However, the reported sexual assaults are way beyond “misconduct” and seem to be getting lost in the discussion. (I’d also argue that the term poorly captures the severity of the talent night events as well.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have any power or authority, or is it just a blog? "Rookie talent night is hazing" Huh!? I mean if it's done Caligula-style as what has been alleged at Spirit of Atlanta then yes, but a talent night performed by rookies is not "hazing" unless you don't know the definition of the word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Let’s see… DCI ups maximum number of members. Lingering Covid means less people would want to tour. And more crap like this which would give some people (and their parents) second thoughts on touring. Yeah DCI really needs to sit back with their thumb up their ### ($1 to my blue collar dad) on this. And worst timing on increasing member numbers Edited January 10, 2022 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they helped uncover Troopers stuff. They're becoming more known in the community. MAASIN (Marching Arts Access, Safety & Inclusion Network) is a community-led effort to increase equity and safety in DCI, WGI, DCA, and any ensemble within the purview of the marching arts community including scholastic ensembles. We are entirely volunteer run by concerned and dedicated marching arts community members from a variety of performance and staff backgrounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need a toxic member (allegedly) from another corps infecting their ranks. I’m guessing that happens right away. I doubt there is any benefit to keeping them that remotely justifies the risk and association. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
