The OC corps work just as hard! When people support OC the same way they support WC it will happen, Not until, verbal support without butts in the seats are only words 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also some alumni corps who perform exhibitions at the show. If you emptied the stands of the parents of Spartans and 7th Regiment and the members of the alumni corps, I would estimate there would only be a handful of people. It may be a location issue. It is held most years in Manchester, NH and Greater Boston may be a better location. Better publicity could help, but it is usually a great show and fans who don’t attend are missing something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On tour, sad ,but many of these corps perform to empty stands. Even smaller wc corps compete with the #### parking lot for attention. As I said over the years, talk is cheap, action works. WGI realized this a long time ago with A class. The hand that feeds them. Edited April 23, 2021 by GUARDLING 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves. i think Buffalo in 01 was good too, but yeah it was...the 2 for 1 deal they ran in the paper helped, and man what a lineup of corps. i also loved when the SCV A corps came running to cheer on SCVC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
