There have been massive problems with staffing and closings in all the major pharmacies. I have been to CVS multiple times to find they just shut the pharmacy down for the day (and sometimes longer) with no apology, no explanation and no information on when they would be open again.
Ticket sales remain strong AFAIK, plus movies and Flo watchers now would add something even beyond what we had 20 years ago.
So if financial support from the community is down, maybe it is because today’s fan base is more transitory, disappearing long before they accumulate the kind of wealth needed to become big donors.
If that is true:
- Maybe it is time to stop using strong attendance numbers to mock others for being concerned drum corps is dying.
- Maybe it’s time to stop bashing “dinos”.
- Maybe more things others can add.
