Heh...when i was in HS, one of our newer school didn't have a stadium, so they played their home games at OUR school.

One time they played us -- as the visiting team -- and their people started that spirit cheer.  My band responded "We've got a stadium yes we do!  We've got a stadium, how 'bout you?"

*Cricket, Cricket, Cricket*

My school district had two HSs and one stadium. When the schools played each other we had to take turns being home and visitors. Kicker was the stadium was on the one schools grounds. So it was “yeah we’re visitors but walked from the band room and across the parking lot to get here” 🙄

I can imagine it now; DCI 2024

In the middle of their show Blue Devils form an arc.  Cheerleads, Dance Teams, (whatever) leap from the sidelines doing backflips and summersaults on their way to the center.  B.D. plays the latest hit from Lizzo while said cheerleaders do a choreographed dance routine.  They scamper off the field and B.D. wins their 22nd championship.

Shoot me.

Firecracker! Firecracker! Sis-Boom-Ba.  Blue Devils! Blue Devils! Rah-Rah-Rah!!

It was just over a year ago that we pondered the activity evolving with the vote on woodwinds.

Now we ponder the survival of the activity. 

It feels like it's been 10 years since that vote was taken. 

How long until someone says it can’t survive without woodwinds?

It is coming.  They'll say 'No competition summer 21; lets go for max participation & allow woodwinds (& cheerleaders)'.  And then at Jan 22 Rules Convention woodwind  proposal will rear its ugly reed.
