The show never happened. Huge thunderstorms in the area 'just before' show was about to begin. Paper was flying "UP" to the sky. Drive back to the Base {Offutt Air Force Base} just south of Omaha was not very enjoyable. Ugh! USAF was going to send me to Offutt after my first duty station. Luckily I talked them into sending me to grad school where I was currently stationed and saved them the expense of a move. Old USAF saying about SAC assignment -- once you get on it, you never get Offutt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that DCI can at least give a credit for a canceled show for future shows, but I don't know. I don't thing DCI will get a refund for stadium contracts for rain outs but again I could be wrong. Probably not a refund but if they're smart they have an insurance policy in case of a rainout so DCI wouldn't be "out of pocket." Usually there's a clause about a payout if there's x inches of rain at a certain time at the nearest airport (where they can use the impartial NWS measurements.)

CrownBariDad Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 At least I bought event insurance with the tix. Don't know how much it will cover or when it kicks in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at weather for tomorrow at Winston-Salem. Doesn’t look very promising. Could easily have no Corps perform either day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew into Eppley Airfield (Omaha Airport) right as Tornado alarms were going off in the area. We went from the aircraft to tornado shelters in the airport. Driving to the Base afterwards ... huge street signs on the highway RT. 75 were knocked over. Also remember the tornado drills each spring (April).

Tomorrow's line up is even better than tonight's. + perhaps even more important ... the Corps miss another chance for head-on-head competition & judges' feedback ... especially with DCI Finals two (2) weeks out from this evening.
