How about Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel and PoPo the Clown they might sell more tickets to these DCA show’s. LOL 😂 considering how indoor is driving the design of DCI, which is driving the design of DCA... its not far fetched. they're also easy to host, and cheap to accommodate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having started in 1974 you can imagine the changes I’ve seen over 4 1/2 decades. All I can say is if it keeps the activity alive, then more power to it.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the water and all that, it's a logistics thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old alumni corps have brought in fife and drum, minis and would get a brass band if the schedules would fit. And that show is the only spring drum corps concert that regularly has a sold-out house. Nice mix of alumni corps plus other groups, like you mentioned. For one, the Baltimore-based Federal City Brass Band, which plays Civil War-era music on authentic period instruments (and they are good at it) has been a big hit at the Lancers' show the last two years. The Lancers certainly are doing something right with that event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil War era and about 15 miles from Gettysburg go figure 😉 Edited October 10, 2019 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give more groups access to a performance, as well as ticket holders a few more pieces of entertainment, and they all may come back for more. stop being logical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
