We built a smart house down here and everything is wireless. sorry OT. Carry on. Well, I built my smart house 20 years ago and it's completely wired. Because wired is ALWAYS better. That being said, if you aren't using Ubiquiti wireless access points you are missing the boat. I have at least 20 devices working on these and they are great.

To clarify…I was referring to the posters here who are calling for the demise of DCI. As for marching members, these are young college age men and women. They are old enough to know and walk away from inappropriate/ inexcusable behavior from staff (stranger danger). If they feel they aren’t being treated properly…leave the situation immediately and seek assistance, legal, if need warrants. But to ride out the season and then months afterward go public…..that’s where I question the accuser. To repeat, I don’t condone the alleged behavior but I do question the reaction here without knowing all the facts…from all sides of the story. THIS is exactly the attitude that allows this type of stuff to continue ad infinitum, and not just in Drum Corps but in society as a whole. It isn't your job to question an accuser. It's your job to listen to and to treat as credible any accusation that's made, no matter how long after the incident occurred that it is made public. The people who are making these accusations are often unable to do so in the moment due to fear of immediate reprisal from leadership, the accused, whomever. How you can't understand this, at this point in time, is beyond me. The whole "both sides" thing belongs in a court of law, not in the court of social media. You don't get to "question the accuser," unless you're a defense attorney. Especially when, like in this case, the events in question were confirmed to have happened by the organization itself. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may sell them. but in your apologist posting, you miss the actual point.....probation is lip service. Fine the #### out of a corps that screws up. Withhold tour revenue. Lord knows DCI could afford to have some cash in the corporate reserves, because someday, a lawyers gonna come knocking, and it'll cost a lot more than settling with Tresona did. This may already be in happening. As someone else pointed out, the SoA accusations are organized in a manner that could be used in a lawsuit; her parents are obviously performing due diligence following up with Alabama law enforcement (2 jurisdictions). The OP's actions are far more than just a p*ssed off parent yelling at a Corps director. I suspect there are lawyers at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutasaurus Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) 10 hours ago, Brian Tuma said: To reiterate, the case that came to light involved an out of control rookie talent night that took place on a bus. How does one just “walk away” from a situation like that? That person leaves tour and reports said incident to the authorities. Mms are sent home from tour all the time for various reasons. Have a nice summer everyone. It’s been an interesting discussion but one I’m afraid won’t move the needle as far as DCI is concerned.

The OP's actions are far more than just a p*ssed off parent yelling at a Corps director. I suspect there are lawyers at work. My thoughts on lawyer involvement: when the original accusations were posted, lawyers were probably not yet involved. The victim may have had assistance with writing the complaints which has nothing to do with credibility as much as support and assuring clarity, but I don’t think a lawyer was involved. I think most lawyers would not recommend posting an accusation on Facebook to be picked up by DCP and Reddit as well as other FB durum corps pages and be debated thoroughly by drum corps fans. DA’s find prosecuting cases difficult when the media is involved and social media makes matters worse. Often it is a victim’s lawyer who makes public statements not the actual victim and that’s across the board no matter what the crime. It’s defense lawyers who love the “court of public opinion. As far as Spirit is concerned, I think their silence is a sign lawyers are involved. That being said, one thing that baffles me a bit is why Spirit as of last night still had its FB page open. Common sense would be to close the page, even if it is temporary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
