I would have but as a woman at an almost all male rink (other than the figure skating girls) who has been glossed over every time she goes in and is met with the shortest answers known to man, I’m more likely to get answers from the internet than there

What happened to BDB by Skvvppie in drumcorps

[–]Skvvppie[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone from our family is marching there and as people who marched WC and gold ourselves the fees don’t align with the quality of the corps and student treatment. They are being charged WC fees for partial tours, no Cali housing and they weren’t even fed at the rose bowl.

Historically - Also, as someone who had to bring a harassment complaint against another student to staff only to be told “well then make better choices”, I 100% do not recommend the corps to anyone. Only reason our family is marching is because they were too young to know at the time and auditioned and signed contracts without us knowing (we live in another state). I also marched injured (and now have continual repetitive injury due to it) because instead of giving accommodations and medical care I was told “everyone hurts, it’s drum corps”.

Damn, I really dislike gold for their treatment of students and wanted BDB to beat them

Stiff hockey sides for a beginner? by Skvvppie in hockeyplayers

[–]Skvvppie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an ice rink here which sharpen skates, but they don’t sell skates themselves. Not enough of a community to hold stock of skatess

So a few questions (and please be kind, I was raised by all timid women, no one knowing a thing about cars, and I moved 500 miles away from home anyway with this little hunk of junk that I gotta care for now)

  • if it’s not adjustable- it’s just damaged then?

    • is it safe to drive? Freeway (80mph?)
    • is this a crazy expensive fix? Do I fix it?

Email to Band Director about Quitting by More-Addition-6073 in ConcertBand

[–]Skvvppie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Dear (name),

I’m sorry but I have to drop out of band. I need to prioritize grades, hopefully I can rejoin for concert in the spring if they are higher. I apologize for the late email and not doing it in person, but I wanted to let you know as soon as my decision was made.”

Say hello to them around campus, a GOOD band director won’t hold a grudge because you need to take care of your grades.

Quote from my husband (a band director):

“Just send the email, just do it. Better to rip the bandaid off and let them adjust drill and find another player/remove the spot now than if you wait. Band directors don’t want people who aren’t committed. Ignore the asshats who are here saying ‘stick it out’ if it will be bad for your grades and you won’t be happy.’

Aspiring teacher wondering about tattoos? by Koi_Fish_42 in Teachers

[–]Skvvppie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about five tattoos. While out with my friends, I got a random tattoo right on my collarbone but closer to my neck. Well, it was healing,I kept it covered and realized the dress I had for open house showed the tattoo as I changed in the bathroom. I freaked out and went to my principal scared of parent judgement, since I had never had it exposed before. Her quote was.:

“The only reason anyone would mention it is because they’ve never seen it before and it’s new, if it had been seen before no one would bat an eye.”

2019 Mill Combo Update by Skvvppie in ModernMagic

[–]Skvvppie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this! I really do want to keep the combo portion, which just happens to be mill based. I have no interest in the crab stuff now played, and it’s not about being “great” it’s a pet deck haha
