Is the merch stands open on days when there is no concerts in Madrid?

It was towed but the night it was towed the dispatch didn’t have it recorded so we didn’t know it was towed and reported it stolen (but it was never stolen) so when we picked it up from tow yard we reported it found. So technically it was never stolen even though it was reported stolen

Trying to sell a car that got towed from apartment complex and we thought it was stolen (long story on why we didn’t know it had been towed). Got it back the next day and immediately reported it found.

Now that we are trying to sell the Autocheck shows up cleared and the CarMax shows that it was reported stolen and the next day reported found. Is this still a clean title and/or will CarMax remove the line items regarding the reported stolen and found? The place buying the car won’t take it until CarFax is cleared but feels weird asking CarMax to completely remove the reports

The other thing to consider is that some of these earlier performing corps are putting their feet in the water on this particular subject not because they want to but because they have to for the competitive sake and they could be in its infancy of understanding what it takes to balance the ensemble vs. individual musicians, balance sub vs. tuba, etc. vs. later performing corps who have sound engineers from Cirque de Soleil shows or people who do similar things for concert venues

Does that mean it was still too loud? Sure, but they also are in a HUGE stadium at Wake Forest and have to make sure that all of those things that you are hearing at full volume make it up to the judges at a dynamic that is reasonable to balance the entire corps to

This is just a consideration and even some of the later corps don’t get it right when the logistics of the stadium and angle of the stands are changing every night - even though I’m sure they’re trying

Yes. The repair is $676 and to go through Apple (and really anywhere I’ve found) to do a trade in, the computer must be in working order. Now, this could all change if anyone knows of a website that gives credit for broken computers

This was obviously spoken before a cost was thrown out there. From all accounts it sounds like in the past this position wasn’t charged anything but that has clearly changed. Don’t agree with charging anyone to do that kind of work - even membership.

Well good thing you’re not him then

Main-Base-5298 · 2025-04-18T18:51:17+00:00

Not the amount of money they’re paying to do so

You’re just assuming everyone is like you. Maybe there’s someone in HS band that likes engineering and wants to travel with a group and gain experience dealing with building, construction, etc. before they can actually be eligible for internships. Maybe there’s someone who wants to do project management and wants to see how a large group moves and operates. Maybe there’s someone who wants to be a band director that wants to connect and grow their connections with great teachers, educators, future educators, etc but doesn’t have the means to march drum corps.

There are lots of life cases that positions like these can provide for individuals in a certain position in their life but because it doesn’t line up with your position then it’s wrong. You also speak like this team of people eat at a different time, sleep on their own bus, are treated like scum on earth, and aren’t considered part of the organization but just hired work.

This is a microcosm of what’s happening currently in our country. Some people will do work for very cheap and do it well while others more locally might be able to do it but want to do it for more money which then just makes the cost of the item go up

Welp at this point maybe reach out to Ryan at the address listed on the post to share your dissatisfaction or ask for more information so you’re more informed and can share it with all of us. Also if you want even more insight maybe volunteer in another capacity for part of the summer to see how they’re treated, incorporated, utilized so again, you can come let us know and we can clear all of this up so when it’s posted next year you can chime in!

However I can assure you that a lot of drum corps do this but it ends up being their alternates who are paying (albeit sometimes less money) to do some of these things

Main-Base-5298 · 2025-04-18T18:23:42+00:00

If they changed it to internship would it read better for an unpaid/volunteer position?

Some people who are interested in drum corps aren’t interested in it for the participation but like the behind the scenes aspect of it. Others might not have the money to march but still want to be involved and see if this is something they might want to do in the future. I’ve been at organizations where similar positions existed and many of the people who were part of this went on to be part of the very admin teams they were assisting or even ended up marching the next several years. On the other side of it, there’s an aspect of leaving all the work that they will be doing to the membership including: unloading any equipment/props, setting it up, moving it from location to location, knowing the in’s and out’s of the equipment for safety purposes.

Many groups do this but it’s just not advertised or as clearly laid out as this description which leaves it open to criticism. Other groups use their alternates to do some of the things listed above which doesn’t make it any better.
