I feel like last year was special just cuz it was the year after covid and they weren't sure how many people would want to go to theaters. Now with things pretty much back to normal, who knows. Flo is streaming the whole show, just not the talking heads in-between corps, just like last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkrepps Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Wow, all this talk about crowds in the movie theatre. I've been to 3 of these BLL events and the theatre is always empty where I am. But then, the broadcast is at a theatre in the boonies of CT. Also, getting someone to go with is always hard: "The movies, sure! What are you going to see?" "So it's marching band...for how long...4 hours?" "Oh wait...I forgot...I'm busy that night. I'm sorry." I mean, even my DCI alumnus son probably won't go. He's moved on to marriage, family, work, and all that other stuff lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any commentary at all? Last year Flo started out as usual and then showed the Big, Loud, & Live production identical to the theater show including Rondinaro and company. I went to the theater and my brother watched on Flo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll watch the flo broadcast instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photographer Jim Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 My wife and I will be going to a theater in Pleasant Hill California, which is right next to Concord. When I went online to reserve my seats, it showed the theater was nearly full. Being so close to Concord. There should be a large BD crowd. Looking forward to it. I go to the theater show every year, including years, when I have been out of town and had to seek out a theater near where I was. It’s always a great evening. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard about it but don’t know much about it. Normally we watch the stream on Flo at home where I can crank up the sound. Can you tell me more; I would consider it.

I am fortunate to be going to Finals so I have never been to the viewing party and it sounds very fun but yeah, I would probably end up staying at home and watching on Flo too. It would be a bit more of a drive for me than for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
