And then went to SCV and said the same thing. A legend like that isn't allowed to just leave the activity. Where's the petition? lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not go to another. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they scrub him? Hiring people with no background in drum corps to run drum corps organizations has a lousy track record. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked with one green corps. Why not go to another. Or just go back to the Cavaliers. Hand him the whole kit and kaboodle this time. I’ve said before that every show he designed for SCV could’ve been designed for the Cavaliers. Yes, including Babylon.

I doubt Gaines writes for DCI anymore, I only foresee WGI for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transition to a new Executive Director and new Corps Directors (after the 2024 season) has been in the planning stage for two years. It is clearly amicable and well thought out. A tremendous job has been done by both of these fine gentlemen (Monte Mast and Dr. Michael Vaugh). The Board of Directors also just elected new leadership roles, as has been planned for the last several years preparing for succession. They will now get to guide the selection and onboarding of their two new main executive staff members. And, the new ED and corps director will certainly be brought on with ample time to assimilate during the 2024 season so as to know the culture and be prepared for season-ending decision making responsibilities for the 2025 season. Proud to know all of these fine people, including the just exiting board president, Chris Hartowicz, who oversaw and shepherded the organization through some difficult, though publicly quiet challenges, with the help of many excellent partners. This, IMHO (with 40 years of non-profit management, fundraising, and board development professional background) is how transition and excellence can go hand in hand. Thanks to all involved for loving my corps as much as I do. Splooie! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more and excited to see the new on boarding two key leaders... Thank you for the post and clarification !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
