Terri Schehr Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Seriously though, when the Cavaliers weren’t at their Lisle, Illinois show several years back, the place was dead empty. It hasn’t happened since, I’ve noted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure most corps sell less tickets to their “home show” it they can’t be there. This isn’t exactly rocket science or “elitism” - it’s somewhat common sense Seriously. Less corps at a show = less tickets. It's not like he said the show would be not worth going to anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting Guidelines: Members shall not post -- --profanity, or circumvent the word filters in place I suspect the profanity filters were part of a package deal and perhaps cannot be altered even though they are so encompassing as to include innocent words that are regularly on prime time TV and no one over 5 years old would be offended by.

So here is a case that bolsters the opposite opinion of mine...that is fine with me....someone should take notice to Terri's post as a better way to respond than being all snarky and over defensive and trying to start trouble...thanks for your input Terri... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Of course, it could be a completely different scenario out east. Here in Illinois, if the Cavaliers or Phantom aren’t at their own shows, people aren’t showing up. In fact, the only reason I went to the aforementioned Lisle show sans the Cavaliers, was that my kid was there with the Scouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attend this show every year REGARDLESS of the corps that perform at it...get over your elitist attitude dude...it was this mentality that almost ruined the activity just a few short years ago. </rant> well um no. they're kinda a huge deal locally. and as a result, many folks will turn out just to see them because of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
