I’m going with number three because that would be my motivation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then option 4 might come into play: all these years of taking crap from people calling us liars and harassing us. A guilty verdict is to say “look ###### ####### we WERE telling the truth”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2muchcoffeeman Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 My takeaway from the article/blogpost is amazement at how Potemkin drum corps can be -- all fire and glory on the field, and utterly rickety behind the facade: “never slept, never ate, barely rehearsed" -- ninety-eight-point-zero, smh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. I saw Garfield a few times in 1984. Once was at DCI Canada. They lost to Phantom that night. The Regiment was on fire that night so they deserved it, but all the talk was about Garfield because the show was so amazing. They just had a slightly off night. After the show I could see city buses picking up some of the corps and I wondered where the heck were their buses. Many years later I always heard from people how they were constantly having buses fixed and they were stranded on the road quite a bit. The corps was clearly talented and the show was near perfect design, so even with a 7th place percussion score they still manage to win. Just crazy stuff. If someone told you such a story you would say "no way could that corps win." But then you witness the show with your own eyes and realize...yes that show deserved to win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s really all I have to say. In reality, I think that is an accurate sentiment to have. But I didn't feel like that was what the author produced. Especially a brief and dismissive ... Quote Yes, we all know about the allegations and the subsequent firing and court dates. Followed directly by Quote The Cadets became something else. Exactly what, I’m not sure. And then knocking both products that came after GH's departure. I'm not prodding you to continue in response. I have always had a lot of respect for you and wouldn't dare! ❤️😆 Most of the talk in this thread was about "will they return." And I wasn't seeing any other critique of the author's work, so it seemed like a relevant point to chime in.

Subconsciousness at play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
