BOBSMYTH Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Rutgers Stadium looks like a great location for a drum corps show. Here's some info and a picture: http://www.scarletknights.com/football/stadium/stadium.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'm glad I double-checked this. I was about to book a flight to Annapolis for that weekend, and just wanted to make sure the show was still there. When I checked the schedule, it wasn't, so I checked here on dcp for that info. Ugh!

Old Corps Guy Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 It looks like the comments are what I expected from this string. NY/Philly love it. Everyone else, not so much. I was at both of the shows and while they were good shows early in the season, they weren't the great show that the TOC is going to provide.

Old Corps Guy Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 I have a hunch this may not be the only time this show moves. Hopkins and YEA have tried to get shows at big venues in NJ before like Rutgers and the Meadowlands, but have wound up moving them to places like Clifton because of availability issues.

Old Corps Guy Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 I just hope this was a scheduling issue and not a way to make a big weekend for NYC/Philly. Same crowds for a weekend and then the same crowds the following weekend at finals. Not waht I would call an outreach to build a fanbase. There are no football games scheduled at Annapolis in early August, so I am not sure what else would be using the Navy-Marine Corps stadium on a Sunday night. The DC area would have been able to pack the stadium with a big show like the TOC. Instead, they get shows with a couple of the top corps in Arlington, VA and Warrenton, VA. small shows = small crowds. BIG SHOWS! = BIG CROWDS!

glory Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 While I feel sorry for the folks in Maryland, I am delighted at the prospect of my family joining me to see a late-season show. Allentown was just too big a committment for my wife. In Piscataway, she'll have no excuse. Four tickets please. In fact, I'll take eight. Neighbors coming too. Maybe my folks? Make it ten.

audiodb Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 So why was the show moved? Will we see a "DCA 2012 moved to...." thread next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Bummer. I teach in the same county as Annapolis and try to convince my students to go because of the close location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
