I hope that if they do fold, members can get that $5K back. I would probably use the payment plan option rather than paying in full up front this year.

I think 1990 was the last year they allowed that. Phew! Memories are grey from back then! In fact, seeing the "Bloo" banner in the stands, I don't think they had that until '89, so this probably is '90 Buffalo. The last year for banners, IIRC.

GetOFFmyDot Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I don't want to kick something that is already beaten up, but... Every time you donate anything to The Cadets or YEA, you are helping subsidize the settlement they made with George Hopkins, who did awful things to too many people. There are many other corps around who have protected children and youth are who are more deserving of your money. I am truly sorry if that hurts anyone, but it is the truth. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the drum corps would love to jump ship (with the name, equipment and staff) but considering the Cadets are YEA's primary function... yes and the Cadets need out from those three letters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not trying to hide it. It's all anyone could talk about at UIL and midwest. agreed, confirmed by people who would actually know. face it, they were a mess before the scandal broke. that only exacerbated it, and there's no easy quick fix 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please provide a copy of the (very confidential) settlement document that proves this. You can't and won't. Every dollar that goes in goes to providing a great program for the kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
