Wow. That’s cutting it kind of close. 

Brings back nightmares from the days with my local-circuit junior corps, when we cut it way too close at any number of shows because we...well... didn't know when to stop rehearsing. :tongue:

"OK guys... off the bus, get your equipment, and out to the field... we're on next!!!"  LOL

We had some shows like that but when it came to championships, they had us there a couple days before and even woke us up at the exact same time we had to be up on the day of prelims.

That's because you guys had an actual championship-level corps.  :lol:

Compared to that, we were weekend duffers.  LOL.

Ahhh, finals... what a concept.  LOL.

Made one final in six years in juniors (other than our circuit finals)... Class A at Key to the Sea, 1974. That was a fun weekend for us!!!

I know this is minor in comparison to the competitive aspect, but., with this change, let's face it, there are likely to be even fewer people at prelims than some of you here have been predicting. That means, essentially, that the corps' merchandise operations are losing a day of sales. 

If you weren't planning to buy corps swag, please find it in your budget to buy something from your favorite . If you were planning to buy something from your favorite, please consider buying from your second and third favorite also.

On a related note, I can't wait to reveal the special DCA weekend limited edition Cabs "Out of the Box" T and tank design Saturday morning!

Sucks if you don’t get the word and drive up for Finals... Sunday.....

but can understand as have the DVDs from 2006 Ernesto Prelims.... well the corps that could be recorded before bid crew played it safe/smart and packed it up. Think CV was last Prelims corps filmed and half their show has no sound.

Thinking flashback of same day Prelims and Finals and being a bubble corps. Kill yourself for Prelims and if you make Finals try to rest up and get something back in the tank for the evening.

Too bad doesn’t apply this year as no one left out....

This is the other shake-up news going on about DCA.  

And to think Terri, I always thought you and Jim were talking about some alcoholic beverage you like to imbibe when visiting contests. Sorry.
