How soon until the 2022 season schedule is announced?


Recommended Posts

It’s nice to know that the area around the Braves’ old stadium is better than what it once was. Unfortunately, as others have stated, I don’t think I’ll be making the trip to ATL this year. If I’m going to book a flight to see a show, I need the possibility of a rainout to be at just about 0%. And from my days living in that part of the country, I know just how rainy summers in the south usually are. I’ll definitely be watching on Flo though.

I can help but think how the Bluecoats show TILT would have LQQKED at this stadium...LOL

Exactly! 😆  I'm sorry but it's a horrible choice.  I thought Bobby Dodd would have been better as far as seating.  Hell, I'd rather go to the Powder Springs venue.  :spitting:

Looking at the schedule and the lineups, we will be cutting shows this year. We are looking at Detroit, Akron TOC, and Indy. That’s about all that’s worth going out of our way for this year.

So who had the idea to have a show in Delaware and NOT schedule Crossmen to be there? I know they've been based out of Texas for several years now but you'd think that would be a no-brainer based on their history.

And it’s not even like they’re showing much love to Texas either. They won’t be at the Houston show or any of the 3 Dallas area shows either. Color me perplexed.

This is the first time that I can remember (and possibly the first time in DCI history) where there are no shows in New York State. Even in the cancelled 2020 tour there were stops in Buffalo and a Syracuse-area show to replace the now-defunct Rome show.

There has been a decline in the number of shows in the Northeast for about ten years. Each year one or two shows will be removed. DCI would like to see fewer shows in larger venues that are centrally located. It does make sense on paper, but paper and reality can be two different things. I can’t speak for Buffalo or Rome, but most of the Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Eastern PA shows are in small to midsized venues with loyal and dedicated crowds who, as show sponsors will tell you do spend money and do donate to two corps that host many of the shows (BAC and Cadets), however the shows do not appear to be as crowded as they used to be and parking seems to be easier. So unless people have lost weight and are carpooling, numbers are down. I am also basing my observations on 2019 and prior, not 2021 which was an exception.

What I have noticed over the years is the newer shows tend to be where high school bands are strongest. I also attended NIGHTbeat and Atlanta a few years back and kids from high school programs fill the stands at both shows. That’s a demographic  many of the Northeast shows have not been able to tap, even Allentown.

It’s outdoors, too. Hard to justify to myself flying in with the chance of a rainout.   No can do. 

Atlanta weather is known here by the locals as "bipolar". That said, rain that time of year usually acts much like the florida thunder storms. It shows up and goes just as fast.
