Galen Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Mods, feel free to close if this is deemed against DCP rules. That said, I'm starting a blog to profile the various venues that host drum corps shows. My hope is to help fans considering attending a show to be better informed of what it would be like to go to that show. Essentially it's a preview of the "theater" that may help people better select seats, sections, etc, and also possibly help potential tour and event promoters successfully submit their bids for hosting future competitions. The blog can be viewed at http://marchingarenas.blogspot.com/#!/. Right now I'm building it mainly with my own photos, but if you have pics of your own you'd like to share or want to suggest a stadium for me to profile, just send me a PM or email. Happy marching! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing beats Horlick Field right? Marched it 2x in juniors and 2x with Kilties. Great crowds, fantastic setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Horlick's always a blast, especially during Racine Raiders games. Nothing like 4,000 drunk football fans screaming their heads off for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindap Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The Berry Center, Cypress, (Houston) TX. Gotta love high school football in TX! Awesome high school stadium! This thread needs photos and you delivered. Thanks! In the late 60's/early 70's I always liked drum corps contests at Varsity Stadium (the perimeter had a brick wall with trees, acoustics were intimate and clear) or CNE Grandstand in Toronto (it had an audience overhang that captured the sound, the grass was deep, seagulls visited often, however the acoustics were really good)...um my new computer has a hard drive error; to be shipped for a fix on Tuesday. 'A Weekend Happening'? I'll post more photos in 7-10 working days or so...to be continued :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
