All three are huge money makers. There is also the possibility that other things will be taking place in Indy. I know in the past there has been some convention the week prior to finals with 30,000 participants. I don’t know if they use Lucas Oil but I do know hotel space is hard to get. first draft of 2022 schedule was done a while ago. Minimal condensation of tour length. Lots of things for everyone to complain about 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a downtown hotel with some very nice ladies attending a Women's Conference at the convention center. There were women everywhere at breakfast. Felt like I was in an elementary faculty meeting. (I don't think they were robots.) 😁 Edited August 20, 2021 by keystone3ply cx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one aspect I think will be hard to go virtual is guard training. Hard to train on tosses virtually unless all guard members are outside.

DrummerParent Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 If I understand correctly, Crown is “replacing” its November camp with virtual auditions. Basically, the first round of auditions is virtual and you have to be invited to the live camp (December I’m guessing). Could be beneficial to prospective members who want to audition for a couple corps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually mostly when guards have some smaller camps and auditions they are inside. Creatively there are more things I think that can be done virtually than ever thought before and will be utilized by staff . Now besides some technique close up or a members abilities alot of guard movement is also comparison to each other, this of course will be difficult virtually BUT I think more corps next year will utilize this as much as they can. Guards as a whole also never are full or together with everyone till after WGI. I don't think outside or in makes a heck of alot of difference anymore especially with the big shows indoors mostly.

Lots of things for everyone to complain about Until we know what Covid and its likely more mutations look like after schools reopen nationally, and the booster shot levels of effectiveness now that current vaccine optimal effectiveness appears to diminish after 5-8 months, its really still a bit premature what 2022 will look like here in August of 2021. The optimistic outlook is that Covid's recent rise in hospitalizations in all 50 states the last month will subside in the fall and winter. I prefer to be optimistic, and hopeful. I prefer not to think of the alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were going to Rolling Thunder at Johnstown PA. We were “that’s where we’re going today… oh bleep.. you mean hotels that far away are booked?”. Yeah it a mess getting around Johnstown that day… 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
