LOL, Indy doesn't have a night life. Indy is like that DJ at 2am, "You can still have a party but you can't do it here..."

We've heard this before. They are good. Their show design is also good, but better by leaps and bounds better...no.

Perp version of Where's Waldo.

The bugs in Florida..I mean are HUGE....

Texas hot is NOTHING compared to Florida hot.

Well, that is true however, don't judge others from either your perspective or experiences. Being 18-22 means you are an adult. Not everything is a nail from your hammer. Pushing people to be more than they are is an amazing thing. The question is "what-if" too far? I'm not seeing an issue for the most part. Now, people even considering merging of DCA and DCI...shudder. Absolutely no way.

Working smarter is always the way to go. Did someone make the argument of building character? Drum corps already does that..a lot. Seriously, we don't need to coddle mostly young adults. They are old enough to make decisions. Trust in the people that are on the field. I give them a LOT more credit for knowing when they need to sit down and take a break. Trust me, this is NOTHING compared to detasseling corn fields...THAT truly sucked.

Any bets this show is played more than any other this winter? Loving this book.

The advantages of being older and wiser. The young are not going to do this nor care for the most part. Honestly I never had an issue with the heat and 88 was awful. Ya it sucked sometimes esp with valves drying out a lot and no grass on fields but heat as THE issue, meh. Give the kids/young adults more credit for staying hydrated, being is incredible shape and taking breaks. Armed forces carry rucks and march and run in far worse.

Possibly

Heat is an issue. THE issue, meh. Bigger issue is marching on astroturf. It holds and reflects the heat something awful.

Besides safety, affordability. People that don't need drum corps are now the only ones that can do it.

Protective gear is NOT batting. DH changes the worth of a pitcher.

Well, they will be out of Chicago...

Also, Madison is close, Colts, Blue Stars, BLOO (fairly close)....

This is a situation that if not handled correctly could end DCI. Shunning is free.

AND there are things to do! Great food, museums, amusement parks....

Wouldn't it be cool if DCI moved finals for a year to Chicagoland? So much to do, lots of housing....new stadium.

Wrong... You are imagining something that isn't there unless you bring it yourself.

"We" who is "we"? Like I said it's art. Stretching something as outrage or "appropriation" because it's not accurate or trying to force something on an artist? See Chapelle.... Hey, and I'm all for research and whatnot but outraged over a costume or uniform? Pass....

Because when your argument is faulty that's what you do.....

I get it. It doesn't hurt doing research...like ever. Just, if you think that will negate people from "faux" insult for whatever reason, you will drive yourself insane trying to please everybody. It's art man....it is what it is.

Or even weirder being offended by something non-malicious or out of your ethnicity....

There ya go. But they exist and I see no reason to stop them from doing whatever they want to...it's on them to change and learn.
