Trumpet2 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I also witnessed a corps staff member shove his way past a man to get to where the corps staff stands and hold his badge up and say “you see this buddy?! You know what this means?” I get that they need to get to where they can watch the show, but shoving people is not the way to do it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that would have ended well if he’d pushed the BBMF Marine and waved his badge at him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbandguy Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Not trying to excuse any rude corps staff, but they too had to fight their way to section 140 due to the spectators that were standing behind section 141. The corps were limited to 10 staff members. There were a few times I observed extra staff members bring told they had to leave...and I'm thinking what about the 50 people standing behind 139 and the 50 behind 141. Section 140 is also a handicap area with several in wheelchairs. They had a hell of a time getting in and out. I can only imagine what would have happened if a fire safety inspector had shown up...actually, I think I know. DCI and LOS have a lot to discuss this off season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never liked that people have been allowed to stand up there and it’s gone on for years. Heaven help us if we had to get out of there quickly.

Will pass by to the other stands. we buy lots of merch.. we're old guys ..fans attending and going to shows for over 40 years. I would probably spend my money elsewhere....

I'd have been tempted to call the fire safety inspector and tip them off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
