Let them operate how they want to operate when they wish to keep their members safe!!! Chris Holland isn't in charge of me. I won't be discharging firearms. I won't be urinating in public. I won't even breathe on them. I will be respectful, unobtrusive and distant. And I will know that he and the other corps directors don't run the world. I'll tell you something else. There will be plenty of us watching. (Among those who won't be there will be the many people here on DCP who don't come to shows anyway.) Don't worry. All will be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about this as a shady, out of touch “Chris Holland directive” from on high is again, quite childish. I would imagine that you would be an unobtrusive individual in circumstances where the corps would allow the public to be there, but right now, that is clearly not the case. Think of it more as a PSA, and leave it at that. They want closed rehearsals, they have let the public know this, let them operate as such, it’s not hard.

Tony Flores Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I just do not understand the selfishness here, they are asking you not to interact, maybe next year conditions will be better...go to your seat and support the other corps in competition. Trust me the smaller guys would like some love as well. Its not about you, its about the kids, the performers. These kids have worked too hard to get to this point. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scheherazadesghost Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The reason this is happening is because the logic is sound. These folks keep saying they'll keep their distance or wear a mask. The science says it's incredibly difficult to spread this virus with those two conditions met while outdoors. I get it. But they've been asked to stay away. When two or more people go against the corps explicit directives, it's really easy to start to "creep up" on the MMs. I've watched it happen for years. Onlookers can't help themselves in a crowd. Closer is better. And hell, when not in a pandemic, MMs love a crowd. But still any person avoiding this directive is contributing to the creep. Period. And that's not okay. Wish I could enlist some old school JONZ as bodyguards. That'd work real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
