There are basic facts we don't know, and others we only know because of social media posts or from statements by the corps. And in general, drum corps reporting is terrible. I don't mean that as disparagement of the work of any of the part-time or amateur journalists who work for Drum Corps World. I mean that, as I described generally, there's far too little of it. If a high school sports team fired an assistant coach following allegations of mistreatment, or let go another coach with a terse, foreboding statement, the local paper would cover it. Or at least that's how things used to be. The Mandarins have many more players than your average high school sports team.

No, I’m pretty sure it was NE who pointed out in the Mandarins’ announcement included a single reference to some information from 2018 (at Mandarins) the was possibly corroborative of their decision to end the relationship with the staff member. If it was someone else, my apology, but the issue itself is true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E3D Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 57 minutes ago, MikeD said: However, I would guess that the Mandarins have few members local to their home location of Sacramento, the same as most WC corps. There is not as much community interest for local newspapers to cover things drum corps related on a general basis as there is covering sports teams based in their community, made up of students from their community, as part of covering the local school system happenings. It takes something as big as the GH stuff to bring in the news media. Who is this GH you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are wasting a lot of other people's time who are trying to find the actual topic info, with this nonsense. If someone can't find that information by the time they reach page 30 of this thread, then that's on them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
