MotoSurfBass Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Is The Perkiomen School available? I know the Bluecoats rehearsed there before the Chester show in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper Perkiomen I'm sure was a no (as an alumnus, their administration is horrid and their AD refuses anything but football to hold practices on the main field), but there is a separate, private school in the same town. That was where the Bluecoats rehearsed in 2016, and I believe another WC may have last year as well. https://www.perkiomen.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 2 hours ago, WaxDCIFan said: Grow up? Really? There are 300 performers out there from OC and Genesis who don’t have a place to lay their head the night before the show, and two of them are mine. And it’s a huge challenge for the staff who are responsible for keep these young folks safe in the road to have a hole in the schedule this close to the event. Just sad that housing is so difficult for this big regional show, even worse this year for so many reasons. I hope OC and Genesis don’t end up in a subpar housing situation because of the bad behavior of others. this regional has been a challenge for a while for the actions of several corps over the course of decades. the other issue is more and more schools do not want overnight guests or outside groups on their property. You should see the hoops some have to jump thru to host a band competition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
