Hope they're correct... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen anything like that. oh yes before prelims. it worked. for 86 i don't think even God snapping his fingers would work. so much came down so fast after prelims, the creek flooded for the first i ever remember seeing, tho not on 2018 levels when it was a monsoon for 5/6 hours straight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all corps were recorded at prelims as camera crew worried about rain in the equipment. CorpsVets performance lost sound halfway thru. One corps (forget who) wasn’t recorded at Prelims and missed Finals. So they were recorded after Alumni show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was Music City Legend. they performed at the alumni show as a bonus. the luxury box area was still under construction....the walls werent up between suites, no glass leading to the seats...heck no seats....it was a wind tunnel. Lakeshoremen were drowned out by wind and rain. Couldn't hear them. Some DCP owner guy got me access to that level, and when they took the break to follow radar i should have been smart and headed to the hotel, but noooooo......but the field judges came up and one said flat out "#### this". Gil Silva's phone exploding with directors saying "why are we doing this?" i've been dumb enough to sit in rain a lot of times...87 DCA among the worst before this...but that was the worst. at Allentown in 18 i was ready to bail, but my wife was so desperate to hear SCV's mellos in person she insisted we stick it out.Luckily DCI made the smart decision for us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West coast winters are wet and west coast summers are dry. So, unless DCI is going to start a winter tour, the west coast would still be the best set of sites purely from a weather standpoint.
