Yeah, I heard the drum swells live in Allentown. I just don’t like it for such a sensitive moment musically . In a dome it will probably sound worse maybe if they take the volume/dynamic way down it will work better?

The piece in the ballad they need to switch is the little drumline swells accompaniment from right to center to left …does not sound good. The switch to yellow flags would be great

I like this… Swap, Mandarins and Cadets and that would be a perfect outcome in my book 😁

Pull points out of the most subjective captions and place them in the lesser subjective captions. Most who have been around a while know what those captions are. Why corps don’t want to do this is very interesting to me. I would love to hear 3 reasons why corps are unwilling to adjust the judging system to be the least subjective as possible 😊

Bump 🙂

Hello folks I hate to say this, but in a blink of an eye, the 2023 season will be over. So it’s never too early to start thinking about 2024. 😄. Question, simple one , for those who get tickets every year and probably get an advanced email notification, When do the San Antonio tickets typically go on sale?

I have missed the Allentown weekend twice since 1997. I think the idea of the marketplace with food trucks is a good one. if I made one small tweak, it would be , if possible. Spread the food trucks out a bit more. When it was busy, it was kind of a large unorganized pile of folks .Didn’t know who was in a line, or who was just standing and chatting. I heard originally they were thinking of using Linden Street however safety could been an issue. Overall, I had a great time as usual. I love going to Allentown, as do many many others. I would never change the venue. I bet if they were donation boxes and there was an announcement made during the show to say please see if you can give us a few dollars to improve the venue and help keep the Allentown show here at J Birney you would get a good response. 😊

Hello also just reaching out to see if anyone knows where the best post show hangouts with drum corps folks is in downtown Indianapolis? Also, what is the DCI headquarters host hotel? I would imagine it would be a good happening scene there….

And for this reason is why I think the GE caption needs to be completely revisited and turned on its head. There is certainly a a lot of great effect in BAC’s show, and the coordination and transitions are very smooth, especially compared to bd and bluecoats. Just my humble opinion.

There is a special-needs section for people to sit who cannot negotiate the stairs. It has been there since they revamped the stadium many years ago.

I hope you are right that would make it very exciting for a change 😁

I was there and you are 100% correct oh, and I enjoyed telling some members of the troopers that was the case on the way out of the stadium after the show

I was specifically talking about Thursday 😁.

People have been providing some great tips . Just one tip from me , the walk from where you enter the stadium to where most of the seating is , is a bit of a walk so allow time for that. One addition for the stadium concession stands , things are a bit slow going on Thursday as they are getting things setup and going but I have never had issues or missed corps on Thursday due to concessions issues. A good strategy is to go to the concessions during the corps performing right before an intermission….you can beat the masses usually 😁

Bump

I don’t get it it was mentioned in this original post that Allentown has some issues with some seats, and now everyone is relocating Allentown everywhere in the world, maybe someone will suggest the moon. The stadium was refurbished and from my eyes it’s mostly in good shape. so let’s just fix things that we need to and continuing having a great show at the most historic stop on the tour 😊. individual corps do fund drives all the time why can’t we have one for the Allentown stadium?

They have a better run in them. They felt a little on and off tonight. I think they are going to slay Thursday night in Indy.

Too early to know….

2nd or 3rd place 😂

Their musical timing seems off compared to last night especially front ensemble to battery……

They’re hitting a groove and I can’t wait to see them in Allentown going to be nuts !

Actually, it should be happy spouse. Happy house. 😁

Now don’t exaggerate it was 236 …🙃

I like academy’s whole show this year not sure why they are so loose music ensemble wise this year that’s usually a strong point for them . Hopefully they can tighten things up a bit more. 😁

Yep, it’s what drum corps is supposed to be
