Dansize Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 The concourse at the Alamodome is tough during intermission when everything is wide open. The first year I went to the show there (5-7 years ago), the dome was renovating much of the concession area on the concourse and reduced the width by at least half with plywood walls the length of the building. Can't say I look forward to that again, but the lineup still points me there. Like others, I'm hoping that the lineups for each show are still incomplete as I find it odd that SCV is not doing the first week southern California leg of the tour. Hopefully this is not a negotiated absence due to cost concerns. But similarly, Troopers are not currently on the Ogden show lineup either, a show that is relatively close to their home base. I've tried to check back a few times today to see if there are updates, but it appears that the DCI site is crashed at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanInChicago Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 As the DCI site is down, I found the full summer tour on FloMarching - News. Dates are listed, but not days. I tried to look at the schedule first before reading any reactions. But somewhere a “no shows in Florida again” popped up. Likely before I reached the Flo site. Thrilled to see the Troopers heading to the Midwest for several early season shows. Gobble gobble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lineup is not as robust as the previous aforementioned Tour Premiers. I am not at all thrilled with this tour. I used to go to several early tour events. I may not see anything this year until just before Finals. Edited November 24, 2022 by Jurassic Lancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanInChicago Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Plainfield, Michigan hosted DCI many, many years ago - so I’ll count that as a possibility for the Western Michigan show. Kalamazoo has also hosted several times. The stadium is near the town’s Amtrak station. Battle Creek is central/east, so not likely. In the stands a kajillion years ago, I remember baking in the evening sun at one Battle Creek show. Ypsilanti is too east to be west. Enjoying the mystery. No matter the outcome, it will be near a Tim Hortons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
