Could be they're going to announce that they paid all their staff and suppliers for last year. One can hope, right? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can hope, right? I think they'll be too busy trying to pay off renting AT&T Stadium in Dallas for a band show today (a Monday and national holiday??) with only 16 bands in attendance. Probably not the wisest move for an organization trying to get back on track financially IMO. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This corps has been through hell lately. Enough with the innuendos. My apologies, I didn't have much to go on at the time other than "keep an ear out." Since then, my source divulged that this info does NOT have as much of an impact on the 2020 edition of The Cadets directly, but certainly has potentially big ramifications both long and short term for various YEA programs. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their band program floats the Cadets, if it suffers, The Cadets have to charge roughly double or scale the program way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell USBands and refocus on the functional center of the YEA! universe. If what you say is true, and no doubt it is, it's reasonable to presume that all of YEA!'s programs suffer from bloat and self-importance without concomitant revenue or operational efficiency. I wouldn't be surprised if the BoD decides it's time to streamline to save the biggest component of the org. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
