The only way for this to get back on track is for schools to go back in the fall. If there is another pull back or shutdown then it is doomed. The secondary question is if schools and other facility (housing, stadiums, etc) will consent to be used by outside groups. Especially when outside means outside of the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housing has been an becoming more of an issue every season,with corps having to stay further and further from a show site. Covid won't make the situation any better. I think the Covid pandemic,"second wave" or not, is going to be another reason schools will use to not allow corps to stay,unless they pick up all costs,including the cost to clean/sanitize when they leave.

And lot of fear/concern from school boards, parents and tax payers that this could erupt again. My feeling is teaching in school will be back but anything else is a big question mark or what it will look like. interesting note in an email I just got regarding a car show that was rescheduled in Allentown. Hosting facility demands everyone attending to sign a liability waiver in case they get sick at the event. So let’s throw insurance costs and what the insurance company wants into the mix. Keep thinking my old church didn’t worry about child predators until the insurance company kicked them in the butt. Something about lower rates with background checks and training got them moving Edited June 9, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a vaccine on the most optimistic timetable, then next summer it should be safe for people to be in close quarters. It's this fall and winter that present the challenges. And the uncertainly of not knowing for sure that activities will be safe next summer will make it difficult for corps to schedule shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It might have already been mentioned in various threads, but so many activities may have to wait for a viable vaccine to be in place before anything happens. A very good CYA vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
