But, this is pretty much the price we all have to pay for these shortened tours nowadays. Just glad that the activity is finding ways to stay alive. When you include World, Open and DCA New England had 7 shows last year. Now only 2 (6/28 Ct. and 8/1 Ma.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a week after he got his license. I wasn’t mad. I was just glad they were safe. I couldn’t say much because I crashed my Dad’s car into a guard rail because I didn’t realize that overpasses freeze over first. Brother tried to widen the drive-through at Taco Bell once. I got blame until I pointed out I didn’t have car previous evening. Edited November 17, 2023 by IllianaLancerContra Speling 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Reading show seems to have that option. in the NE the problem is where the DCI World class corps need to be and when, and also the all age corps keeping costs down. i believe there's one in Brockport NY after Allentown as well. there is some OC corps in the all age shows but also...fewer all age corps than 10 years ago and weekday options aren't the easiest thing for an all age corps to pop up. And....for an all age host...there's enough corps to fill the show without breaking the bank and adding WC corps as most of those venues aren't that big. imagine the logistics at Clifton when you add 5 Wc corps??? even Bucs 2nd show if at Exeter TWp is a challenge as the stadium is in the middle of a neighborhood and the parking lot is filled early and people are taking over the neighborhood streets to park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 A few shows do have combined DCI World/Open/All age line-ups. Rochester has a 10 corps line-up. One issue is that the All-age corps are limited to weekend only shows, so they cannot be included in weeknight ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve heard, it’s the coolest drum corps experience there is. I guess I should probably go sooner rather than later. You know, just in case…😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem to make sense to have two Boston area shows 4th of July weekend, with corps having the opportunity to march the Bristol parade--the best 4th of July parade in the country. Yes, it looks like DCI axed the Lynn and Quincy shows. In 2023, Cadets marched in both the Bristol and Wakefield 4th parades, and the Connecticut Hurricanes were in the Wakefield parade. I can't remember if Spartans or BAC appeared in these parades as well. Edited November 17, 2023 by ykw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see where in Reading this show will be. Wilson? Exeter? I know it won't be Muhlenberg because that school has a grass field.
