They were making fun of the giant sheet that has heads sticking out of it and it looks like the whack a mole game. But I can see how playing the victim is the order of the day with some people. Terry, Terry Terry LMAO! sorry i had to laugh though. "The big giant sheet" ................ Lol. Well i wasn't in much to see those comments. I popped in and out because i was multitasking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a feature where you could just click on a post and ignore the poster from there. I’d like a full on block feature and to easily post photos but I don’t think we’re getting either one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She eventually had to drop out because of it. There is a lot of risk involved in the weapons work, especially as it has gotten more and more difficult over the years. She's not alone. I left mid season from untreated injuries. I couldn't walk unassisted for months afterwards. There's risk in the dang movement vocab these days. I can't wait til corps actually start using choreographers with training in releasing techniques. That's the only viable way I see of reducing risk while maintaining impact. Change the books!

That is unfortunately not up to those who run this forum.

Just ain't worth getting too worked up over. Glad you stayed around, fizzie and hope the others re-consider as well. Yes 100% agree. In jokers voice "why so serious!"

lyndakay27 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I thought playing bass drum would be fairly safe, but my daughter had a concussion at Crown when a prop took her down. She was out for a week. BD lost a contra this year to stress fractures. It’s not easy on our kids’ bodies. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That breaks my heart. The same year I was taken out by preventable injurIES. No star. No refund. No age out. No green feather. Just the corps director belittling me for leaving. (PS, I've already made this public, so this isn't new news.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my kid had to have open heart surgery, the respiratory therapist said he had the lung capacity of a world class athlete. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the staffs have a focus on health, wellness and proper training that we couldn't even dream about years ago (which is why we are all having joint replacements en masse 😂). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
