arno0940 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) I was looking around Dutch Boy's website and found this on their forum.... "Losing Steve is a big blow to all of you and that's understandable. Now, it's your turn to suck it up. You have got a show that will no doubt in anybodies mind, to put you in the top three ......." I also noticed that on DCI's page under Division 3 corps contact list, the name of the corps director has changed.....Can anyone from the Dutch Boy organization give some insight into this topic??? Is Steve Miekle still the corps director??? Edited July 21, 2005 by arno0940 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusankusho Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi. Following a meeting with representatives of the Board of Directors on Tuesday July 12, Steve Meikle has indeed parted ways with Dutch Boy. The board cited differences of opinion on the management and direction of the corps. Assistant director Deb Shertzer has stepped into the director role, the instructional and support staffs are all solid and stepping up to the challenge, and the kids are still working as hard as ever. New guard uniforms were purchased just yesterday. We WILL be leaving on tour as planned tomorrow night, and we WILL make all of our scheduled appearances all the way to Rhode Island. Everyone at Dutch is more determined than ever that this will be the most successful Dutch Boy season in many years. Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumCorpsMom Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Sorry to hear about Steve leaving. I am sure that he always had the best interests of the kids and the corps at heart. Good Luck Steve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 As the one who originally wrote the article, this was to be between me and the members of the corps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambassadorhorn Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 As the one who originally wrote the article, this was to be between me and the members of the corps!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think Jim, meant to step on any toes. It was posted on a public forum on the internet so you have to expect that someone outside the Dutchboys might see it. Perhaps adding a request in posts like this that they not be re-posted would help. It's not enforce-able of course but I know I would respect such a request.

I've already emailed the original poster of this thread and we smoothed things out !!! I talked to Jim and he explained what he did and that was OK with me !!!!! I've calmed down !!!!
