Lance Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm thinking about taking a trip down to San Antonio for both days of the competition, but I'm still on the fence about whether $750 (about how much it would cost for air/hotel/tickets) for one person is worth it. Anybody else in a similar dilemma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Dude, road trip. It's a lot cheaper, and there's something about the open road that still reminds me about drum corps. I drove from Las Vegas to Indy last year and it was epic, and I'm planning on doing it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 A road trip wouldn't be much cheaper for me, actually. After calculating gas and all, I'd probably save a total of about $100...for an extra 20 hours of driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanAndreasen Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I love to drive but when the venue turns out to be a s### hole it kind of turns sour i.e. Iowa to Jackson and Dallas. However, I love corps and don't really regret any trip. If you want to pick a show this year IMHO it has to be Minneapolis - DCI before DCI and in the open air.

AlexL Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I wish i could do a lot of travel to shows this year. Last year i was on vacation in California and my last day out there coincided with the stanford show. A couple weeks later, i had business in texas the first half of the week, so i just stayed down there and saw the houston shows and San Antonio. Think its just gonna be Des Moines, possibly minneapolis, and finals for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Train, bus? I can afford a trip no matter what. Time is a consideration for me, too. I'm flying or nothing. It just so happens that where I live here in the middle of WA, flights to the midwest are about the same as to the southwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Does driving 70 miles to Houston count as a long distant travel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
