MOVIE SPOILERS!

In this case, I suspect it'd be less an issue of the camp location going without power etc. and more a logistics nightmare when half the camp is texting in to their caption heads, "Hey my flight is cancelled. I'm delayed 3 hours, wait 4 now." etc. Some of them would no sooner get there and it'd be a done camp and time to leave. Particularly where the main airports in would be O'Hare and perhaps Midway...both of which where if a bird craps on a runway, everything is delayed.

State governors don't have say over even state institutions. It'd likely be a matter of the president as delegated to the provost level to approve space and facility usage alongside the athletics directors. And you can bet, they'll charge a premium. I wonder what Bloo paid Indiana Wesleyan for their spring training camp? And what they're paying Mount Union now? They'd have better luck with the small private institutions tbh. The big state schools that are D1 have their football teams out there in the summer. Also the small institutions might be more desperate for the income than the big program schools.

There was some whispering last season that 2024 would "continue" the story and that the white uniform that was seen for a time would be the corps uniform for it.

Bingo! If there's taxes owed on those millions...they'll come.

Oh that's new then. It's been ages since I lived up there now and it was a "Kraft owns this station and it's only open at his behest."

Unless it's changed, train service for the sport ball teams was paid for by the sport ball teams to MBTA. I doubt DCI has the cash for that

The Gillette idea isn't half bad actually considering it would shorten travel for some. But it'd mean negotiating for an NFL stadium of course. And the cost. Although those making the Ohio shows between Allentown and Finals would have to back track. So yeah. Bloomington or West Lafayette make the most sense if not somewhere in Ohio. Ford Field is there, would probably work, but again its about negotiating the use of the place and the cost.

Innit that kinda small? Searching around it says the home stands are 2000 seats...

I suspect DCI finals might actually BE the test for the new turf

His eyebrows do the same thing mine do during Both Sides Now and go up and down a bit with the melody. It's kind of a Pavlovian thing.

Bloo show reveal leaked!

Ah right. Been awhile since I've watched it.

I don't think the horns were playing on the exit. The performers making the sound were on the field. There's visual effect of them flowing down the tunnel but a lot of that was achieved before crossing the performance lines it seemed to me.

Maybe next year align with the actual 12 days of Christmas? 😁 Anyway this seems like a good place to talk about the Rose Parade bands! Toho Marching Band from Japan was fantastic. Even did drill in the TV zone. Castle HS sounded fantastic as did William Mason...who had ranks NAILING that hard greater than 90 degree turn with a wide inside arc to guide ranks.

Ah finest of the Phabric Wedgiment era.

Ooh. Thanks. I'd think a Waldo pin would have a fairly wide appeal at least!

I'd like a BAC pin not tied to the year's show. I've started collecting pins from the corps.

:looks at the date of the original conversation: :realizes 2014 trombones were legal: :giggles:

Just chiming in that yeah BAC 2000 remains something particularly special. I remember all three nights in College Park there was this complete energy in the crowd when they opened with Bolero and totally a hush as they got to the sung chorale.

Hah YouTube just fed me that show after watching a Kilties Auld Lang Syne video. Then 77 Bridgemen. Good stuff all around.

I'm always struck how late 80s and early 90s shows are full on "let's have the guard work with weird equipment" visually

You can call it OnlyChumps.com

This was my thought. BD sort ruins the odds. But then, a smart bookie would set up their lines to exploit ABBD sentiment then hedge enough that should someone pull off a win over BD they don't lose too much.

Something something ... THAT GUY AGAIN ... something ... Backflip Jesus ... something ... dangit no Cadets?
