"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."

bluesman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The Equity part is going to make the auditions part of joining a corps a waste of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum corps these days take anyone with a pulse and ability to follow through with the financial obligation. If you haven't noticed there are holes at EVERY corps in almost every section. Not to sound smug, but maybe there are so many holes because this actually is necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the corps will never know unless they check… But for some reason just checking cheeses some people off… Ironic as thinking of guy I worked with. He felt ok so assumed he didn’t have any problems and never checked. Went to his viewing last week. Edited April 5, 2022 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamRam Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 This thread is hilarious. Let's virtue signal to the "kids" by throwing around some buzz words. That'll fill the holes, lol. Sorry folks. Staff, participants, fans, boosters, social sites, and yes forum admins, years ago killed true diversity in drum corps. The most important diversity, diversity of opinions and ideas, has been shouted down and banned by those who've self anoint themselves as keepers of drum corps morality. But hey, "it's for the kids, so you can ignore the awful outcomes and lack of participation created by our policies and behaviors." 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying “two snaps in a circle” broke her up. Myself… Home Boy Shopping Network.. 🤪😆 Edited April 6, 2022 by JimF-LowBari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
