DFA1970 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Darn. Darn. Was really looking forward to seeing BAC on Flo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigand said: When DCI didn't have a show in Florida, the Floridians here would complain about the schedule omitting them. Florida has the worst track record in the activity related to weather. At a certain point, DCI has to accept that it'll never change, and stick with areas where the likelihood of rain is minimal to none (like the Atlanta regional) Better for Florida fans to come to DCI than for DCI and the corps to waste the time and money to travel to Florida. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully DCI reverts the event back to the normal competition once that happens. There's no going back. Once it's deemed a standstill, things like props are put away back in the equipment trucks, the color guards typically don't bring their equipment, etc. Trying to make it back into a normal show would be unfair to groups that have already performed (if any) and would mean re-assembling props/re-warming up for guard/etc. Once it's a standstill, it's a standstill even if it dries up by the end. Just too difficult logistically Edited July 7, 2019 by rr4353 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows in Florida and Texas should be in covered, air conditioned, stadiums 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Too bad there isn't a domed venue in Florida...that would solve it. It is a HUGE expense for all the corps to go there just fot standstills. It isn't as if Orlando is on the way to the other shows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsxanax Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 So. If they’re in standstill mode, both BAC & Crown are at a considerable disadvantage. Two of the few, top tier corps that actually have any drill, in their drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummergirl Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 There is a domed venue but they just forced the FMBA to relocated their championships outside granted that will be in November not July. Then again with the Rays wanting to leave you might have a dome sitting empty in a couple summers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Well, it looks like I get to now make my yearly statement that nothing good comes out of Florida and do my annual repost of this wonderful gif 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m guessing Crown and BAC will still go 1 and 2 (in that order) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
