Her participation in the activity has nothing to do with this. She has nothing to do with this. I don’t think he was saying anything bad about her.

Time and education will eliminate most of them soon, but not soon enough. I know nothing about the legality of trying to ban anybody from an event who isn't a registered offender. Seems like this particular individual would probably welcome it in order to initiate litigation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a tea party on DCP discussing how awful of a man he is isn’t accomplishing anything My bad; I thought this was a forum for everything related to drum corps. Specifically, I thought this was the "DCI World Class Corps Discussions" category. The topic seems to fit this category. (But, I could be wrong.) If deemed inappropriate, then I'm sure the moderators can & will remove the topic. But there isn't anyone requiring anyone to read the topic & replies. I just thought it was an important discussion. (My reply is written with a smile.) 😁 Edited July 25, 2022 by keystone3ply cx 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one individual in the article who was convicted, went to prison, and is a lifetime registered sex offender who was still allowed to participate in the activity. He performed with the Jim Ott Brass Ensemble at the DCI Hall of Fame ceremony in 2015. I was there and saw it with my own eyes. 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subject of this topic posted on his social media that he was visiting his daughter. I think family is important & personally, I think the subject should visit his daughter. But I also think there are consequences to ones actions which leads me to the questions, should he be allowed to attend DCI events & should he be allowed to have an active role in DCI in some form?

That arrangement makes me super uncomfortable. Ugh. Back the truck up, excuse me what? 😠 Willing to inbox this if it's better. I thought I was up on all of this but clearly I'm not.
