True.

Y'all have domes though, so it'd have to be there.

Most corps still have to rehearse in outdoors in Texas tho. Brutal.

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

Great point!

Texas doesn't have indoor practice facilities?

I know Las Vegas has a bunch, so, maybe corps could rent those out?

Just wondering about affordability. Not one to shoot down good ideas, generally.

I never got to rehearse indoors but it sounds dreamy. Would take the edge off for MMs and staff!

Based on what? Indy is an 8 hour drive from my home. West Coast is totally out of the question. 

It’s a 10 hour flight from my home in Hawaii to Indy; I wouldn’t mind the West Coast at all. 🏝

I'm sure good business people could negotiate with the indoor facilities, especially once the facility managers find out that this could be a recurring thing.

I'm sure the universities in the state could use some more $$.

I dunno, probably something that has already been explored.

Costs because if there are no corps due to money the. You don't have to worry about other things. They need to figure out a better touring model that saves groups money which can lower costs for members. The activity has become who can afford it vs who wants to do it. Also, we are seeing the impact of heat in the south postponing or cancelling shows. I think they may need less shows with more groups in bigger stadiums. That way groups can do less traveling to save some transportation costs. 

My former MM could’ve written this…

As a part-time, online trained professional, I can't look at a Llama and deduce the cause of abnormal behavior.  Therapy takes months, sometimes years, to unravel the complex psyche of the Llama.

However, a colleague of mine is a Llama Whisperer.  He would need to be close to the animal to sense its aura, in order to determine what is causing it angst.

So you can't provide services over FloLlama in either high cam or multi cam?

This is not just for 2023 but how about maybe every 5 years having finals week somewhere else other than Indy. It was that way for the majority of DCI existence. No reason why Indy is set in stone.

This is a great idea, but not many indoor arenas. Sadly Nashville would be out, which sucks.
