Phantom continues to believe that they can succeed by reliving the past. What they need is a young gun (male or female) to push the corps forward. She is not going to be the director, I think that Corps manager was a title created just to keep her on staff. Last year she was special advisor to the director.

OldSnareDrummer Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Sounds like there are some beefs on this choice. What's so awful about this person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a long, long, loooong history of scoring Phantom's guard below both other corps and what other judges would do in the same season. So much so that there has been public discussions (not from the corps, but from fans) about judging panel lineups at finals directly affecting their placement over the years.

Terri Schehr Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 She was guard instructor when I was in Norwood Park in 72 and 73. She was Marie Kas back then. Her brother Frank was corps director. I was in the brassline so I didn’t have much contact with her. I was 14 when she was teaching. I personally wouldn’t want any of this hassle now or especially not in my 70’s. God bless her, though. She always seemed very nice to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Same with the Cadets guard in the late 90's. When she was judging, we knew we were 2nd behind BD while every other judge had us 1st, always. One regional in 98 she placed us 5th and behind the Glassmen, which she awarded best guard to - I remember at retreat SCV members looking over at us like WTF just happened. We always thought April had ###### her off at some point by yelling at her... who knows. If I'm not mistaken, she was the first to score BD guard, with ticks, drops, etc. perfect 10's at finals. My point is there has always been bias with her judging. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
