Today levels are near historic highs, and it’s due to climate change. A winter with below average snow is due to climate change. A winter with above average snow is due to climate change. Look - my problem with this topic is that the political class (collectively among the dumbest groups there are), has taken this and is beating us over the head with it for cynical political gain. So I don’t want to hear it. Plus it violates posting guidelines. Rephrased "I'm going to blow hard about a topic that shouldn't be discussed because I don't want it to be discussed. I broach these kinds of topics all the time, just like I'm doing now. But then I'm going to end it with something like 'Now, back to the drum corps conversation' so it looks like that's all I want to talk about. But when someone else brings it up again, I'll make another disparaging remark, because that's what I do.

Tony L. Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The pit area was completely covered from the beginning. So they accounted for that much. Also, with respect to how wet the fround might have been, I would be shocked if an MLS stadium could not drain off one storm in at least 3 hours.

That's actually DCP's new tag line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all there is to it This is what happened according to several of my sources...I'm not blaming them...this is just what happened... Unfortunately, it indeed was the Cavaliers props that dug up the field...specifically the battery ramps on the field off to the left caused the problem. Cavaliers I'm told were seen by stadium officials attempting to replace the dug up grass divots as they finished their show as they were dragging their corps stuff off the field. At least Cavies were trying to fix it...but I don't know if this is anything like having to fix a divot on a golf course...you need to fix the divot within a specified period of time or it's ruined til replaced...

Tony L. Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Well I guess this proves that stationary props are just as damaging as moving props. Also, I love how any Cadets related threads can just go on forever! Yea needs to sponsor more shows. It will save DCP! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie1340 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 That's two unbelievable debachles I've witnessed in Drum Corps shows, last one was the "Moonlight Classic" at Sacramento State in 2012. At intermission, there was an extended delay, the the announcer finally came on the PA and kindly asked everyone to leave the stadium, for safety reasons. They couldn't get the stadium lights turned on, the organizers didn't get the key to the room where the switches were. So each of SCVC, BDB, Phantom, BD and SVC all had to settle for a standstill in the parking lot by their respective buses. No scoring for anyone at the event. That was the last of Sac State as the venue for The Classic. All those ticketholders screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who pays for Scientific Reviews in your field may have a variance in what gets reviewed or published. Your field is riddled with Dark money from Pharma companies who want nothing more than to profit from the research. So I can understand your views on the politicization of what Science it like. But I would venture to say that not all peer Reviewed science is like that. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/27/us/politics/climate-report-fact-check.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain or shine, because often times they can't be rescheduled due to stadium or the acts schedule. Even baseball rainouts don't always get made up. Until someone builds a dome in the region this is going to be what its going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
