denmum Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Anybody else see the Ghostlight segment on CBS Sunday Morning? They did a 10 minute segment about Broadway Theaters and their use of a ...GHOSTLIGHT. How prescient of Blue Devils. Now-were they prescient of Broadway Theater or Drum Corps? I guess they were inadvertently warning us that BOTH would go dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially someone who does not post here that often, whose post has done no harm to anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostrauser Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 2 hours ago, skevinp said: I think you are the one who doesn’t understand. Incorrect. The Blue Devils show didn't "predict" the shutdowns of theater performances or the DCI season simply by using a ghostlight as the basis for their show, because ghost lights are often used every day regardless of whether the theater is open or not; i.e., they are not a predictor of a theater being open or closed long-term.

Dear god, man, she obviously wasn’t saying it was a literal prediction. It was just a light-hearted play on the notion of DCI and theaters going dark. Next you will be correcting us for believing that a chicken could have the ability to comprehend a transportational thoroughfare as a boundary to an extent sufficient to formulate an actionable objective of transitioning to a different position relative to that boundary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks skevinp-you just said it ten times better than I could. You summed it up beautifully. Just for the record though I am a man, an old man and an old but enthusiastic member of Friends of DCI since '83 and an even older fan of Drum Corps since my 1st show in '64. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
