What would happen if a travel restriction is placed on them after they are in that foreign country. In my opinion the risk is more with this plan than a trip to Indy. 2 hours ago, skevinp said: I must say that was my first thought. Maybe there are good answers, but it is certainly a worthwhile point to raise. I had similar thoughts. Wish BD well this summer. I hope they return to DCI next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneveld Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Earlier this week, I sent an email to DCI asking when we could be expecting to hear details about ticket sales. The following is the response I received: Quote Good Morning and thank you for your email, The office and corps are still working on the details for the 2021 events in Indianapolis and anticipate information to come out around the end of this month or the first half of April. We thank you for your patience at this time. Looking forward to provide updates to you and all the fans in the near future. DCI Support (I "bolded" what I thought was the important part of the response.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Neal's Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) The US cdc have travel information posted that people should avoid travel to Switzerland. They say all travelers should avoid all travel to Switzerland, their words not mine. Blue Devils are not catching much criticism here for indicating they are going to travel there. Many poop on the idea of corps going to Indiana but are not pooping on the Blue Devils. Edited March 13, 2021 by O'Neal's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, rather than criticizing the choices the Blue Devils or other Corps make for 2021, your time could be better spent by practicing your chosen instrument or piece of equipment. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD International is invited back to the Basel Tattoo which is a very big gathering. They went there back in 2015. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Continental Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 BD also met up with Top Secret the last time they were at the Basel Tattoo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s if DCI actually decides to have a championship. If so those naughty little Devil’s will take the big toy back to Cali AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the better way to describe this trip is representatives of the Blue Devils will be going to Switzerland. It is not the full corps doing a Swiss tour and for this upcoming season, that can work fine. If the full corps decided not to participate in 2022, the 50th anniversary year, that would be a different matter. As it is, travel safely and represent drum corps well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
