It’s a good read of what life in the tenor line was like back then. Thank you for correcting me....my eyesight is not what it used to be so when I enlarged the image I could only see his SCVC patches and dates were murky. JW was close to a GR having marched under him in their dominant years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to talk to him you might as well go right up to him so you could hear him (that quiet). Met his dad a few times and both great examples of “gentlemen”. IOW polar opposite of what the vid showed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Any idea how this guy was hired by SCV. Looking at his list of jobs and nothing I see says experience with the drum corps world, touring group or dealing with an organization with an annual budget as high as SCV.

But it could be as simple as a combination of the right timing and a good interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are examples where people hired from outside did an amazing job. I.e. Alan Mullaly at Ford. He had no automotive experience (was from Boeing) and he helped that company steer through one of the biggest financial hardships in it's history. I think the difference with him was the fact that he had exceptional management skills. He listened to people and had a knack for cutting through crap to get to the center of an issue. He also developed a huge loyalty because he treated people were respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
