N.E. Brigand Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 And a P.A. system with speakers so far from the audience that there is a notable lag, for instance, when someone right in front of you is singing the national anthem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePlanets Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I am always dissapointed that this show runs opposite of Massillon. Great lineup and a show that I would love to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precious Roy Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I watched many a show at "The Vet" as a kid, and even got to perform on it a handful of times. My memories include being blown away by Spirit of Atlanta in the late 70s, SCV doing their tunnel uniform change, and Garfield Cadets performing in shorts and t-shirts once because their uniform bus broke down. My first drum corps memory is being at a packed Vet, and watching the old Erie Thunderbirds beat the defending champs Pittsburgh Rockets at some ICA or RCA championship show back in the 70s. The crowd went bonkers when they announced that score. I also liked to sit at the top of the stands, and watch the parade of on deck corps marching down the hill on French Street. I'm glad they still have shows there (or, have moved back there). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
