Seems like common sense, lol DCI never has been (and never will be) big enough on its own to build its own stadiums, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs are a terrific convenience. But while in my seat I can hear people talking as they relax in the club area. Maybe The Cavies will shut them up! Uh oh. Sounds like the old Georgia dome. I was in the last row of the lowest section and it was loud from the concourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand the concerns. In Texas the heat can be so bad, as we saw just a week ago, that it makes sense to use the Alamo Dome. Same is true in the South, such as Atlanta. For a big regional competition it ensures that the contest will go on without a hitch for the most part. The same, of course, is true to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy. The Midwest gets hit with lots of storms and rain in high humidity weather. However, we all know that for sheer great sound and fan enjoyment that there are better stadiums to use. It's a tradeoff for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I think the bottom tier corps have better shows than this next grouping. Just need the talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake W. Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 If I had to gander estimatedly on scores for that first block: Music City leads in 73 - 74 range OC & Genesis score closely, I'm guessing around a 72. Seattle Cascades bests Surf, and both come out in the 68 - 70 range. Wouldn't mind seeing one (or both) hit 70! Pioneer pleasantly surprised me, and I'd like to see them trailing Scades & Surf in the five point range, landing between a 62 - 65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluzes Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Could someone from dci please lend FLO some drum corps CD's the constant pounding from this music is worst than the side affects of Sounds of Silence. Figuratively or literally either way, that would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
