MikeN Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 My wife got to see a good friend of hers this weekend for the first time since COVID. My kid and their kiddo marched at the same time, and theirs won a title with VC. After hearing the story of this young person's time there, I'm ok if the whole org maybe takes more than a year to return. They've got a lot to work on.

Why we haven't all dropped what we're doing to address reports like this is beyond me. The members are literally the only people that matter. Student, customer, stakeholder. A member experience audit is needed just as much as any financial audit. My anger aside, thank you for sharing @MikeN. I'm humiliated to hear (again) that a recent alum left their season feeling this way. Unacceptable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabMaster Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Curious on how SCV is doing on their road to 2024. Has there been any update on an ED or BOD fix? Is the org clear with the State of Cali AG? How is the non profit status currently? Are the cacophony of issues that have been raised by DCP’rs improved or action taken on?

If I only read Drum Corps Planet I would think SCV was like Lord of the Flies. I casually know one current marching member, a trumpet player whom I met because he works at my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Placenta CA (El Farolito). He's from Orange County, loves SCV, and was really looking forward to this year, which would have been his age-out. I've not seen him since the announcement and I feel awful for him. Yes, its anecdotal but I'm mentioning to perhaps provide a bit of balance.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, it might be the best thing if there isn't a road to 2024. They need a LOT of time to get their #### together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two members, marching right next to each other, can have wholly different experiences. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
