Since Greater Cincy is less than an hour's quickened drive from Indy, is this Indy-shindig Cincy T.'s "show" (thinking that as your hubby is involved there.)??? Or has Indy airport decided DCA is the babysitters for all awaiting flights home, particularly the large number of cancelled flights, after the DCI corps finish their individuals end of season banquets at Indy hotels on Sunday? I can't see Indy hotels backing a DCA show for a few (smaller) corps in lieu of losing so many banqueters (corps banquets seem to average 250+ participants including mms, staff, faculty, families, and fans.)

Jim is no longer with CT. I have no idea. Speaking for myself, I didn’t go to the all-age show in 99 in Madison or 01 in Buffalo. Those shows were held on Saturday morning. I was told there were less than 1000 people who attended the Madison all-age show. People are pretty fried by Saturday after watching drum corps since Thursday morning. Another show is a tough sell IMHO. Edited November 17, 2019 by Terri Schehr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another show is a tough sell IMHO. I was at both as a fan and instructor. Madison looked to have a lot more than Buffalo. I like the idea but....you have the OC stuff Monday and Tuesday, prelims for 35-40+ corps Thursday, semis with 25 corps friday......and then finals. oh and the soundsport drum battle stuff saturday earlier in the day. thats a lot of drum corps, even for a diehard like me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, STLDRMN It must be those escorts I get from the Hoosier bubbleheaded cars to make sure I leave their State pronto. I get a bit confused as the Cincinnati, Ohio airport is in Erlanger, Ky.
