I want every single person involved in the act and/or the cover up to be permanently banned from the activity. I don’t care how big the name. This **** is NOT ok and it needs to stop YESTERDAY or the activity we all love will die a painful death. It IS dead. From a moral standpoint. From the standpoint as serving as a vehicle to lift UP young adults. It is dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former SoA that started the current discussions marched in 2021. Yes, it's pretty clear that last year was a total #### show from a safety perspective. Just thinking out loud about competition aspect of the activity and how that is fueling the issues were seeing. Honestly, this is all so upsetting that I'm ready to jump into "the burn it down" camp.

IllianaLancerContra Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Opinion requested - do people think DCI Office & individual Corps are reading these threads on DCP & Reddit? Not ‘will they do anything’ - just are they aware of what is happening here (& on Reddit)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PricklyPear Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Its easy to become angry and upset at these horrible things that are coming out. I know I am. But let's keep in mind that there are corps (the great majority, I believe) that are clean and healthy, that do serve the community as intended.

Terri Schehr Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Going forward…don’t report anything to the drum corps or DCI. Call 911 and get the authorities involved. I know of no other way to say it: these people aren’t to be trusted with your well-being. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re probably laughing at us and saying that we’re overreacting and that they’ll wait it out because drum corps people have the memory retention skills of a gnat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK how you define majority, but since 2018 we have had accusations against: Cadets Pioneer (now inactive) Cavaliers Phantom Crown SoA Crossmen Troopers Blue Devils Mandarins Shadow (inactive in 2022) Battalion Raiders Oregon Crusaders (inactive) Did I forget any? By my math that is 11 of the 42 active Corps listed on DCI.org, or 26%. And these are only the Corps with published allegations. And over 50% (7 of 12) are DCI finalist Corps, including a World Champion.
