Fran Haring Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 On the DCA schedule this weekend.... the Barnum Festival "Champions on Parade" show, a longtime tradition on the summer drum corps calendar. A new venue for this year... Bunnell H.S. in Stratford, CT. All sorts of "shows within the show".... Buccaneers vs. Caballeros vs. Fusion Core.... Hurricanes vs. Bushwackers... and the White Sabers making their 2015 debut. Predictions/thoughts, anyone??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that spread opening up a little between Bucs and Cabs Fusion add guard uniforms helps concept a little. Bush finishes a little more of their show and gets rid of some of that penalty. 80.35 Bucs 76.95 Cabs 74.55 Fusion 65.25 Hurcs 62.99 Bush (1.5 penalty) 60.00 White Sabres AoE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle B Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I love Bridgeport's stadium/bleachers. However, I'm sorry, the town is one of the worst on the circuit. Are people not allowed to comment on that? As a person who has been both a performer and a patron several times, had it not been an awesome stadium to view as well to perform in, I would never want to go there again. If you wanted to warm up out of the neighborhood, you were taking a very big risk. Also, let's not discuss the deplorable state of the bathrooms at the stadium. I'm not sure what is worse, the bathrooms at Bridgeport or the shower situation at Kingston. I predict Fran will do an excellent job announcing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a late season show that is scheduled for the site in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I'll be at Citi Field in NYC for a Mets game... with an old friend from my NJ radio days. Not announcing the game, just watching.
