I know it’s about shows being rained out and the heat. But there’s something special about going to watch a drum corps show in a crappy high school stadium. At least to me
The seat jumpers are normal and don't bother me very much as long as they’re polite and leave when the real seat holders show up. But I agree, it added to the congestion a lot
I also witnessed a corps staff member shove his way past a man to get to where the corps staff stands and hold his badge up and say “you see this buddy?! You know what this means?”
I get that they need to get to where they can watch the show, but shoving people is not the way to do it.
I also had an issue in the entranceways, two times I tried to walk in as a corps was setting up, but I saw both fans and corps members blocking the entrance so people couldn’t get through. At intermission it was impossible to move because people were standing on the wall.
