Considering the corps themselves would have to vote on it that should be an interesting breakdown of votes A "misdemeanor" conviction like what H pled to is on the same scale as public intoxication or maybe the level of drunk driving.. He could become CEO of DCI with what he pled No Contest to. Not that DCI would vote to do that! LOL 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GH was removed from the DCI Hall of Fame on September 26, 2018. With the "misdemeanor" conviction & not the "felony" conviction, would there be any consideration given to him being reinstated to the HOF? I'm sure there would be much outrage & protest from the drums corps community. Edited September 27, 2020 by keystone3ply cx 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GH is singled out and banned or thrown out but not anyone else.

HOF is based on the criteria of accomplishments to the activity and not on minor misdemeanors or misdeeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does GH have that deep pockets? He's already had 2 years of criminal attorney fees. Plus the fees associated with the 2 YEA/Cadets lawsuits (first one over retirement & accrued vacation $, which was settled; Current one re termination). Unless the goal is to bring YEA/Cadets/DCI & whatever else he can down with him. But that will still require $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'm wrong and much too lazy to search, but were some of your earlier posts somewhat in support of GH? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
