Although it is fun to see all the speculation on here and Facebook. Also, while I'm here: Drum Corps’ Leadership and Design Team Returns Many thanks Mr. Cawthorne.

SJugster Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 No comment on Perc leadership. Reading between the lines does that mean that they didn't cut Perc leadership or they are waiting to see if they have a better option before announcing anything?

Hamburgler Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I’m curious how members feel about Dwight. My understanding is he was the least favorite among the brothers last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard the same if not worse things about him, and that it could be a catalyst for members not returning, which really begs the question whether it was a good move to bring him back if even veterans don’t return because of one guy.

Take it with a grain of salt if you want, I'm close with some members who have marched this past summer.

totaleefree Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I am surprised that Dwight was announced. Last time I spoke with him he couldn't wait for the season to be over and to get a new director and I think he said several people who would make a good director. I am not sure if it was this thread or staff changes that I said PR had wanted him to stay but he had a life outside of corps. Jay is the more personaable Brother and the better speaker. He said that Dwight made all the tough decisions so the kids probably saw him making those choices. Dwight was sick at the end of the seasons and was a little grumpy, which the kids probably saw too. The announcement said he would be running the tour, so it seems this is not a full time position for him. Maybe it is a cost saving thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Unfortunately, the corps has a history of hiring or retaining people from within regardless of the potential impact. To be fair, they have also tried going outside with mixed results. However, an end of season survey of corps members might have shed some light on unknown issues that could have been taken into account prior to any hirings or appointments. Just my 2 cents! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
