    Worse, let’s relive the 80s and 90s.  You get to tour time and the bus company isn’t paid. So no one gets to go on tour.  Or your tractor rentals aren’t paid, so the semis can’t go on tour.
     

    Or worse yet… Suppose they get 30-45 days on the road and it all falls apart.  There’s no money for food. (Oddly This isn’t an uncommon problem in drum corps.. seriously)  
     

    Perhaps they hit Charles city, IA and have to shut down, and then everyone ends up ubering to the podunk airport (should Uber operate there…. or worse… no Uber in bumble**** nowhere) and then everyone just gotta find their way home.  
     

    kids… get a lawyer.  Always get a lawyer when your corps falls apart and leaves you out to dry. (In both literal ways, as well as proverbial) 

    Teal Sound and Capitol Regiment come immediately to mind for me.

    This has to be the most the New York Times has ever published about drum corps. Aside from a couple of mentions of "band" (and really, what's the diff now?) its pretty accurate and complimentary, right down to the mention of PB&J! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/heat-wave-south.html?smid=url-share

    Excellent piece by the Times. The writer and photographer really captured it well. Back in 1993, the Times also did a piece on The Cadets, then, The Cadets of Bergen County and that was a fun read too.

    Air Quality Issues for DCI First Show and Beyond

    in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

    Watching Troopers perform last night in that air reminded me of what we went through here two years ago in Glenwood Springs, CO. We had two very bad fires in the area, Pine Creek just east of Grand Junction and then later, the Grizzly Creek fire in Glenwood Canyon. Our air quality was bad all summer but especially in August. I have Asthma and had to get breathing treatments 3 times that summer. Hopefully, things improve soon in the Midwest, I can't imagine performing in those conditions.

    it's a pro soccer stadium in Chester PA. it was wet, and the props killed the natural surface...and that in turn was detrimental to the facilities main tenant.

     

    if the cost is cheaper, move Atlanta there, because word is Mercedes is too expensive to ever use it again

    Same thing for DATR in Denver. Showed moved to Colorado State in Fort Collins last year. I think that's the new home for the show for at least the next few years.
