If you don't have supply,it doesn't matter. That's what NJ did. Our Governor keeps expanding eligibility. But,given the limited vaccine supply,all that's done is make it even harder to get an appointment. Acting Secretary of Health in PA just ordered a “speed up” in giving vaccinations so state can meet its goal of finishing first group by a certain date. As a cynical ex govt employee who worked in a supply agency I don’t see any info on logistical plans to “make it so”.

Sounds like there’s still no “official” name for the August event, but Dan kept using the world “Celebration” Season will definitely be non-competitve and expect most shows to be shorter in length DCI is announcing more plans on March 31st. It sounds like there will be a couple more DCI sanctioned events, especially one in Allentown. DCI has formed a committee of corps directors and other advisors to create a reopening plan. The plan both gives guidance to how corps should operate and how DCI will operate events. Ultimately, a lot of decisions will be left up to the corps themselves on how best to operate and serve their members. It needs to be kept in mind that DCI is still at the mercy of local health officials and ordinances in terms of hosting events. Some corps will not be traveling to Indy in August nor are fielding a corps altogether, but no corps have yet to fold completely A bit of discussion on the state of SoundSport & Drumline Battle and where those programs are headed Dan made what seemed to be a half jokingly comment that maybe the roof at Lucas Oil will open at some point Allentown will depend on what the state is allowing. i know some fans are allowed at Phils games, but that stadium is set up better to hand social distancing if it's still in effect if they do host something, i'll probably just tail gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic timing alert: PA just hit a million Covid cases 🥵 hotels. i'd be amazed schools let anyone in this summer down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a life long PA resident that’s just a sad number to me no matter how one looks at it. Just a reminder of the few people I knew who didn’t recover And as for me using it as “shock value”, don’t delude yourself that you can read my mind. Just ironic that I saw we hit a million right after I saw Allentown, PA being mentioned as possible show site. And if you want to argue over anything I posted, argue with yourself. Not worth my while... hey now...he's a first chair dominator. respect his medical acumen! ( just making joke, not taking a shot at anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaleefree Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I would be surprised if they were to announce an Allentown DCI event. From what I have seen in corps that have announced their summer intentions most have some idea that they would be regional in the midwest and maybe some type of a texas tour for corps in the southwest. Going to Allentown would be completely out of sync with their previous intentions and entail a great deal more tour planning and expense. Things are changing quickly but in my mind (which is wrong quite often) I don't see an Large Allentown event happening. Maybe BAC and Cadets doing an exhibition, but not a major event.
