It can and should be amended to ask if the member has been disciplined or credibly accused of physical or sexual assault while with the previous organization. Falsifying the info would be cause for revoking the contract, and if a corps director at a previous corps was complicit in downplaying or falsifying info, it should be cause for a ban from the activity. The corps, through DCI, need to get serious about this. None of it's hard, it's all common sense. No excuses. This isn't entirely true. Policy 510 states that after June 1st, all members who want to move from one body to another have to do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Policy 321 allows for Dan to take unilateral action on his own. If Spirit does not clean up their act, he can in fact punish them severely. Pioneer was placed on probation and one of the stipulations of that probation was Roman Blenski having no decision making authority and for him to step down from the board. He refused, and Dan enacted policy 321 and for all intents and purposes gave Pioneer the death penalty. Unless I am wrong, in theory, Pioneer COULD in fact petition for reinstated DCI membership if they enacted the requirements of the probation set down by DCI. They just didn't. There is a chance that the prohibition is already a result of Policy 321. The wording is very vague like someone has mentioned, and considering how sudden there statements was, this could totally be the case. However I personally think that the Corp can be punished far more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get a copy of there report, and make sure you have evidence of n whether or not they consulted you with the punishment of spirit. If the CEO of drum Corp international did infact enact policy 321, then there might be little you can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Varsity would have the intestinal fortitude to actually penalize or disqualify a Corps that allows members to be repeatedly assaulted. except Varsity has had their own challenges with this same type of situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that alone is enough reason to shut down SoA. IIRC there is an open class Corps in WI (my bad I don't recall name) that cancelled 2022 over lesser accusations Shadow. look where their director is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
