Madison Scouts Open to All Genders
formerbulldog replied to Fred Rogers's topic in Band and Drum Corps discussion
With how the Scouts have been the last few years, I see this as a bonus. Also is it open to "all genders?" or male / female......big differences there. There is a tradition thing I am fighting with, because it seems there are no longer traditions of anything. Hell, next year, just announce corps, A,B,C etc...and we can try to figure out who they are. Well the Cavvies we'll know. I haven't seen any shows and will not until Championships. I won't know who half of them are...LOL.... I do think ever kid in todays marching arts should have to march one outdoor show in a wool u -

Fraternize was the word I was looking for. Thank you! That would be my thoughts as well. -

There is now a digital footprint that doesn't lie. While the age of consent is 16 in Kentucky, is there not a rule about superiors (like teachers, staff, everyone in general) about #DFTK?? Example: ABC Band hires a newly graduated high school boy for a tech position in band. Billy Bob is 19. He meets Sassy Sally who is 17, in the clarinet section. They toot each others horns, should Billy Bob be fired, arrested, prosecuted? Because he was in an authoritative position. The sexes on the above can be switched or even same sex. What are everyone's thoughts? -

https://www.dailybulletin.com/2019/04/11/rancho-cucamonga-band-teacher-dies-by-suicide-after-learning-of-police-investigation-officials-say/ I think it is 50/50. read the above article....there's more. But sad in general. Kids trying to be older than they are on social media on certain apps. It is happening way to much. IE, when a male or female is communicating with someone they are believed to be of age (because to be on said sites you HAVE to enter a birth date that populates to the age of 18. At this point that young person knows right from wrong. This director was co -

There is always going to be a bad apple in anything and everything in life. Yes. However, there comes a point when there needs to be consequences for actions. A slap on the wrist, and people will go, "oh great...I can do this and just get a smack on the hand." Or depending on where you are at, serve time in jail. In Indy at a high school, a guy volunteering with the track team couldn't keep his pole vault in his pants, and is now going to be serving 9 years in jail. It baffles me how localities vary on stuff like this for penalties. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. -
Copyright claim from Box5

I saw this in the reddit discussion, but I'm not on there yet. Here is my thought on videos, I often share with people videos of marching bands especially from kentucky to my friends who are curious about the little bands that can. This draws an interest. I do the same with winter guard videos. Trying to explain winter guard to people without having video is an extremely tough thing. Video is also a great recruiting tool. But let's do away with videos and everything visual, and just talk things up......... -

With the relevance of social media coming into play in today's world, common sense would tell one, #DFTK. I guess some people just think it is okay to play with fire. But when they get burned, cry fowl. I think castration is a viable option. -
Well apparently Hopkinsville HS is going to be open..........

Why? Because Scott County doesn't? Reason's why they can be in the hunt next year, Ronald Reagan, Weiss, Vandergrift, Kennesaw Mountain. It can happen! -
KY Band BOA Participation
formerbulldog replied to mulandarnthorn27's topic in Band and Drum Corps discussion
It had been long rumored that when the year they didn't win Class A they would take the year off. However, with the double panel crap they encountered last year, they should have been in semi's. But I digress. -
That would be fantastic!
