Cainan Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 According to several websites I have just checked, the AQI (Air Quality Index) currently ranks Detroit as having the 4th worst air quality in the world RIGHT NOW. Chicago is currently number 2 and Minneapolis is 5. Three of the top 5 worst AQI scores WORLDWIDE are currently all in the upper Midwest. I mean we are talking air quality only marginally better than Delhi India. If DCI GENUINELY stands for the safety of the performers and audiences first and foremost, there is NO WAY that this show can be allowed to continue. ANY other call would be reckless and irresponsible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this evil smoke cloud hit NY a few weeks ago the news was saying that constant exposure to the air was like smoking 5/6 cigarettes in a day, which — having been something of a smokestack myself, back in the day — is the kind of thing the body can recover from if it’s an isolated period like this. That said, asthmatics or other concerned/vulnerable members should and no doubt will be allowed, by their respective corps, to sit this one out. Or at least I’d hope so  And I agree with the above comment that there’s a difference between one day of exposure versus multiple days of rehearsal in these conditions and then further exposure, and that’s a calculation each corps can probably be trusted to make on its own. Personally I’d prefer for corps to not have to decide and for the show to be cancelled altogether, if anything. Edited June 28, 2023 by saxfreq1128 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those with asthma (or other health issues) could have a difficult time with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
