shine1108 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 So i did my weekly browse at youtube (I know!) but anyways there are some vids by musicforall.org showing the sound test at lucas field, the main thing that caught my eye was the backdrop (an absolutely MASSIVE black curtain) is this just for BoA or has it been made especially for the stadium and could we see it at DCI finals in 2009?

XxDrumCorpsFanxX Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 From what I heard, I thought it will be even an even bigger back drop for DCI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's nice, but it didn't appear large enough, hopefully it will be bigger! Also looked off center.. Nice Stadium, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs alumni Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 so it sounds like there's still reverb issues which i thought was going to be addressed. i know when you have a stadium like this, there's bound to be some sound issues, but i thought i heard they were going to be working with acoustics specialists to minimize this. overall still nice, too bad they were too stingy to put DCI there like it was supposed to be (inside sources tell me the stadium was ready to go and they just wanted to save the first event for a Colts game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked very close to completion at the time, but I'm sure there were some housekeeping things that needed to be taken care of for safety reasons. So oh well, I thought IU worked at pretty well considering the circumstances, we will see how Lucas Oil works out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was on August 22nd, two weeks after DCI Finals were held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs alumni Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 funny you mention that, because i mentioned that at the time, but i was told that wasn't going to happen....see i should stick to what i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry S Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The first events ever to be held at Lucas Oil Stadium occurred on August 22, 2008 and were part of the PeyBack Classic, featuring Indiana High School Football games played between Noblesville High School and Fishers High School in Game 1, followed by New Palestine High School and Whiteland Community High School in Game 2.

zachariaswmb Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Darn cool show Lawrence Central's got going on there, though, from what I can hear. The acoustics work well for marching band, but I'm still waiting to see what happens when the decibels start cranking come next August. See how the stadium handles it then, because there's really nothing that can duplicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
