A staff member's wife drove from out of state, picked up the replacement board for the corps and met them in Buffalo, I think, to deliver the new one pretty much just in time for their next show. i have been to many shows in Allentown...that was the most intense rain ever, worse than 99 DCA finals, which was part of a hurricane...87 just rained all day. 86 was bad and the creek flooded, but nothing like 18. and my wife would have sat out in it to hear SCV's mellos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWW11 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I remember those Allentown days! I would leave home at 6AM and return home after midnight, burnt to a crisp. I remember having to straddle a tree on the huge hill to get some shade and keep from sliding down the hill during prelims! I believe Allentown instituted a noise ordinance, which was part of the reason the show was split in two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Here's to hoping we get these shows. I dunno about up there but in DC it poured with heavy lightning a lot from evening and in the night. FYI folks, if you didn't get this drilled into your heads as kids, don't use trees for cover if there's lightning. 4 people found this out the hard way yesterday in Lafayette Park. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They let you bring coolers in the stands back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Move this show to the Syracuse RCA Dome. Beautiful stadium, bigger airport, no weather worries. Use Allentown for the Cadets Wednesday night show, always held two nights before the Allentown weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
