Well…. No. In some cases it allowed some corps to go out and do shows that helped them reconnect with fans and alumni. 

And this year they have turned 180 degrees from it.  It's like all the avant garde stupidity from last year came rushing out this year.

Hey Counsel - Can I sue Flo for incompetence? 

It would end up being class action with 15K other people and we would all get a settlement of $1.32

Although I'm not a lawyer, I am a part-time Llama Psychologist. 

What is currently the trending "hot topic" in Llama Psychology? MDD, Autism Spectrum Disorder? Fears of contracting West Nile Virus?

Because not everyone's a masochist like me who looooooved marching in extreme heat! That' said, I'd be a beneficiary of a finals in Texas so I wouldn't be upset.

I thought I was immune after marching in the south in my DCI days. I LURRRVVVEEEEDDD the heat. Now I'm old and I want it to be a constant 74 degrees at all times.

Can you identify which anxiety disorder this Llama is displaying? 🧐 

 

 

I am going with Generalized Anxiety Disorder with a healthy dose of ADHD. And extreme derpy cuteness....

Honestly, the deep south was the way worse than Texas or Florida IMHO. At least Florida rained us out sometimes. The deep south was just swamp-### all day every day, relentless.

Essentially, where the corps are now. That was the toughest for me.

Agreed. We call it "Hotlanta" for a reason. 

All of this being said, member safety for me 10000%. And this INCLUDES things like heat IMHO. It's not just about safety from predatorial practices and abuse/potential abuse. 

We are 1 incident away from a lawsuit taking down the activity. That's a reality. And let's be honest enough to realize that the most likely cause of such an incident would be from an abuse scandal rather than an issue due to scheduling or heat issues.

Ooooo, here is a good one. Open a camp for those that are wanting to learn more about drill designs. Gives us woodwind players a shot at getting into the world of dci.

Henlo fellow former-masochist! LURVED me some good, sweaty runs, rite?

I now live somewhere with perfect summers that never get above 80 and features afternoon monsoons. Related? Probably. 🙂
