Have you reached that point where if you never see another one you won’t feel like you missed anything? 

Your question might be a good topic to start PC.  For me, have only been to one and don't see the need to do it again.

Another "what if" scenario. What if the competitive aspect was completely removed from the activity and corps just performed with no pressure to keep up with Joneses, if you will. Would you still attend drum corps shows, then?

Weren't you there with on BAC's dime? 

Not the corps dime, but the money that many of us donate each year, minus my personal costs for flights, additional meals, etc.  Volunteering that final week (something I’ve always wanted to do) has nothing to do with my reason of seeing no need to go to Indy, itself, for three nights.  That was the premise of Poppycock’s question to Terri.

If when I drive by Indy in June it’s the last time I’m there, I’m fine with that.

That’s a very interesting question.  I care a lot more about the entertainment value, but part of that is the high quality of performance, and I wonder if that quality would be there if there were no competition to incentivize it.

100 days (give or take a month - my math is lousy) and we will be reading the reviews from LaCrosse!

Or ... have you been sickened by the ever growing list of sexual predators, harassers, bullies, bigots, those who would starve a corps or blatantly disregard the health and well being of MMs, (and their enablers) that have been revealed in recent years?

And response from above seems to be making a policy is the be all and end all. Not to mention that Covid policy that some people have seen somewhere at sometime but is it on DCI webpage?
