If it doesn’t smell like Schlitz that’s been laying on the floor since the place was built it ain’t like the Vet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to some Boys (Spirit?) of 76 members and hear a HOLY #### just in time to see it hit the ground and bounce a few times as fortunately Crusaders were backfield. Security knew who it was as people around were all pointing at him. Drug him out bodily. whadda way to be introduced to drum corps....

I always heard that tunnel at the vet was covered with dead rats. Well, so was LCS. In 2006 In fact later that day, the band I taught was the last group off of the turf after awards...may have even technically been Monday morning by then.....and 6 hours later, they were there ripping the turf out so they new owners, the Yankees, could put in real grass. We drove that morning to see if we could get a piece of the turf, but word was it was being sent to a state school 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2006 There was a porta-potty in that dugout at the Scranton stadium.... when I worked the DCA shows there I'd use the porta-john in a pinch if I didn't have time to make it up to the concourse. But wow, it was a bit scary under there. LOL. Always made sure I had a flashlight to see where I was going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 And then there was the time when a seat jumper sitting in my seat demanded to see my ticket before he'd show me his. Ha! Mine was hanging around my neck. It was fun. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass Lover Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 On 10/22/2018 at 12:53 PM, N.E. Brigand said: A friend of mine is a professional music critic. He was so moved by a visiting orchestra's performance of a Bruckner symphony that he applauded following one particularly expressive movement. Another music critic who writes for a larger media outlet in the same city noted in his review that someone had disrupted the concert by applauding in the middle rather than waiting until the piece was concluded, as is the normal etiquette these days. Mind you, when that symphony was written, it was still regular practice to applaud between movements. As for stadium etiquette, I've noticed in the marching band world that Bands of America pays lip service to the idea that one shouldn't enter or exit the seating area during performances, but they do absolutely nothing to enforce that, at least not at their regional events. A week ago at their Canton competition, there was a steady stream of students and parents in and out all day while bands were playing. Maybe the regionals in your area. All the regionals I've been to in Texas heavily enforce that. There's even someone there that could tackle you, but most of the time I think I could take 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple stories about them... probably good for another thread. LOL. And it wasn't just for the drum corps/band events, either. A buddy saw them hassle a guy at one of the baseball games... the guy was told by one of the gendarmes to stay in the tunnel between the seating sections and not head to his seat during an inning... then another gendarme came by and gave the guy a hard time for standing in the tunnel!!! Ya can't make this stuff up. Edited October 23, 2018 by Fran Haring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
