Popular Post oldbandguy Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) The annual DCI Tour of Champions - Presented by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival takes place on Monday, August 5. The show moves from long-time home at Paul Brown Stadium in Massillon to the University of Akron's InfoCision Stadium. While Massillon was a great home for many year, the show has grown to the point that a larger stadium was required. Ticket sales have been high, but some good seats are still available. The ticket window will open at 3:00. Gates will open about 5:30. Show begins at 7:00. Please note - DCI handles the ticket sales for this show. They are expecting LONG LINES at the ticket window because of the large number of on-line sales in the past few days (too late to mail tickets). I would advise those still needing to buy tickets to get to the ticket office as soon as it opens, go to dinner, come back for the show. During intermission there will be some activities with the PFHOFEF folks (introduction of the queen and her court, etc). During the encore there will be a recognition of the Bluecoats Hall of Fame, Bloo Ribbon, and Unsung Hero recipients. Bloo arranger/composer Doug Thrower will also be recognized. Alumni corps members will join the current corps for the playing of "Autumn Leaves"...and yes, "The Boxer" will be heard. Here is the lineup (and a GREAT one it is): 7:00 PM Welcome & National Anthem 7:10 PM Rhythm IN BLUE - Canton, OH (SoundSport Exhibition) 7:20 PM Crossmen - San Antonio, TX 7:37 PM Phantom Regiment - Rockford, IL 7:54 PM Mandarins - Sacramento, CA 8:11 PM Blue Knights - Denver, CO 8:28 PM Intermission 8:45 PM Carolina Crown - Fort Mill, SC 9:02 PM Boston Crusaders - Boston, MA 9:19 PM The Cavaliers - Rosemont, IL 9:36 PM Santa Clara Vanguard - Santa Clara, CA 9:53 PM Bluecoats - Canton, OH 10:10 PM Encore...Ladies and gentlemen ONCE AGAIN...The Bluecoats 10:35 PM Scores Announced Edited August 5, 2019 by oldbandguy 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OhioBoy_99 Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Took my mom to the DCI premiere in theaters to expose her to her first "show". Wanted to get her somewhat into the activity but didn't expect her to be as blown away as she was (very happy she was I might add). The tour dates played in between the performances and she saw there was a show in Akron (live about 30 minutes away) and she turned to me and said "We're going". And now it's almost here and I couldn't be more excited to be taking her to her first live show as well as a few other family members. Can't wait for tomorrow to get here!!

Popular Post DasTuba Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I'll be there tomorrow with my 10 year old daughter who will be entering her 4th year in winterguard this season, she says she wants to become a member of Crown or BAC guard when she's older. What better way to have quality father daughter time than live drum corps!! It's our first and only live show this year and we can't wait!

Cadevilina Crown Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Not a good slot for Crown to be in if they want to catch SCV... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevergreen Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Will be there. Ecstatic this show is at Infocision…..I hope I get in. I ordered my tickets in June, never received them so called about 3 weeks ago and they said they would send them again. I still do not have them, but I do have a confirmation number in an email.

DCI, not the Bluecoats, handles the tickets for the show. I would suggest you get to the ticket window when it opens at 3:00. Be prepared for long lines the closer it gets to show time. A lot of tickets were sold in just the past few days, too late to be mailed, so Will Call is going to be a busy place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jast45 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 After seeing Bluecoats in buffalo and feeling the energy they brought, i predict the crowd will go insane in akron when they see them. It will be one amazing night with all these corps and with the akron crowd. Wow bring it on Bloooo! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
