This sounds too close to the Goober on another SM site who argued if you are asymptotic then you can’t give Coronavirus to others.

Bill Cook would simply buy the hotel chain and change their operations manual to double profits AND let drum corps stay for free. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents have no power against the teachers unions and lawyers. And I don't believe anyone is send the kids back at all costs...that is media spin. However, there are many who understand the significance of getting our children back to school...minus the indoctrination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Bill Cooke is not around any longer. We need leadership with optimism , drive and passion. I think the major problem is sheer number of available rooms near the performance venue. 6 corps of 100 rooms each is not a room number usually available at a typical "local" show. But, of course, not many local venues can contract every school in the district for corps housing (like we did!) Shorter season + small uptick in member costs = hotel rooms for all. But some may have to drive farther to get to the venue. EDIT: Ummm, rehearsal sites are a bit of a problem... EDIT2: And the dearth of available rooms in a venue city will likely require more than one national contract which, of course, would reduce the negotiating power of the whole tour.

I don't think the post said that. 2 things why name call and also if someone holds a different opinion you are then done? You are a "DINO" correct? I thought they had thicker skin. 4 minutes ago, garfield said: But, are 17 -22 year olds considered "high risk"? Now that they have bell covers and all...

There are numbers on this but obviously the DCP is not the place to get into statistics about the corona virus. Drum Lines have been slobbering since they formed up. I had this affliction along with the dut dut dut one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
