If DCI is really trying to ascertain if YEA still operates the Cadets, might I suggest DCI call Denis Bonfiglio. I'm pretty sure she will answer the call! The conversation has been above her pay grade in their organization. She is (and should be) focused on the drum corps, not the board room situation for YEA. Others in YEA have been the ones DCI is talking to. Edited January 17, 2020 by Slingerland 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The drum corps / other groups could be peeled off if need be (if USB etc were sold or dissolved) at least that's the way I would picture it... Doug Rutherford has been VERY quiet after his normally quarterly updates he was providing (BOD) - so I'd think SOMETHING is up.

rpbobcat 351 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) I'm a cynic,so forgive me. Seems to me,the fact that its this difficult to find out if YEA operates the Cadets,should set off a whole bunch of red flags. Just from the posts on DCP I would also think that YEA is aware of the questions. Shouldn't be anything stopping them from contacting DCI and giving them the answer.

But I can't wait for the "Bocook book". (See what I did?) #VintageCadets 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All corps with a new 501C3 need to start in Open Class or Soundsport. Rule created so that World Class corps can't shirk financial responsibilities by re-inventing themselves as a new entity. More likely Varsity absorbs the entire entity or some big money alum "come to the rescue" once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
