I highly recommend it in general as it also relates to Varsity and their involvement with Cheerleading, and is a cautionary tale for DCI … but that is a side issue, though worth exploring. My main point is watch, if nothing else, season 2, episode 5. It very much relates to DCI’s and SoA’s situations (although I acknowledge it isn’t a perfect analogy). Tricia N. figures prominently in this as well. Talk about pageantry leaches …. My God, this is hard to watch. Call me an old lady and send me to hell but this is way too dangerous. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carried tubs around a field for countless hours but I never had someone throw me into the air and expected them to catch me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most exercise I ever got outside of blocks was trying to wander around a find a place to hide so I could smoke LOL. I don't get the whole competitive cheer thing. It's too dangerous for my blood. And for what payoff...a spot in a college cheer program? I am not bashing the participants by any means, but the trade off seems a little skewed to me. That being said, people could say the same thing about modern drum corps with props and tarps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not all agree on everything on this forum all the time. But I can tell you, we do all believe in protecting members, volunteers and staff. It's like an extended corps family...but a bit more grumpy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Continental Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 This makes me incredibly sad. The history of this corps now reduced to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
