keystone3ply Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Don't forget the new COVID tax deduction of 'cash' donation of $300 for FY2020. I think it actually comes off of your tax liability or taxable income 'upfront' even if you don't itemize using Form 1040/Schedule A. Yea!!!! 😂. I'm planning my donation now... https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/special-300-tax-deduction-helps-most-people-give-to-charity-this-year-even-if-they-dont-itemize Edited December 30, 2020 by keystone3ply cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this as well. But I’ll be honest, I felt like I had my hands tied. I had no plans to attend bridge tour events in 2021, as it’s just a money grab with a few exhibitions at best. Would have much rather deferred my funds to 2022, especially the Super 3 package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Aces Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If the bridge tour for 2021 isn’t exactly going to be a competition, what are they possibly going to do for three straight days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, since this is a whole stadium number and not a one-side number, I wonder if this is one (of several) reasons why it will be a “showcase” rather than a competition. I.e. performances won’t be played exclusively to one side of the field. On a side note, I’ve heard that corps will have the option of being scored at Indy but I don’t know if that means they can optionally compete or just exhibit or if the scoring would be just for internal use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But non-competitive, possibly standstills of the same material for three straight days? I doubt they will have enough corps participation to divide up the groups and fill each single day (and I’m guessing nor would each corps want to participate if it is to only perform once in the three days). So will each corps get three performances? Will they narrow the field each day somehow as the three days go on? Will they be repeat performances each of the three days? Will each corps participating prepare three “shows” so they can have three distinct performances? I’m sure each corps participating wouldn’t play the same material three days in a row, so I am genuinely curious (as I’m sure everyone else is) what the plan and format for the event is.

Fred Windish Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Possibly this . . . Thursday - a 15 corps Prelims. Modified scoring with less emphasis on drill and movement Friday - Downtown support events as usual with a few additional standstill locations throughout the afternoon/evening. Outdoor Fanfest. Saturday - Top 10 compete for Champion, plus exhibitions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, nephew has Colts tickets. And 12,500 is spread across entire stadium, not just concert side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little bit I gathered from one corps, I think it’s going to be quite different but not sure what that means. Maybe i&e, drumline battles etc are brought into Lucas? Perhaps shows are presented kind of like parent day where the designers talk a little about the show and the groups (battery, fe, high brass, low brass, guard) showcase individually a bit? For a potential parent like me, I think that could be interesting for a one-off kind of year. Not sure how the general fan would perceive it.

Not sure how the general fan would perceive it. However DCI puts this together, if there will be a "champion", I for one would not be all excited. Maybe an asterisk to show that not all corps participated. I know, I know. In order to compete, you have to show up, but let's be real. DCP would have fun if there was a competition without several of the heavyweights. Almost like when top corps didn't compete in the VFW/AL Nationals. If DCI receives word from enough corps that they are showing up, they might put some type of competition together, otherwise, I'll still go with "it's more for marketing and future recruiting."
