This actually made me laugh out loud! Oh, the good old days. VK had some old buses from the late 50's? One was called Silver sides and once inside you felt like you were headed toward a dark goth underworld

Are you thinking the tympani player in 1982? As far as I know, no it is not the same person. In fact "this I believe" lol his brother was drum major of Cadets that same year.

37, favorite was 1982. Love Montreal

Troopers guard numbers, OUCH!

Back in my days marching, on free days too!😂

I can never listen to 83 enough! One of my favorite shows!

Sun is making it back out, most of the clouds moving northeast of the area, but quite a bit of thunder lurking.

There was a corps just rehearsing in the stadium now. PA announcement in the stadium to clear the field for lightning and hail headed this way. Pretty dark clouds, but plenty of time for this to pass. Corps was told to seek shelter on the concourse.

Since we don't have Brooklyn's to hang out at anymore, found a decent pub a few blocks west of the CSU canvas stadium. Mo Jeauxs at 820 city Park avenue. I'm positive the Swifties are blowing the socks off of the Brooklyn's staff near Mile High right about now.

I got a feeling they won't have these issues when Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett are here Tuesday night.

I waited 10 minutes in line at the most. Folks saw the long line on the NE corner and just got in it. I walked on the opposite side of the street along the post office and saw nine gates and 2- 3 of them had less than 20 people in line. And this was near 545pm. If I recall in 2009 or 12, the souvie stands were placed in either the area behind the north end zone (same or a lower level ) or way up on a higher level. That year, fans went into the main gates near where sound sport was being held on Saturday. Plus, I saw a number of elderly fans needing and struggling to walk up the various group of stairs from the east entrance to the west side. My other observation was for the entire three days, there were no concession stands open from the east entrance until they got past the marketplace. I had numerous folks stop to ask me where I got my drink from. The lines in the Wynn club were really long and then by Friday and Saturday, other concessions had opened up past the main west area but closer to the performer's entrance from the lots. But this was in a location where probably 60-70% of fans would not walk to in order to enter their respective tunnel. A poorly executed plan by DCI and LOS higher ups.

Don't forget Brass Angels, the all female theater group made up of mostly drum corps gals who were taught by mostly drum corps staff members and toured Japan in 2008.

Social distancing makes riding a bus, rehearsing on a field, standing in the chow line and sleeping on a gym floor impossible
