Catherine, you friggin' lunatic, this is a twenty-five year old article!! And
you're commenting upon it? You're even crazier than I thought you were.
Perhaps you should have called them on it twenty-five years ago.
But now?? You are simply un-friggin'-real!!
If you're going to criticize something, at least go after something that
happened relatively recently - like the crazy bitch who carried her music out
onto the field in Scranton.
You are simply incredible - and in this context, that's not a good thing.
Andy - who still thinks that you're a lying, music-carrying, looking-like-shit,

and no, being asked to leave 3 corps in 28 years is not a good accomplishment.

No, as a synchronized swimming team, you psycho, they were the Coronets
Drill Team, hence, they won as a DRILL TEAM. You're just bitter because

For those of you who might give a shit about what Catherine has alleged, George
Lindstrom has forgot more about drum corps than Catherine will ever know.
Unlike Catherine and Ream, both who have self appointed themselves as "drum
corps swamis", George and Lynn are actually involved in the junior corps
activity.

It's amusing - after these past four-six years of you and Dittrich's sucking up to

two of you.
Nor is any drum corps person I know particularly with the "junior corps activity" -
and thus you have simply indicted George and Lynn Lindstrom even more that what I
alone have stated.
Dumbasses...
-- Catherine
Who thought that Jim had broken up with me?
Name names you fucked up bitch.
-Terri
i mean i am glad he came back and got his ring, but he wasn't there for all of
it.
so James, let me educate you on more than a few things.
first off...you keep trying to act like i am proud of what happened. am i proud
of our success on the field?
yes that had nothing to do with the drugs.
am i proud of how the corps ended up? no, and i did my damnedest, including
paying money out of my pocket to try and keep it going.
so here Jim, sit back and i'll tell you a tale. I'll try not to use the big
words, as i know they make you want to hit things.
ready?
in the fall of 94, early October i believe, a group of current members and
alumni met at the old Embers hotel(now a Clarion i believe) in Carlisle to see
if it was worth keeping the corps alive. the corps had their worst year in a
while, and the books didnt look good( no offense to the previous directors, but
letting people skip on dues to keep the corps decent sized didnt help).
god knows we owed staff money from previous years. we owed a lot of people
money.
that sunday afternoon, the doors were to be closed.
then, a few weeks later i get a surprise call. Jerry mace had taken over. At
that time, Jerry was working for a successful insurance agency, and his
business agreed to help underwrite some things.
imagine, from dead to alive and some free money!
sure it sounded good. a few of us even checked out the insurance company to see
if it was legit. it was indeed.
so, with renewed and agreesive recruiting, the corps started 95 bigger than 94
ended. As always, faces came and went, but the corps kept adding bodies,
and...making people pay their dues.
in fact Jim, when i jumped back in a week before Serenade, dan Delong offered
to pay my dues to do it, and i refused. i paid my own way.at that time, on my
lil EDS telemarketer salary it wasnt the best idea, but it was the corps. Dan
needed me. so i did it.
so the summer came, and imagine...peple paid their bus money too. we even drove
up to Scumbury to do a parade, and after they tried to stiff us, we threatened
to go postal, and boom we finally got our money.
now in late season, there was a member of the hornline who made claims of some
illegal things. But when asked to show proof, surprise, none came. so, it was
put to rest. We were too busy trying to do the impossible...go from DFL to top
2.
late season, John Chamberlin announced he was leaving (rest his soul). given
the distance he traveled, and the fact that he had some health issues it made
sense.
plus, some of us grilled him about how things were going, as we knew jerry's
history, and John wasn't the type to lie, so we took his word it was legit.
John had been with us since the dark days of the mid 80's...he cared to much.
so the season ended. we did well. our placement coupled with more recruiting of
an aggressive nature allowed us to have many people paying dues in the 96
winter. yeah, we had to make some cuts, but we didnt string em along like a
junior corps would. 90% of the corps was set by January.
and gasp...people paid dues. we got a few deals equipment wise to keep costs
down. we fundraised. in fact, to go to orlando, we all paid extra.
we did well. we did a shitload of parades. we didnt bus to everything, but when
we did, everyone paid bus fees.
no one had a clue, because the person doing the books at that time, swore all
was going well. this person was a parent of a corps member, an honest guy who
ran a business, so we wouldnt expect him to cheat either.
so 96 ended, and we all know what happened...and for the record Jim, i've said
it on here many times, on any day, either corps could have won.
during the winter, we heard rumblings the insurance company was going bad.
then we heard some rumblings that the corps checkbook was used personally, but
it was on paper and was to be paid back. people scratched their heads, but so
far, it all seemed ok.
then he announced the junior corps. people left in droves. boom, when you have
30 horns and you had 60, dues coming in shrinks. then our main rehearsal
facility bailed, and more places had to be paid to rehearse.
then we starting hearing bad rumors....not just the drug stuff either. Like
that the corps was out of money.
yeah we heard the drug stuff too. Steve would know, he rode in with that crew
every weekend. at that point, that crowd became very open with it. in front of
kids even.
the corps made a ton of money for july 4th parades...but we found out that thje
money was going to his drug dog business he started that winter(who better to
train them)
then the stories about bounced checks hit. The person doing the books left
because he saw how after two years of doing things right, suddenly, they
stopped being done right.
then of course, the corps got starnded in orlando when the busses were locked
because another check bounced.
( i've said it then and now they never should have gone)
it kept cascading until finally he left and the adminstration that was in power
til 01 took over. i do know we were re-doing the bylaws. i also know
threatening phone calls were received by board members including myself.
i saw the books in late 97, and what a mess. in around February or March 97,
the corps checkbook became his checkbook. the owner of the insurance company
passed away and that source dried up.
yeah it was a mess. but Jim, FYI, the stuff that truly was illegal didnt happen
til 97 as far as the corps books and how some things were financed.
plus then he took off to avoid his creditors, and last we heard, he was locked
up in Florida. there is still a lawsuit waiting him here when he gets out.
and i am sure your source can elaborate a lot more, since he hung with that
crowd.
so, anything else you wanna know?
