JimF-LowBari Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Used to call it the prison in the 70s and 80s when marching there. School(?) at the open end of the horseshoe looked like a prison. Give Erie credit as lot of Red Carpet Assocaion (60s/70s) and International Corps Association (80s) championships there along with Tbirds regular season shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they still hold the local marching band circuit (LMBA) championships there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nifty place! In and out. All the souvenir booths are lined up outside the stadium along a fairly busy city street. Until the past couple years, this show was not on the same night as Massillon (which is closer to me), and I liked attending both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melligene Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The school is still operation. Has been Collegiate Academy for quite some time with many 1st places in National Academic competitions. The real beauty of the "Vet" is the acoustics and the up close and personal to the crowd. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Have always wanted to go to this show, which is only 2 hours away from me, but sadly I have too much work to do at home. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
