I reclarified my thoughts, but still believe the new percussion team COULD be better long term with the other incoming additions as have been discussed on here. IMHO of course. I did not mean to quote you. And yes - even a great percussion team/caption can be improved upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go for a walk and get some fresh air. In the grand scheme of things, this is only marching band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatzzz Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm just shocked that Cadet fans are at the center of drama here on DCP. Anyone else shocked? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dbc03 Posted August 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2019 1 hour ago, keystone3ply said: Well, after the Cadets performance at the Zionsville show in June, some guy behind me said "I'm almost ready for a 'not guilty' verdict to bring back the old director". After viewing their production several times this season, I "almost" agree with him. ("Almost" with a strictly selfish motivation for their past productions with Jay Bocook arrangements.) The percussion were outstanding and the only reason I didn't go to the restroom. Nothing against the student members, but the "frankenstein" production at the end of the season was just hard to enjoy. I'd rather the corps shut down rather than bringing a rapist back for the sake of competition. 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A bit of caution on “Dream Team” staffs: assembling a perfect or nearly perfect staff will only work if the leadership is solid and everyone is working towards the same goal. There are so many factors that can be at play. Big names can have big egos that clash. Big names can have the occasional idea that does not work as expected. Over the years there are posts that a big name is going to a corps and all that corps’ problems would be solved, and it hasn’t happened. The focus should be on the right people, who may be big names, but could also include lesser known people and perhaps some new blood being given a chance. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very true.New blood is also good with guidance. Another issue just like with slapping a name on announcements is hiring someone merely because the marched somewhere doesn't mean they can teach. Also sometimes some staff or the so-called plan or loyalty is only till the next best thing comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
