Hang tight, Jeff. Keith Hall did a poor job on the quote. Those were not his words. They were posted by someone responding to Terri. Keith quoted Terri but accidentally included the words below hers. I knew something was off because Keith appeared to be contradicting himself….until I went back several pages, found the post he quoted, and realized those were not his words. 😵💫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to avoid any possible misunderstanding, when I said Blue Devils were "taking over" USBands, I understood that to be a legal, consenting arrangement that was announced publicly... not a hostile takeover.

I posted it for factual accuracy for all to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was more a dumpster fire sale. And based on all I have seen and heard no one could confuse how it’s run now with under YEA.

I was 14, 15, and 16 when I marched Sac. My Birthday was in July. I had a sexual relationship with a person who was 20 when I was 15. It was a secret thing that happened a few times. It did not last past the summer. I wanted this relationship, and I do not feel I was groomed. I have had a few conversations with this person. They were very worried that I had lasting damage or felt some kind of way. I only felt like it was a wonderful time that I do not regret. I do not think the same thing would happen now. There are not a lot of 14- and 15-year-olds marching in the top 12. Please also know that I drank alcohol and smoked pot during the same period. I just do not think these things are tolerated now. I would never allow my child to march in a corps before the age of 16. My daughter is 30 though, and she had no interest in drum corps. My point is what would it help if I felt differently, and I still had a corps to sue? I could go after the person who I had the relationship with, but I know for a fact this only happened with me, and I wanted it to happen. They have been married now for over 36 years. I will never understand how money can make things better in these cases. It is just a shame the Cadets are now defunct. I hope this brings the victim in this case some kind of peace. I just don't quite understand how that works. For the first time on this forum, I don'i know how to respond...Peace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
