1956OPR Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 So, we have 7 of the 8 corps which performed in Dekalb last night and BStars in place of BKnights + a completely different judging panel for Warrensburg, all of which to me suggests a shakeup at the top from the Dekalb results, i.e., 1. Crown 2. Bloo 3. Mt. Diablo 4. Vanguard 5. Cadets 6. Rosemont 7. Regiment 8. BStars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brians Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) how does a bus breaking down last night mean they cant make their assigned show time tonight. I really don't get it. There has been more than enough time to have the bus fixed or a new one if leased brought to them. Or, cant they pack the 3rd bus into the other 2. We did this all the time when our busses broke down. strange since the cadets were to go on first....or maybe that's the issue Edited July 18, 2016 by brians 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrownBariDad Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 What happens then? Do they leave the bus on the side of the road or do they travel with spare parts, like water pumps and do the repair on the road? If it's not something easily fixed, most Corps contract with a bus company for the entire Tour who will be responsible for either repairing the bus or providing a replacement. While waiting for that to happen, those on the broken bus will double up on the other buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't shock me if part of that is cadets are assessed a timing penalty tonight or have to perform unjudged. Not sure of the specifics frankly. Someone else?

MikeRapp Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Their bus sat as still as a statue for hours and hours And then raced headlong to the show, coming to a screeching halt 6 feet outside the door of the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Dixon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Props are required, why not replacement buses... Sound smart. Corps should travel with an extra empty bus following them just in case. Same for the tractor-trailers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 my guess is Georgie didn't want to go on first... i was expecting a lot of negative reaction to this love being surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
