Terri Schehr Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) 14 minutes ago, TOC said: So, you use a rental only twice, travel probably less than 60 miles (?), and pay a good rate. Do any of the hotels offer airport pick-up service? I'd find a hotel close to my hotel and use them. Never been asked if I had a reservation with the hotel. If a driver did, I'd say I'm going to make one when we get there. Hopefully you and Jim haven't had bad luck with the Uber's of the world. We fly into Cincinnati on Sunday of finals week, see the show there, and go to Indy on Wednesday. We use the car a lot in Cincinnati. We’ve had really great Uber drivers in Indy.

Hope and I Uber/Lyft a lot and have never had an issue — except they like us too much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I usually stay at the Fairfield Marriott. There are usually family members from Crossmen and Colts. I’m not sure why that’s the case. Often you see the same faces year after year. Saturday morning breakfast can be interesting. In the past kids who marched in corps that did not make finals have joined their families and you hear a bit about the season. I usually book as soon in early September or as soon as I can. It’s about $100 cheaper when I do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Uber to get to and from the airport and for a side trip to the Indiana State Fair on the Wednesday of finals week. They haven’t inducted me in the Hall of Fame yet so I have the night free.🙂 The Uber drivers seem to love the folks who attend DCI and BOA. We must be good tippers. We’re probably the only sober riders they get on a late Saturday night or any time they go to Lucas Oil. They may not know the difference between DCI and BOA, to them we’re all the band people, but they do like us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it takes you two almost a year to get your hearing back before the next Finals Week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta delayed my flight last year, but I usually fly with them thru ATL. Hoping that was just a 'one off' last summer as there were so many flight issues with all carriers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right? There was one woman who liked us so much, she came practically every time she was on duty. I think Indy is boring but the people are nice.

Jim has had pretty bad hearing loss. Not from drum corps but from being around jet engines when he was in the Marine Corps. I had my hearing checked in Illinois before we moved and I’ve had some hearing loss in my left ear. So row four may be a little better. It all goes to hell after 65. Hahaha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
