Phantom56 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Can DCI pull off a compressed summer tour? I guess the next couple of weeks will tell the story. Housing might be the biggest obstacle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone-Tone Lord Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 A reduced number of performances of watered-down shows with extremely reduced rehearsal time is worse than no season at all. If there can't be a full, normal tour this year, then cancel the season and let the ageouts come back next year. Don't insult them by forcing this sort of substandard production to be all they get. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. "With the hope for a safe and vastly improved environment in the coming weeks..." -- that just ain't gonna happen folks. This pandemic is just getting started. This seems more about softening the blow when they have to REALLY pull the plug. Edited March 18, 2020 by ykw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, individual state governments can shut down “gatherings over x” at any time at any venue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
