And telling people they don’t know the facts. As I said before, I hope this is the minority view among their alumni. It's the minority. But the minority seems to be exceptionally vocal in this case and generally so over the top, their posts get a lot of attention. Very unfortunate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it’s already in the process of being done. yup. i wouldn't be surprised. we have said on here for the last 20 years how many times DCI ( and the corps) have handled things in a #### poor reactive way? and it seems like every time the stakes get bigger.

She has had back issues ever since. 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. That’s what every outsider says when I tell them what drum corps does to knees and hips. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Right!? Who thought it was a good idea to mark-time knee-high in black leather dress shoes and English riding boots? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep saying that and I’m sure being fair-minded people, we’ll all listen to their facts. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cixelsyd Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 So does probation give Spirit a clean slate? Or if it turns out they did something else in 2021 that is a clear violation of DCI code of conduct/ethics, would that demand further action? Asking for a friend.

Of course she wants people who disagree to say everything they know. And if they don’t then that “proves” she’s right. Looks like she had a long meaningless argument overnight with someone. Can’t believe these people don’t realize how bad they make the corps and alumni look by doing this. If I was an alumni I’d be making sure that others know they don’t represent us.

My back has been toast for what...30 years now? My right hip comes out of socket probably 3 or 4 times a year. But when I was in it, I never gave it a second thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
