I would expect so, but I've already provided the complaints to them directly. I'd submit a complaint to the state, and then give DCI a copy as well. DCI has way more context than anyone here, and actually more than SCV. I stopped including them on copies of my complaints back in January. The data I use is all public information anyway. They have access to as much of it as I do. Why should I hold them by the hand anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have an axe to grind. You are right. And I will continue to grind said axe, as these self-proclaimed "elite" corps continue to be hoisted by their own petards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the remaining two I think I got it wrong, and now I correct my assertation. I of course should probably just not out that person yet. When I do, I will be certain and have proof. This is gross. You've reduced your legitimacy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of us remembered conversations last summer about Spirit not fielding a corps in 2022 but very little was said about SVC’s absence this past year. Other than who would fill the spot left vacant by SCV, and some talk about Mandarins benefiting from their hiatus, something Mandarins folks didn’t wholeheartedly endorse, I heard next to nothing and my friend who is more on top what’s happening said the same. Personally I at least expected talk about where SCV might have potentially placed, whether they’d come roaring back in 2024, or maybe staff movement if there is not to be a 2024. I’d love to see SCV return, but as others have said, it’s unlikely. I’m also not sure you’d see SCV regain its status if it did return. I personally don’t see any of the top 4 of 2023 who were also the top 4 in 2022 losing ground next year. Mandarins has real momentum, Cadets and Phantom have great potential, Cavies has probably learned a thing or two, Troopers and Colts have fire in their bellies. I just don’t see SCV getting its act together for next year, I don’t expect an immediate return to the top 5, and the longer they are away, the less of a destination corps they will be. I would love to be proven wrong. I didn’t expect Spirit to Cascades to return, and am more than happy to admit I was wrong, but while SCV has a much richer legacy than most corps, it also has huge problems that may not be able to be solved, and this thread is reinforcing my doubts about an SCV return. You know, it was interesting the lack of talk about SCV not being there at finals. No one really mentioned it. Now I don’t know if that’s just because everyone assumed they’d be back, as if the situation wasn’t as bad as Spirits or maybe it was the fact that this was just such an amazing year for DCI top to bottom it was almost easy to forget they weren’t there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he’s provided too much factual documentation and dug up the crap to lose legitimacy. If DSpruce wants to play with fire and get burnt, that’s on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzEuph Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 @Richard Lesher, I’m genuinely curious: what’s your preferable end result? Are you trying to get back on board, get current board terminated, become director, destroy VMAPA? I genuinely can’t tell and have been curious all of these past 9 months. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMAPA has done a good job destroying itself if we're being completely honest here. 15 minutes ago, TheOneWhoKnows said: I mean honestly at the rate it’s going VMAPA gots to go.
