gunther Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 This came close to actually happening. In the late '50's/early '60's, the Skyliners used rehearsal space above the Palace Theater. They would open the windows and the Broadway crowds were mystified to find the source of those great NY repertoires. The sight of some of Sky's more colorful characters roaming Broadway with their suspicious horn cases and ducking into hidden doorways was a rare pleasure for the corps. But that was a time when drum corps was a contact sport and anything could be seen on Times Square. Also known by some as "The Good Old Days". There's probably a decent book about these and other notorious events of many of those senior corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For shame. 🙂 When I was marching, I bet on the '82 DCI final 12 placements and won over $100.00.💰🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the town enforcing the curfew, not DCA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing what hoops have to be jumped thru and pieces need to exist and be in place I’m not going to criticize.

I gotta figure that a town's noise ordinance/curfew is not high on the list of championship venue issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
