While I'll enjoy seeing Music City and Spirit again, why didn't Flo pick this show to broadcast?  Lots more Corps?

Flo is the sponsor at the Belton show so it only makes sense that as the presenting sponsor they broadcast that show. Plus it is close to their home office and yes the corps outside the top of the heap deserve some love as well.

I'll repeat some of what was said in the Broken Arrow show thread.

Belton is considered FloMarching's "home show" (they are based in the Austin, TX area). However, because the Denton show got upgraded from a high school stadium that could barely fit everyone to the bigger, better stadium at UNT this year, I presume lots of corps wanted to go to that show instead of Belton to experience a bigger crowd and better views for the press box judges. Meanwhile, the Belton show got moved last year from a college stadium to a high school stadium - still a nice venue with more seating than the previous one, but nothing compared to UNT.

I wish they would just move the Belton show to the Austin area, where DCI shows have been held in the past before the Belton show became a thing in 2015, but I get wanting to attract people from other areas of Texas such as Killeen and Waco that didn't get as much love on the summer tour previously.

(EDIT: Changed a couple words to prevent confusion.)

No one ever said they did not deserve some love. Fans-- like it or not want to be able to see the show with the most top corps. That is just a fact.

So you expect them to NOT broadcast the show they are paying to sponsor at Belton? They are broadcasting SA correct?  Are people so freaking entitled now that they can't wait less than 48 hours to get what they want? Perspective people....perspective. 

We live in an age now when drum corps can be broadcast live and you can watch from the comfort of your couch. This is done for what I consider and VERY reasonable amount of money given what you are getting. And with anything if you hate them so much stop watching.

I was pointing out the obvious reason people asked. 

No idea what rant you are on , about entitlement and waiting. 

I don't subscribe to Flo. Live in Texas. 

Your opinion on reasonable amount of money and others opinion are likely to vary. 

Flo is not providing a quality product or service in my opinion. as noted in your post above YMDV

I’ll be there! Wouldn’t be surprised if the show were delayed due to heat. It’s been absurdly hot lately.

Not really pointing to you specifically in this case but there has been much whining and nashing of teeth earlier in this thread regarding FLO not streaming the Denton show.
