It is hard to believe flo - dci did not see this or anticipate this. 

Guessing the usual flo supporter or ers will be replying to my post in a few minutes. Got to prop up flo. Tell me how great they are and how rich they are. :help:

I am sure they did. Hasn't Broken Arrow been the site of many technical glitches in past Flo attempts to broadcast there?

Possible that the lesson Flo took away from trying to do Broken Arrow in 2017 (which IIRC was a fiasco on the level of Buffalo 2013 when the stadium crew provided two handheld sideline cameras and a single shotgun mic) was not "do better," but rather "never do Broken Arrow again." Which is silly.

Belton is basically Flo's "home show" (closest show to Austin), so I can understand choosing to sponsor it. And if it's the show you sponsor, you might as well broadcast it. Not saying I agree with their logic, but I can understand the thought process that got them to this scenario.

In the meantime, there's an awful lot of not-Finals=irrelevant in the Belton take, which...ain't a great look, y'all.

my thoughts on BA as well.

I wonder if the the Flo marching sponsorship of the Belton show was known to the corps in their choice of what show to perform at and a conscious decision was made by the corps to perform at the Denton show in defiance of FLO.

these Texas shows have historically been split up evenly to ensure a good draw at each show.

There is an obvious disparity between the two shows this year.

I went back and looked to check my recollection...Broken Arrow 2017 was the show where sound didn't come on until a minute into BD's show.

there were several issues that evening if i recall....DCI even had to release a statement about it

I wasn't necessarily saying that the Belton show wasn't worth watching at all, but compared to Denton that same night, it's a bit of a let-down, especially considering that those two shows used to have around 10 corps each as opposed to 13 at Denton vs. 6 at Belton this year.
