soccerguy315 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 last time I was at Allentown (... last August) and it stormed before the show, some really drunk old drum corps alum jumped in the normally peaceful stream. It was more like a river that afternoon. Thought he was going to hit his head and die, but luckily he did not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it stopped for a couple hours. Soon-after Cadets finished performing, the rain started up again. #AllentownDrumCorpsChronicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommeee Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 What a dumb waste of time this evening was. 2+ hour drive to Allentown. Hasn't been raining now for 30 minutes, but still no show. NOTHING. Ridiculously bad break for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot more to consider than just the field and stands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly made the same drive - I only backed out due to be worn out from my work week. 2+ hours also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot more to consider than just the field and stands... they also have a specific time they have to make the call - DCI rules, local sound ordinance etc. I think it was 8:15 tonight they met to make the call. Then getting the word out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've at least liked to see Cadets do a standstill. Kids were ready, and noticeably bummed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwenawena Land Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 My Crossmen was bummed for sure. And yes, she has good friend that marches Genesis. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoaDci Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Ok, are they postponing, cancelling, or moving to indoors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
