With all due respect, I have to agree. He was just passing along what he/she saw yesterday. Jim and I went today. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) I can see where there are many questions here that are posed in an "assuming the negative" tone, whether intended to or not. It seems like your report would have more credibility if you approached a Cadets staff member during, after, or since the camp so this was a report rather than your leading speculations. Meant to include quote from lifeisaround. Edited February 17, 2020 by fifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to include quote from lifeisaround. What makes you believe a Cadets staff member would be forthcoming, and what makes you believe there are leading speculations? So before you question anyone’s credibility, let’s start with yours. Were you there! If so did you see and talk to either lifeisaround or Terri and her husband? If not then the only credible sources would be them. Edited February 17, 2020 by Poppycock 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirming: the #1 reason people say they do not give, "I was not asked." (Indirect communication -- brochures, e-mail, et al -- are simply that: indirect communication. They are not "asks.") to be honest, a lot of people got so innundated by YEA requests, they tuned them out or did all they could to get off their various lists 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then the only credible sources would be them. If they were there, would it matter? Every time @dans comes on here with some positive information from the camps, so many people want to question what he/she saw. But now, people are willing to defend a negative review of a (satellite) camp because that person was there. Essentially, these are all opinions. But I am willing to listen to the opinions of those who were there, regardless of whether it is negative or positive. That's what drum corps is.

It. Was. A. Camp. It wasn't a full corps spring training. It's auditions for prospective members. How hard is that? Did anyone expect they'd fill the corps from FL? I'm sure they didn't.
