C.Holland Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 2 minutes ago, Tim K said: As I’ve been reading some of the comments and giving them some thought, I would wonder if DCI All Age could be split over two days. Semi’s on Friday does not begin until 1 PM. Why not have the All Age prelims on Friday morning? SoundSport and DrumLine Battle would still have Saturday morning. All Age finals would be Saturday afternoon. It would be a tight schedule, but it wouldn’t split the audience. that would defeat the purpose of all-age. weekend only. you can't get everyone there for fri. so you have to put it all on saturday.

So going to open class is a great feat, and also an awful punishment. You now have expectations to field a longer show, do some minimal touring, and fund it all yourself. yes that's right. welcome to Open Class, now go Fund Yourself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past year and in 2019, Spartans’ encore was at semi’s not finals. I believe SCVC also had an encore at semi’s in 2022 though they could have performed prior to finals. I was outside at the time waiting to get in so I wouldn’t know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the 2024 show is "Saturday only"... there's still the travel involved to get there. The corps won't be pulling into town Saturday AM and heading right to the stadium.

LOL Then we had the Prelims Sunday morning/early afternoon and Finals that night. Better corps had earlier times and had time to recover before finals. “On the bubble” corps who were on late and made Finals had left their better show at Prelims. 🥵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
