"More to the story" as far as some of this departures with the big upheaval April/May 2018 not all the changes were going to work - there were a couple folks clearly over their heads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not necessarily. It means they are making hard decisions to possibly stop bleeding << and/or >> head off troubles they see coming. Many of those decisions, I'm sure, are STILL plugging holes and catching up from years of running on a blade's edge. It's not the precipice, but that's not to say it's going to be easy, or the same Cadets as in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think this is likely the pre-trickle of several pieces of news to come. If I were them (I'm not, of course) I'd get it ALL out there now that the flow has started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Schultz, but I've just not gotten the impression that this is a realistic option for them at this time. Ask any fan with their noses not in the clouds of recent winners, and we'll all answer that drum corps life is pretty sweet down ranks outside Saturday night performers. There are a LOT of spaces to land before considering OC. Lots of shows are run on half a fraction of the budget and extravagance of the top three or five. you know, "The Draw".
