KVG_DC Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I get the impression the Cavies' decision is predicated on the impact of the past several days and seeing the impact on their members of prolonged exposure. Other corps may not have been out in it as much and making other decisions. See ya on the next stop Cavies! Thanks for looking out for your members. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having volunteered with them on tour for 4 tours, their medical staff isn’t going to get anywhere close to a risk since they’ve been in it for several days. I also have to believe that after the 2022 COVID tornado that ravaged them they just don’t want to start the season with an unnecessary risk. Seasons are marathons… not sprints. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the Covidnado last year and the Norovirus year...Cavies have had a fair bit of experience being snakebit on tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Hattiesburg, MS and several ( 7-8) members simultaneously came down with a stomach bug. They were quarantined immediately . Busses scrubbed too to bottom. IIRC, after “bus scrubbing”, the corps canceled rehearsal and sent healthy members to do ALL their laundry. Cavaliers med staff is top notch. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to say — wasn’t there a stomach bug year or somesuch in addition to noro. Poor Cavies can’t catch a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutasaurus Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) My question is: Do the Cavaliers collect appearance fees for bowing out tonight? I respect the corps’ decision to not compete tonight out of an abundance of caution but the other competitors are there as promised to make the show happen.

Appearance fees are forfeited for bowing out of a show. Sponsor show retains it for themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would depend on contract language. An equally interesting question is if DCI has a threshold for AQI like they do temperature, lightning, etc. If there’s not one, it’s certainly a grey area. All that said, I’m quite certain appearance fees weren’t driving their decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
