meets the road in June.  The Cavaliers

thank you.  

You mad bro?
