Keith Hall Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Whatever happened to this show in Buffalo? I thought attendance was great!

Too far off the current tour rut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 22 we stayed at a school real close to Buffalo and the reason I was told was because that they were thinking about bringing the show back in coming years. But I think that idea died down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first year there was no Buffalo show was the same year there was no Rome show. Also the New Jersey shows that were held close to the New York border were not held, so people felt New York fans were being ignored. Given the distance, I’m not sure how many people who attended Buffalo or Rome attended Clifton, NJ or Met Life Stadium, but I’ve made similar lengthy treks to Clifton and Glassboro from Boston, so you never know.

The year DCI came back post covid, they nixed all the NY state shows. Aside from travel, I was under the impression there were covid related guidelines/regulations in the state of NY that prevented corps from successfully holding shows there. They didn't have any NY shows last year either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With fuel costs and it seems now early July start dates even out west I don't see a tour to the Pacific Northwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
