I have no idea how the staff at Hebron got those kids to play/perform at such a high level but it was amazing to see in person! It’s a real shame they aren’t going to Grand Nationals this year because I’m confident this show would’ve won it all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're veering way OT here, but since it happened, I gotta say...that's impressive. I've never really watched much of marching band competitions. Obviously, I've missed out on quite a bit. How on earth do get that many high school kids to perform at such a high level? BITD, the only even semi-talented kids were all already in drum corps. Everyone else pretty much ....well, sucked. Even the woodwinds here were (dare I say) enjoyable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITD, the only even semi-talented kids were all already in drum corps. Everyone else pretty much ....well, sucked. Even the woodwinds here were (dare I say) enjoyable. Very impressive group indeed! Getting the thread back on track, the DCI Tour release usually comes during the 3rd week of November. (I went back to peruse my google calendar from Nov 2018 & 2019. Forget 2020.) So I expect it to be released by Friday, November 19th as they've started the teasers. Edit: 2022 Tour will be released on Wednesday, November 24th. (I missed that last paragraph for some reason.)

Z If they are announcing the full tour schedule, what does that say about the logistics of the touring members? Do they all/most have housing figured out? I wonder just how many schools are willing to commit to housing a drum corps next summer when some states are about to send kids home to remote learn again.

We usually host a corps every summer but haven't had any request to date. Our system just removed the 'mask' mandate at the end of Oct & we're moving at full throttle right now at the middle & high school level. The elementary schools are still practicing some of the cdc guidelines since most of those ages can't receive the vaccine. But hopefully that's changing this month for ages 5 & up.

I can’t speak for the rest of the country but Texas is “2019 level” open. Finding housing here won’t be a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
