  1. May through July will be a busy time in Lucas Oil with the hosting of the Olympic Swimming Trials in May. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/2023/06/15/2024-olympic-trials-how-usa-swimming-will-put-a-pool-in-lucas-oil-stadium/70317961007/

  3. Bluecoats Phantom Regiment Blue Devils Troopers Mandarins
  4. I have several now "vintage" Star of Indiana shirts. Crazy how storing and not wearing them for decades caused them to shrink. 🤔
  5. Seems like this thread stopped being about SCV several pages ago.
  6. Ha. I remember "doing dots" late at night in the early 80's.
  7. Agreed. While I miss the pre-amplified experience unique to a drum corps performing on a 100-yard stage (SCV Miss Saigon helicopter effect comes to mind), I'm grateful for the Garden of Love, keytars, harmonicas, and all of today's creative drum corps sights and sounds...and excited for what comes next.
  8. Enjoyed hearing your impressions and loved the line, "Ive seen episodes of My Little Pony that were trippier than this."
  9. Serving a timeout for his Friday night age-out joke.
  10. Why is it rude if audience members express different levels of enthusiasm? If I distract you during a performance by talking, arriving late, (or being the guy who yells, "They're always ready!"), that's rude. I reserve standing ovations for authentic expressions of enthusiastic appreciation, not mandatory superficial courtesy rituals. My more common experience at quarter/semi-finals has been fans of higher-placing corps not giving lower-placing corps standing ovations. I'm referring to those who only arrive when the higher-placing groups (or their favorite) take the field. Is that rude? Or do they have the right to be in the lot or elsewhere? For BD members, I'm confident the percentage of audience members who were on their feet at semi-finals will be a non-issue as they enjoy the many thousands who will be applauding as they receive their gold medals Saturday night.
  11. Contract was through 2028, extended 5 years to 2033.
  12. Why are students being subjected to this at all?
