Overheard in the stands during said show: "I can't pronounce the name of this show." "35 pages into the drill and I still don't see how this all comes together at the the end." "I can't wait till they add the matching end-tables at the end of the season." "That drill in the upper right hand corner has become too tight and it's caused a crack." "Is it me or is there a part missing in the show?" "I thought this show would be quick, but it seems like it's never ending." "Why does everyone stand in the aisles during the show?" Presenting their 2020 program, "Flat pack...where's the &^#%ing Allen wrench?" Drum Corps International is proud to present....the Blue Stars! hey...it's a logical sequel to the Carpenter's show... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is a pattern of behavior by the corps administration that cannot be ignored. Oh please. Don't make me laugh. A "pattern"? Yea, a pattern by people who gambled their fortunes and reputations to take control and lead a troubled org out of the tyranny of a single person, keep the ship afloat and pointed in "The Cadets" direction, and prevent it from not only going completely under, but also keeping the mountainous challenge from significantly affecting the member experience. Tragic, I know. Whatever your ulterior motive is, it's showing with silly claims like that. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person paints a picture in order to make money via a lawsuit and it is a "pattern" on the part of the Cadets admin??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance for President! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone drawing a conclusion of patterns from this is starting with a conclusion in search of a premise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exitmusic Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 This is one of the dumbest threads in DCP history. The guy fell down and was injured. He feels inadequately compensated. He sues. The insurance companies do their thing. A settlement is reached. The public never hears about it again. No, this won't cause YEA's premiums to rise in any meaningful way. No, this doesn't show a "pattern" of safety issues. No, you can't assume that the plaintiff's version of the facts is true. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
