Poppycock Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) I’m glad that those naughty little Devils used good judgment to cancel the 2021 season yet planning their return to dominance again in 2022. #20 in 22. Do it up Devils! Edited December 3, 2020 by Poppycock 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, as it stands now with what little info is out there, this gig in the oil can should never have left the DCI offices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove past the BD hall this past summer and they constructed outdoor seating like restaurants do but bigger for bingo. Right now the 49ers can't play at home. They are playing their next two home games in AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbobcat Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) I presume DCI has been in discussions with the state and people who run Lucas. I wonder what they anticipate the number of fans to be allowed to attend will be. I also wonder many fans are going to want to attend in person. Maybe DCI is considering Pay Per View.

Was just thinking how many warm bodies are needed to pay for rental. Maybe DCI thinking of a one or two day only event to keep those costs down.

Tim K Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 After I heard the news this afternoon, I thought the event in Indy would be more a collection of corps sending representation to the event but we would not see full fledged competing corps in the way we are accustomed to see them. BD and SCV not participating only confirms this. I think the announcement is intentionally vague because the corps themselves do not know what this will entail. I think what we will see is more like a convention atmosphere rather than a competitive one and it could be like SoundSport on steroids. If health conditions allow, having something in August will be important, even if it is only just a morale booster. Getting 2022 up and running will be more difficult than most anticipate. That being said, it should not be held if it is not safe to do so, and unless DCI is getting Lucas Oil for free, audiences will be small and it could be a venture that will be a loss. Right now I do not anticipate paying airfare and hotels if I’m not getting three days of drum corps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
