chadwick Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Not surprised but so disappointed. Curious if 2020 age outs will get to perform next year, similar to how NCAA is handling seniors for spring sports that had seasons cancel.

It calls out in the article that 2020 age outs get a bonus year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYGO Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Depressing, but the right thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27/soa Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think EVERYONE currently under contract should get a 1-year extension, as my son is not an age-out. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I marched a corps that folded but still had eligibility left. I think the sensible thing to do is extend for those contracted ageouts for whom this was it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepsiTwist Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 6 minutes ago, chadwick said: Curious if 2020 age outs will get to perform next year Since this news is literally hot off the press as of this reply, do we know if there's a plan in place for how to handle this next year? Do they only allow age-outs who were already contracted to march in 2020? What if 100+ 22/23 year olds show up to audition for a corps next year? Is that fair for everyone involved? What if they were a bubble age-out or an age-out who was cut but close to a position and had an extra 9 months to practice/get better? 🤔 Etc. You know where this is going. Forgive the 20 questions. This is my brain on 2 weeks of isolation with my family and I don't even know what day it is. 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cavaliers in their statement said that members contracted for 2020 will have their spots guaranteed for 2021, including 2020 age-outs. I imagine they are not the only ones taking this approach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Sucks but it's the right call. Already made some donations, even if they were small, to some of the corps I have supported before. Lots of great leaders out there that I'm sure will get the activity through this, even though it's gonna be hard. Here's to 2021. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
