Big, Loud, and Live ONLY in Theaters?

Tickets are already for sale on Fathom Events and I bought mine. I am driving 1.5 hours south to a nicer theater, but have a question. There are 39 corps listed to perform in pre-lims...is there a long intermission between the top 15 and those below?? The showtime starts at 3:30pm PST, pre-lims start at 6am PST if I am reading right on the DCI site. My concern is if Cascades don't crack the top 15, I don't want to miss them due to me having to do the 1.5 hour drive to the theater. 

In the past, there has been a 60-minute dinner break between the last corps on the stream (16th seed) and the start of the BL&L event (Top 15 seed). Here's the schedule from last year: http://www.dci.org/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=33500&ATCLID=211100089. I imagine that to accommodate one additional corps, the start time will be moved up. So if Cascades are sitting somewhere around 20th right now among World Class, I would guess you'd catch them sometime around 2pm PST on FloMarching.

and to confirm - 

flo will stream up until 16 - then the top 16 will be theater only?

it would be kind of decent if flo streamed the entire show -- 

That was my original question when I began this thread. I haven't heard any *official* word yet about whether Flo will stream the entire competition, but it's clear that BL&L is definitely playing in movie theaters still (but it's Top 15, not 16...so the stream will go up THROUGH 16th seed).

In my opinion, I would bet that flo would make more money selling the full stream Thursday - Saturday instead of just partial Thursday - 

 

 

Since it's not Pay-Per-View, I don't think it matters. I don't believe you can purchase individual shows--you either subscribe monthly or for a year. So they'd have our money either way.

 Ask and you shall receive. ( who says, DCP can't be informative, educational.. haha!)

 According to the DCI Office itself ( whom I just contacted ), Flo Marching will live stream the ENTIRE Quarterfinals... all Corps that will be there in the Quarters will be on FloMarching. com

 DCI will also pick up live in the theatre broadcast, the top 15 or 16 or so Corps in this Quarterfinals.... and live. DCI is not sure at the moment I was informed, the number, as that is still being worked on, but that is the aprrox. number of Corps anyway at the moment for the theatre live broadcast..

Just saw that SF Century 9 downtown is showing quarters. All 9 theaters have those new recline leather seats. So comfy.

nah. They should have hard plastic benches with no legroom so you get the feeling you're right in the stadium, ha, ha.
