Michael Boo Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) The Berry Center, Cypress, (Houston) TX. Gotta love high school football in TX! The absolute greatest, most awesome, spectacular, spine-tingling best sound I've heard in any stadium anywhere. Even when the corps on the field is playing softly, one is enveloped by a glorious sonic blanket of sonorous brass. It doesn't even matter than one can see drums warming up behind the stadium...once the corps inside the stadium is playing, it's like having headphones on. Everyone within a few hours drive deserves to hear drum corps in this venue. Edited October 10, 2011 by Michael Boo 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another reason to go for 50-yard-line tickets there next summer! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yes; you'll experience nirvana in the best seats in that stadium. The other seats probably offer just pure joy spasms and not the hyper variety.

mobrien Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Very good to great: Warhawk Stadium (Whitewater) Ames Field (Michigan City) - all seats in between the 15s North Central College (Naperville) Mile High (Denver) TCF (Minneapolis) J. Birney Crum (Allentown) not deluxe, but a great vibe Avoid: Boylan Catholic (Rockford) - a total pit. Broken-down, uncomfortable, and charmless. Camp Randall (Madison) also a pit - but with more seats. Great location isn't enough to make up for terrible facility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 High School Stadiums in Ohio aren't too shabby either No, they certainly aren't. I'll be posting a couple in a future update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsudrummer Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Very good to great: North Central College (Naperville) It will even get better once they're able to have a show there that isn't rained out. Avoid:Boylan Catholic (Rockford) - a total pit. Broken-down, uncomfortable, and charmless. It's not the greatest stadium to play in, but it holds a special place in my heart as the first stadium I performed in. The Show of Shows is awesome.
