The vaccines are coming, but their implementation will be slow, starting with front line medical workers and then being phased in for other segments of the population. School boards will remain extremely wary about the safety of their staffs and the legal implications of opening their facilities for the use of large groups of strangers from across the country. While a few might bite the bullet i think the vast majority will still be in the "sorry, ask us again next year" category. I think we simply won't have the infrastructure available to run a tour even if the instructional staffs and members are willing to take a chance.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY... On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right; but he also knew that one day he would return to her. (cue theme music) LOL Sorry.... I had to.

This subject is absolutely on topic. Many a man back then was unceremoniously evicted by his wife, significant other, friends and/or family for grievances related to his obsession with drum corps. I don't know where Felix marched, but his over-the-top OCD fastidiousness would have been SOP in many a corps. Just consider some of the now quaint and outdated elements of the activity in those halcyon times: Inspection, Tics, FM 22-5 Drill and Ceremonies requirements, silence on the field, tempo restrictions, flag code...etc. Felix Unger's personality was perfectly suited to drum corps, neurotic to a fault. 'Scuse me while I go polish my white bucks.

hell indoor groups in my area can't even get into their own gyms...like worse than normal

In real life, Tony Randall stayed married for over 50 years until his wife died. Then when he was 75 he married a 25 year old and then had 2 kids.

He marched with with Bob Barker, before Barker died. 😀

Did Felix Unger march in Buccaneers? Was he woke? Did "woke" exist as a term back then? Was the phrase back then actually "He's hip, he's cool, he's 45!" If this is off topic, there are throngs of forum members who will report it to the moderators only to have this post removed. ...and we will once again have absolutely nothing to talk about on this forum.

I can tell you from personal experience,right now schools are reluctant to let any outside group use their facilities. One school district made their own town's police department jump through hopes to hold a promotion ceremony the school gym.

Yeah, no one wants to be the first (aka the guinea pig) to open up to strangers and take a chance with their own students (aka kids of taxpayers and voters). More I’m thinking 2021 will be slowly head toward what used to be normal. But like 9/11 we’re never going back to the way things were before.

The intro with "Maria" gives major goosebumps! I did not realize how different the intro to "Jeremiah" was at the beginning of the '85 season.
