Let the mods decide... I don’t want to get individuals in trouble, I just want to generally encourage us all to be nicer to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe ingesting large quantities of Toblerone makes one less susceptible to getting infected with Covid because no one with Toblertone wants to be around other people (potentially with Covid) who may want you to share your Toblerone. It's best to have the Toblerone all to yourself. Also, when it is that size, it makes a good social distance ruler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to Zurich almost 30 years ago, a Toblerone that size was $10. A regular coffee was $5. A Big Mac was $10 (just the sandwich itself). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jast45 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Looks like Bluecoats will be there (not Switzerland. Lol) but indianapolis “2021, here we come! After a long year of disappointment and uncertainty, we’re finally optimistic about bringing The Bluecoats back to the field this summer. With health and safety at the forefront of our planning, Bluecoats have a structure in place to allow us to safely create, rehearse and perform on a limited basis this summer! We recently hosted a webinar with the 2021 Bluecoats auditionees to discuss these plans for the upcoming season, which includes “spring training” in July, digital content creation, and several live performances in early August. The season will culminate in the DCI World Showcase August 12-14 in Indianapolis, where we will finally bring the Bluecoats Experience back to the world stage! Of course, the health, safety, and wellness of our community remain our utmost priority; as the situation changes surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, our plans and protocols may change too. That caveat notwithstanding, The Bluecoats can’t wait to perform for you again this summer! Stay tuned for exciting show reveals in the coming weeks!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We believe that what we have planned for this summer is undoubtedly one of the most unique and rewarding experiences ever offered by a marching arts organization.” In other words they’re not going to waste the organizations money attending a meaningless silly event in sterile town USA just to keep DCI afloat. They’re actually providing an lifetime experience for their members. The love for the BD organization is strong in this one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, but there are some new posters that like the "passive-aggressive" style of approach & would probably argue with a brick wall. Go back & read the entire context of their previous content. I was thrown 'under the bus' a couple of times but chose not to respond. (Patting myself on the back.)

Without drum corps to break the monotony. I felt the same way about Rochester and DCA. Ok free day before Prelims, sleep in, eat good, stock up at WalMart out past airport and Wegmans warehouse. Drive around or hang out with group to kill time. Have dinner and go to I&E and mini competition. Rinse... repeat in another year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
