DSpruce Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 They cancelled because they couldn’t realistically hold it without getting into staff updates. It will be held after the Tues after Labor Day because of that rule. Nothing bad caused it. They explained to alumni. Thanks all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the frustration is the continued lack of transparency from VMAPA. Hosting a public meeting and then at the last second cancelling is a bad look and continues to keep information. This rule has been around since 2017, why now do they call this as a reason to cancel the meeting. If it is that critical to the meeting I understand, but they should have made this decision sooner. And if the staff changes are not critical to the meeting than just go "We cannot talk about it because of this DCI rule" Yes that will cause some frustration but they are causing more frustration by cancelling last second. Right now it just looks like VMAPA is putting off making the announcement that they are not fielding and are finding excuses to do it. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please check our website for audition information. Unfortunately due to DCI policies we can’t talk staff at this time until after Labor Day . Thank You for Understanding.” it’s really not that difficult. Edited August 28, 2023 by GREENBLUE 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordering enough purple feathers in bulk for every alum and BOD member takes some time. Maybe thats why they're waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fighterkit Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Just now, GREENBLUE said: I understand the feather of course in regards To SCV, but please forgive my ignorance regarding the acronym and the color purple. Meaning? This was made by an SCVC alum who’s was frustrated by the org making them take 22 off, which then in turn led to the A corps. There’s No Place Like Santa Clara is an acronym the corps uses a lot. The purple feather is something that members would give towards members they did not want to come back to the org for various reasons. This photo was made to signify that VMAPA gave SCVC a purple feather. And now In turn.VMAPA is being given the purple feather 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
