That happened to me at DCA last year. 

Not even going to lie, I was always a little mad that I didn't get double booked so I could get a better seat! Not that our seats were ever bad to begin with. That stadium doesn't have a bad seat in the upper deck.

What I found annoying was the stupid commentators who wouldn't shut up when the corps started. 

This!  Why cannot the commentators SHUT UP just before the first note?  Or FIRE THEM!  

I was looking forward to having Lindsey on the team, but she, too, could not SHUT UP.   What does Will Pitts offer?  Shuttling Dennis to the "history" role, was less than helpful.

If Steve cannot control the set, someone needs to find someone who can.

YMMV

Blasphemy! Reliable Rondo is a DCI institution. 

Have HIS people call HER people.

It was apparent that Ms.Vento wasn't quite ready for prime time.

I was surprised they didn't start her out on the sidelines.

Guess they we were looking for a different dynamic in the booth.

As far as makeup,it was harsh,but that may have  been due,in part,to the

lighting in the broadcast booth.

I don't know if Ms.Vento will grow into the position or not.

At least now she's got a few weeks to practice.

Several people sitting around my wife and I were saying that,based on her previous appearances,if she was willing,

and available, Janina Gavankar would have been a better choice.

 

Back in the day we made a lot of fun of poor Peter Emmons having to answer the questions of hosts Gene Rayburn and his lovely wife Helen, who knew little about drum corps but loved what they saw. That being said,  Rayburn supposedly loved doing the broadcasts and I thought someone claimed he did them pro bono. 

Maybe a DCI version of “Match Game” would be a great filler between corps. Brandt Crocker could be Johnny Olson, Steve R could take Gene Rayburn’s place, two random people could be contestants, and some of the more colorful DCI folks could be the celebrity panelists.

Trying to justify your bad actions doesn't make you right. It makes you George Hopkins like.

Why don’t you call Poppy Hilter for maximum effect?

Wow you’re fast. Got it before I could edit the name, which I still probably have wrong but I’ve now lost interest in the race to see who can be the most offended.
