Homestead High School (IN) was so ahead of their time, with a real live figure-skating performance IN their field show in 2017.

That was a great show.  Should have made finals.

I used figure skating to explain drum corps scoring to a newbie who follows figure skating. The scores are a combo of content and achievement.  Also, people perform in the reverse order of their score in earlier rounds.   And, come on, the guys wear tights! Just like drum corps.  

and less  mascara on the fellas.

What guys? This is not an all male activity.

No rain. A little breeze  no lightning as of now. Waiting. They made everyone leave the stadium even cleared the souvie area. I have never seen this for what in my opinion was lightning in the distance. I hope they don’t require everyone to show their tickets to get back in or it will take at least an hour. 

Lightning can lead and trail a front by quite a long distance.  It doesn't have to be raining or even "noticeably close" to be dangerous.  This incident in South Africa struck seemingly out of the blue as 'lightning was in the distance but not near enough to call the game.'

I like her choice of 27.  The first time I saw them was at VFW finals in 68 after they reorganized from the I.C. Reveries.  Still miss them even after all these years!!

I dunno. Crossmen are laying it on pretty thick this year.

It wasn’t raining when I was almost struck or did it rain afterwards.  That’s why i don’t mess with lightning.
