The Stig

Principals have egos too. They are as bad as they get. A colleague of mine was their first director and he is now at a different school in the system. I am not sure what happened there.

It is a second position. Mr. Page isn’t going anywhere.

There is an article out there about an auditionee that identified male but was still female biologically.

Don’t care. They haven’t been relevant in 20 years. However with the Madison Scouts are deeply rooted with BSA, this was going to happen one way or another. My own theory is that the Cavaliers might do the same thing in the future but they’re still relevant—so that’s not happening any time soon.

I got it fixed. Sorry.. I have my hands full with life at the moment. Doing all I can!

Anyway.. Assistant Band director job at Apollo is open.

One assistant moved up while the other is taking over the vocal music department.

Nick Calcamuggio and Elizabeth Wechtenhiser have been hired to be the new assistant directors at Hopkinsville.

The Christian County opening is for HMS and the elementary schools. This was Travis Miller's position. He is now solely doing vocal and general music. Travis will still teach the woodwinds at HHS.

Its 18 in Tennessee. Its bad judgement all around.

I know someone who as of last year was a caption head... not an instructor.. but a caption head that had their license suspended because of some kind of misconduct. This same person tried to hook up with members of my corps (after I aged out) when he was an instructor. There is a whole article about it on Reddit with who he was with in 2018--citing many different angles. It should be in the contract.. common sense doesn't exist anymore.

Lots of things can be done. You could have them sign a form stating they are not dating anyone currently in band and make it a fireable offense if it is found out. If I was a band director I would not hire any former students. I understand why directors hire former students but I am hoping the practice is shut down. If anything, go march corps for a summer after high school.

Part of it is the law.. The age of consent in Kentucky is 16. https://www.ageofconsent.net/laws/kentucky

I am almost certain that the judicial system can eliminate most of those issues. Castration is a bit extreme. So, would you say this issue is more prevalent with staff members or actual directors?
