elphaba01 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Understand there is no Barnum Festival' "Parade of Champions" DCA drum corps show this year? Is this for real? Anybody out there know "Why"? Andy? Elphaba WWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Plus last year's show was a disaster, between the awful venue change and the weather. I do believe Hurcs are still holding their August show at Bridgeport HS though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajlisko Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Elphie, as far as I know, lack of money from sponsors ... the entire Festival has shrunk in size and events over the past several years ... last year's fiasco and "on again" "off again" sputtering didn't help ... due to the construction at Central HS, there was no parking ... the show was moved to Bunnell HS (not Longbrook Park) at the last moment but then the weather threw another monkey wrench into the mix ...

The show should have been cancelled. The weather was horrific and created dangerous conditions for the performers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
