Overcast, real cloudy, not a weather man, but I would say maybe 40% chance of rain just looking at the clouds. Darn it's humid, well at least to this Cali Kid lol. Looks pretty clear on Flo and the stadium and field look NICE!! Hope the clear weather holds up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the drive over to Ivanhoe’s for ice cream. The food is meh but the ice cream is legend. https://ivanhoes.info We have one here about 15 minutes from the house.

Lance Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I like Gold's show better than most of the top 12 in World Class 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I am VERY late to this... Happy to see that Vanguard Cadets and BDB are back at open class finals after making the decision in 2019 to not head that far east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Spoiler alert: it’s nothing. They only get paid for WC shows, which are discouraged and usually not allowed to attend by DCI, unless the show host, usually an OC corps itself, can come up with payments for the other corps.) And then throw in a fanbase that largely ignores them but then mocks them for not doing the same full-out tours the WC corps are being paid to do with MUCH less resources (unless you’re a feeder corps for one of the giants). These performers deserve a much larger audience, and hardcore DCI fans should be ashamed they aren’t providing them with one. And don’t even get me started on the email I *still* have in my mailbox from FloMarching several years ago telling me they planned to expand to open class shows based on how well prelims/finals were watched. Still salty about that because despite a large audience, they never followed through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I taught in it for many years, helped craft a business plan and fundraisers, and have been in it since it was 2/3. I’m aware of when they merged 2/3, the “deal” they were told to accept. Trust me, there’s nothing you can tell me about open I don’t already know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because for 20+ years now, usually the closest OC show to me is 2+ hours away on a weeknight. not conducive to getting out to support them. I know Sheffield is a regular stop, but it's 4 hours away, and there's more deer and elk in the county than humans. and many years thats the closest one to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
