verzephobe Posted May 15 Posted May 15 As a response to the attack on the Westfield Indoor Percussion from Indiana's Lt. Governor, Westfield Indoor Percussion will perform as the opening act for the Inside the Sound event at the Fishers' Event Center with Carolina Crown & the Cavaliers! Announcement post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYVoTk3JH7l/ I'm not sure if DCP was paying close attention to what Micah Beckwith had said regarding Westfield's percussion ensemble and claiming their group was "demonic". Indiana in particular is a hotspot for the marching arts in all its forms, and this accusation was really disheartening for a lot of us marchers in Indy. I knew a lot of my friends were wondering if DCI was going to pull out of Indy with the lack of support from the Lt. Governor, but this is a really amazing response from Crown & Cavs. It makes me proud to be both a Cavaliers fan and a Hoosier, knowing that these corps stand behind Westfield and support all forms of the marching arts. Knock 'em dead out there, Shamrocks! 2 1 Quote
kdaddy Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Tremendous move by Cavaliers and Crown! I prefer that marching arts be performative, not elected officials playing to disinformed base. 4 1 Quote

Director followed procedure, notified parents, provided an opportunity for students to opt out (One or two did), and they moved the goal posts on the program at the 11th hour. The comments by the members of the board were mind-blowing. 2 Quote
