dans Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I believe DCI's new requirements for remaining World Class was a factor in the Cadets recent changes. I'm sure all corps are taking a hard look at their long term financial health. I respect the management team at the Cadets for making tough choices for the future of the organization. I'm glad they are committed to the future of this great drum corps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algernon Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 And the alumni who got together to create the upheaval in Cadet-World remain silent, sitting on their wallets and dreaming of Elk's Parade.

Like I said legit business reasons I am sure, but it doesn't look good How the recent changes look should not be the Cadets main concern at this time. Would it look good and be good PR to let the Cadets fold? There are many factors and moving parts that are behind the recent changes at the Cadets. I wish some would become less cynical and actually support the survival of this great corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they want to audition for an organization who may seem to be on "thin" ice financially? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You broke it, you own it! Ummm... so it is the alumni's fault. Since it is near Christmas I can understand why you would want to roll out that old chestnut. Yea... the alumni is to blame for the actions of one individual. Good luck with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your unfathomable and obvious loyalty to GH is really shining through now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersnyder Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Their 990 should come out in March or so of 2020. If USBands income has dropped as much as rumored, it won’t be pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
