No one could do anything about the wildfire smoke. Honestly, coming to Reddit about it instead of talking to staff to get a better understanding of what they can or cannot control is probably not the best way to approach this. I hope these issues are resolved OP, and that these are just blips on a great summer. I would at least have the bus members checked. I’ve had my fair share of bus malfunctions, but I’ve never had a bus fill with smoke. Germs love 150+ people all crammed in close proximity with each other. This is literally a no brainer and it only spreads more sickness. Not quarantining sick members is the biggest red flag to me. There were definitely corps in that area who didn’t rehearse outside due to the air quality, this is a little concerning in my opinion. That being said I don’t think anything as described here is too out of the ordinary, but I have some slight issues. The “that’s just how drum corps is” mentality is what leads to students having a miserable summer. I spent years thinking “that’s just how drum corps is” until I found a corps that treats their members like adults, and takes care of them. Unfortunately in this activity we have decades of people who think being mistreated is normal and this simply is not the case. If something is bothering you, or if you feel like there is something wrong, then you should absolutely bring it up with a section leader, or a staff member you trust. Hey there, I’m sorry for these issues you’re having this summer. It seemed like they did not do anything that's why I posted to ask if it is normal. Other than this we are generally treated good.Įdit: I filled out the whistle blower about each when it happened. I know these incidents are out of the corps control but I don't know if the response to it is normal and how every corps does. All members are okay and it is under control but we breathed in a lot of smoke and nobody has checked on us or seen medical. There was a minor incident with a bus and it filled with smoke. There isn't a sick room or sleeping area so more people keep getting it. The sick started two to three weeks ago and sick people are still around us like normal. There is a sick going around and sick members are not being quarantined. We got news alerts saying it was dangerous to be outside but we didn't move inside and only got masks halfway through. When the air quality was very bad in Michigan we still rehearsed outside all day. I think my corps has made questionable choices for member health and safety but they keep telling us it is this way at every corps. This is my first year marching, so I don't know what is normal for treatment of members.
