They could create their own circuit free from the baggage that comes along with anything Hopkins ever touched. I mean, really - why would Bain want a high school band circuit founded and operated by an "allegedly" aggressive sexual predator? Maybe I'll be proven wrong on this, and someone will pay YEA half a million or more for an asset whose book value, based on recent performance, is likely fairly small. But I'm not holding my breath on that one. Edited February 11, 2020 by Slingerland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart of Boston to try though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart of Boston to try though! Maybe The Cadets go into the Inspire family and continue as a training ground for the Crusaders! The irony of such a scenario. You never KNOW what may or may not happen. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either possibility exist USB will not be sold. They will be a program of YEA. I look forward to a strong USB focused on being a service organization for band directors and music educators in the region free from the stigma of being a piggy bank for the Cadets and related baggage.

Why go thru all the startup effort and question marks because of past history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
