TheOneWhoKnows Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 It's hard to get people to do this, but I've just donated a little what I could with this announcement. It won't save them this year, but turning out back on them now won't help later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutasaurus Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 My heart breaks for the Cadet org. This makes me really sad for the state of the art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
year1buick Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 This is such depressing news. Hopefully they can bounce back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gantang Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Remember how Hoppy pushed to add members, amplification, non-traditional instruments, voice, and props galore? The cost to field a corps...and to march...is exorbitant. IF they're doing this because of $, they can blame Hoppy for a second black eye. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Sad. I wish this was a wakeup call to the activity to start scaling it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenHut Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Holy crap. Sad. I've said it for years, the current drum corps model isn't sustainable. Not sure what the answer is, but this sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true and it escalated under him but before that, when he was still marching, DCI was “encouraging” corps to make trips to places like Denver and Texas that they were ill-equipped to do so. You haven’t lived until you’ve toured in Texas on a school bus. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
