Allen HS in Dallas TX

Repeat: that's a HIGH SCHOOL stadium.

Ah, Texas. Nothing but the best for their bands and their football.

[StarOrg]

We played our high school football games at the Florida Citrus Bowl (home games). But as far as building a stadium FOR high school football... that's crazy! I see from the pic though looks like they get a decent crowd. Our games filled about 1/365 of the stadium.

I see from the pic though looks like they get a decent crowd.

The official seating capacity for that place is somewhere between 16,000 and 18,000... for a high school.

Today's events:

Open Class and Class A corps will be extremely busy today, as I believe every corps in both divisions is competing. Evanston Township HS in Evanston IL is hosting one event, while in Cleveland, the slate of attending corps is so large that event will be split into two venues at Avon Lake HS on the west side of town and Mentor HS on the east side of town.

World class corps will be no less busy, as we have a new event taking place at the Stadium of Champions in Hopkinsville KY as a lead-in to Louisville, while down south, a colossal contingent of corps competes at the Kelly Reeves Stadium in Round Rock TX.

Today's events:

While open class and class A corps will be competing at two sites in Dayton OH, specifically UD's Welcome Stadium and Careflight Field in Springboro OH, World Class corps will be attending one of two focus events at the Alamodome in San Antonio TX and at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in Louisville KY.

7/28: 150/115/85

point increase?

[Galen]

The final score update of the season has been put in. Remember to USE the points you have- they're the key to success in this league.

Monday's events:

World Class corps start winding their way out of the south with events at Broken Arrow HS in Broken Arrow OK and the Berry Center in Houston TX. An additional event will take place at Baldwin HS in Pittsburgh PA for corps who competed in Louisville on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Open/A event in Harrisburg PA will be split between Central Dauphin District Stadium and Musselman Field in nearby Gettysburg PA.

Today's theme is small lineups spread out across several venues, including Bentonville HS in Bentonville AR, Veterans Stadium in Erie PA, Cajun Stadium in Lafayette LA, and the Winchester KY event being split between George Rogers Clark HS and Montgomery County HS in nearby Mt. Sterling KY.

And a special welcome to two new corps, the White Knights and Phantom Brigade, who made late-season debuts in Pittsburgh and Harrisburg last night.

[Galen]

Today's events:

Open class and Class A corps continue their split-venue schedule tonight in Syracuse NY. Tonight's events will be held at Bragman Stadium in Cicero NY and Liverpool HS on the west side of Syracuse.

World class corps will also be in the upstate NY area at Rome Free Academy in Rome NY as well as two Div 1 university stadiums in Murfreesboro TN's Floyd Stadium and, for the first time, Southern Miss's MM Roberts Stadium in Hattiesburg MS.

Happy August! The season is building to a fever pitch as several corps broke 90 last night. Here's what's on tap for today's events:

World class corps will have a double-dose of southern shows at Rip Hewes Stadium in Dothan AL and Tupelo HS in Tupelo MS. Up north, a new event will be featuring several top-ranked corps at McGuirk Stadium in Amherst MA.

Open class/Class A corps will be at a split event taking place at Dobyns Bennett HS in Kingsport TN and Science Hill HS in Johnson City TN.
