craiga Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Regarding the new Crown director, as I mentioned on the BAC thread a few days ago, I hope he discontinues the boycott of Boston's shows. It would be great to have Crown resume performing at these shows, which are always well attended and sure to give Crown a warm welcome. If they could join BAC, Cadets, Spirit and Music City up here in New England, it would be a true eastern show, imo. In any event, I wish them well with their new director. They are most certainly trading up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coates may say he's retiring, but highly doubtful he won't be heavily involved in decision making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavily involved ? Well if so , that would seem to diminish the authority of the new hire , Joe Roach , as a Corps Director with much authority to put his own stamp on things there at Crown . We have already seen what can occur when Corps Director’s decisions are “ heavily involved “ by others … and it’s not pretty . Hopefully , Joe Roach will be able to assume the same level of decision making powers that he had at Music City … or at least he understands his role and is on board with it as it relates to the “ retiring “Jim Coates if Coates is still to be “ heavily involved “ in the decision making there at Carolina Crown .

I don't understand this. Is he retiring or not? They did just announce a new corps director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe any of the 2022 Crossmen staff is going with Lee to Cadets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great move, GREAT move by Cadets. i saw online that some Cadets alumni were blasting the decisions because of a lack of diversity, but some of those announced posted and said they understood the concerns and it was on their radar to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was the best they could do with how poorly they handled everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
