wolfgang 137 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Meanwhile, back at the ranch.... Statewide Indiana is at a 3.9 % positivity rate. As of Saturday 9 /26, places can open at full capacity, including large gatherings. August 2021 is a long way away, but barring the unexpected there would be no state-mandated reason DCI couldn't happen. 2 caveats - 1) cities can set their own guidelines, though the Indy mayor just got sued by a bunch of business owners. It would not be in his interest to be on an island from surrounding communities, though that's been the situation; and 2) after the destruction of riots/protests in June, plus the aforementioned mayor allowing the homeless to crap in the streets like San Francisco, I'm not sure DCI really would want to have Finals back in Indy regardless of whatever sweetheart deal they have. The city of Indianapolis has changed since August 2019, and not in a good way. Edited September 24, 2020 by wolfgang 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMHO TOB's virtual is gaining steam. it gives the kids a chance to perform, and get feedback. No scores, but it's been well received 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's gone and he ain't coming back. Ever. Rejoice that the old YEA properties are now under new leadership and can forge their own paths independently, without all his BS. 😁 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KVG_DC 7,380 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 My dad said Ft. Wayne bands have gotten the green light to perform at home football games. I know one school doing an 80 member band (they're usually bigger) and spread out stuff on the field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
