Tim K Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 3 hours ago, Jeff Ream said: however as i pointed out a few pages ago, it seems there were things the lawyers could have done that may have made the end result better for the corps but didn't, mostly because they weren't experts in this field I’m not a lawyer, and no I’ve never played one on TV, but I’m thinking the right lawyer could have some of the bankruptcy judge’s rulings overturned. The wrong lawyer could also have them etched in stone. For one thing, Cadets is such a generic name in drum corps, just look on DCX and you see tons of corps named Cadets, and maroon and gold uniforms are not trademarked. I could see where FHNSAB, Holy Name or Garfield attached could be too close to the original, and I could see where people associated with Cadets beginning a new corps with the same name would be problematic, but there could be room for compromise, namely if alums not associated with the corps in an official capacity wanted to restart it. The question for me is would it be the same or has too much water passed under the bridge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question for me is would it be the same or has too much water passed under the bridge? well, the fact it wasn't a corps sponsored function would have been an area i'd have gone after. also, if true, that the victim has a history of filing these lawsuits yet has had no victories, then there's a pattern and motive there. again, i don't condone what happened to the victim, nor do i condone the victim not being removed from staff, even in the rules or lack thereof in 1982. but with someone that specializes in this type of legal situation, i'm thinking the right lawyer makes a difference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, all that matters is whether lawyers will name the new corps as a defendant in a civil suit, rightly or wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Hall Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'll play!!! Terri makes common sense statements! I think every member might need to be checked. As in the past, some members have had issues with sex abuse. If you go back decades you'll find out it happened a lot in this activity. No one said things back in the 70's. By this time DCI should protect themselves and the activity from pedophiles and others. It's not the 70's, it's 2024 and we have seen the evil things that have happened in drum corps and the directors of each corps (along with their BOD) should clean up ALL of our activity. I won't recommend a student to march with any corps. Today the staff's are so large, any creep could hide amongst the rest. Who watches them? Who notices a staff member getting to friendly with a corps member? No security, NO safety! If I had children old enough to march I would say NO today! Terri makes valid statements and probably based on knowledge as she marched in some pretty good corps!

First of all, you haven't gotten a response and you are jumping,ping to a huge conclusion here Alumni groups are ALL ADULTS. Soundsport groups DO background check staff, but the participants are all KIDS. DCI doesn't;t background check the performers either because they are kids. They all complete safesport. What else do you expect DCI to do? Do you have anything to do all day rather than stir up drama here? And what does any of your post have to do with the cadets bakruptcy. Why do you insist on turning every thread into a "DCI isn't doing enough and doesn[t care". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you posted it looks like it came from Terri. It’s not attributed to the original poster. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why the whole country is losing their minds over this thing. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land_Surfer Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It’s likely that even if it could be fought and dismissed, it’s going to be a total drain on finances. Best to completely: fold, distance, re-group, plan and start completely over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
