Baller move would be for the SCV vets to go over there en masse. I doubted when I just heard that Troopers had over 120 for just drums at their camp this last weekend. Over 60 of those just for snare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stings 'cause it strikes true to this ole bat. Ultimately if this move keeps MMs safer, then so be it. Fix it, VMAPA, all of it. I'm hoping the changeover in the CFO role has something to do with this and wish Ms. Bauman godspeed. Food for thought below regarding our friends across the bay: It angered me to make the comment as a huge fan and donor to SCV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Pirtle Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 So sad for SCV. So where are all these players going? How will this affect auditions at the other corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Drum corps is just too expensive. Need to reduce costs. Stop hauling around a semi-trailer full of props and buying new unis every year. I have said for years that drum corps must regionalize to reduce costs. The problem is there just aren't enough drum corps left and I am afraid it will get worse. I mean SCV went inactive??? Really??? Wow. Sad. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's devastated. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GetOFFmyDot Posted December 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2022 While the “arms race” of props, new uniforms each year, new instruments, etc… is a contributing factor to rising costs, i think we really need to explore an area of exploding costs: STAFF. Designers, consultants, advisors, and (in some sections) more techs then MMs. it has to be curtailed. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldn't seem baller to kids who had set Troopers as their target long ago and are weeks away from getting contracts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize those folks are not present at all times and rotate shifts on tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did he call them? 🤔 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t they fly them in and out? Airfare is expensive now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
