Lots of handwaving and pretending things don't exist because it tarnishes their image. At some point in the last 30 years, the idea of being SEEN as classy and above reproach became more important than actually being classy and morally upstanding. Maybe it changed when a director was fired for (allegedly) sleeping with male members. Maybe when JW was fired months after winning a championships and they tried to spin it as just an administrative realignment. Maybe it started as soon as GR died, but at some point the fantasy became more important than accountability. Bingo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m about 25-30% confidant that they field; and if they do, I fear that it will be at the cost of establishing a firm financial position for 2025 and beyond.

I actually googled a bit to see just what you can bet on in Vegas; Drum Corps is likely too much a niche activity. Most of the small sports you can bet on (i.e., cricket, greyhound racing, etc) are actually big in other parts of the world and that is where the sports books make their money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they're pulling a Producers, I assume the org puts their percentage much higher. They have said the are backup plans for the backup plans to ensure so. I think they'll advance no matter what shortof a cease and desist order. And the majority of alum and potential members are banking on it. That pride thing is a helluva drug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once bet on how many times a frog would ribbit in a one minute span in Vegas. You can bet on anything according to Uncle Eddie in Vegas Vacation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
