Be interesting if the sponsor has event insurance to recoup a lot of their costs in the event of a weather or other issue. I would bet they do to some point. You're points are completely valid and makes complete sense. It doesn't make it any less painful for people who do travel quite a distance to attend but they do make it known ahead of time (I never paid attention when buying our tickets). It would be awesome if as part of the venue they had access to a Gym or Auditorium where Corps could go in and play a standing set each for the crowd. They used to have that option for one of the marching contests we went to in high school a long long long long long time ago.

Wait, what? I had no clue they don't refund for rainouts even with insurance. That just seems like a horrible policy!

Just too late. That would put the end at least to past midnight and these corps are hitting the road for a long drive to their next location. PCs drive is 6.5 hours tonight.

Corps communication. They are packing up.

Sorry about your drive and the show being cancelled! Hope you get to see another one instead!

officially cancelled.

AGREE!

Doubt 8:30 is a start time, kids are still undercover.

Just depends which site you go to. Accuweather says at least 9:00 but then the radar ends, Wunderground says rain through 11 at least. Weather.com is until midnight. Be nice if all were wrong, but consensus is it will last for a while. Whats a good radar that can give us hope that something will happen tonight?

Lightning protocol for the corps just now.

Good luck to all. Most the corps have long drives tonight so hoping for minimal to no delay at all!

Radar actually shows better chance of rain later versus earlier. But radar has improved favorably to maybe miss them completely unless there's close lightning. Definitely looking better now than it did 4 hours ago.
