Florida Sun Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Bucs have two weeks between shows ,they where off last week-end and this week-end ,then they have the 16th there in Scranton ,and the 23rd is there show ? Most corps are seeing week-ends with no shows ,Cabs ,Sky ,Sun ,Bush,Cadets 2 ,the corps with the most shows this season looks to be Fusion .

BigW Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm not thinking the weekends off are hurting the Bucs. They know the old saying, "Practice for results, not for hours"... but they seem to do a lot of hours... and well, the results show it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyGuy66 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I always thought that having a few weekends without the benefit of seeing a judging panel would hurt. Obviously hard working members with a competent staff overcomes this perceived problem. Years back, it was unheard of taking ONE weekend off never mind a few.

If I remember correctly, and forgive me...my memory is starting to go at my extreme age, but in 2009 Reading performed in less shows than they are performing in this year and we all know how 2009 turned out.

I completely advocate taking a full weekend off...no rehearsal...at the end of July or early August. It's beneficial to get away, do something else, and recharge your batteries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOReason Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 the difference then was they were way ahead then. i think the staff was a little different and they have turnover since then.Not to mention the fact that in subsequent years Reading's program has become increasingly more...what's a good word?...difficult? And from what I've been told, and I will see for myself in Scranton, Readings 2014 program sort of pushes the envelope in terms of content for a weekends only drum corps. This, and obviously finances, probably plays a role in their decision to take additional weekends off. And it's bad for the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
