Old Corps Guy Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Just now, IllianaLancerContra said: Ok re stands; point of order that if you are driving I-85 from W-S, in Richmond turn east on I-64 & Williamsburg is about an hour. Closer than Annapolis. And if you go another 45 min there is Old Dominion & Christopher Newport. And in Richmond there is U of Richmond. Plus some big HS stadiums. It wouldn’t bother me to have a show within an hour or two vs 4-5 hrs to Annapolis The follow-on of travel is also in play. The next run would be up to Philly and Allentown. This particular show is when I hosted corps over the years. I am hopeful the schools I worked with can still support hosting since I retired (if you can retire as a volunteer) right before COVID.

The distance between W-S & Allentown is constant. The question is where & how far off the direct route you veer for a show, Annapolis or otherwise is the question. In 1999 DCI show was at Garfield HS in Prince William Co VA - less than mile off I-95. SCV & Madison were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaleefree Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It would be cool if they could move it to SeaGull Stadiumin Salisbury only a little more than an hour from Annapolis and easy access to Philly from there. I am not sure if the stadium is big enough as it was designed primarily for lacrosse I donated a lot of money (for me ) to building this, so I have to promote it every chance I get. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice but on DelMarVa peninsula; if W&M is too out of the way this is worse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaleefree Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The DCI show and a practice day are still listed on the stadium schedule. I hope that is is something legit happening there that day and not changed for something that DCI had any control over. • 28th (Sunday) – Farragut Farmers Market (9 AM – 1 PM) • 29th (Monday) – DCI Band Practice Day (All Day) • 30th (Tuesday) – DCI Band Competition (All Day) August 2024 • 2nd (Friday) – Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast (5 PM – 8 PM) • 4 th (Sunday) – Farragut Farmers Market (9 AM – 1 PM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been thru there on a summer travel day (thank goodness). Brother in laws family lived near there (Easton) for couple of years. No idea of available housing or practice facilities.

kevingamin Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 2 hours ago, Old Corps Guy said: There are a few stadiums as possibilities. University of MD has a turf field and hosted finals in 2000 may be an option. Towson University is also a turf field in Baltimore. Both NFL stadiums nearby are grass and I doubt DCI would go there. U of MD and Towson have also hosted US Bands regionals (the two US Bands shows I've announced, in fact), so they are familiar with hosting marching arts shows and could handle a DCI show.

The show in Glassboro at Rowan Univ was also refunded due to emergency field turf replacement. I was refunded this week for that. Two shows in the same week, days apart, now looking for a new home. It’s too bad about Glassboro. Traffic getting to the stadium was a bit tough due to rush hour and red lights, but the ample parking was great and it was a great facility.

KVG_DC Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Boo. I loved going to that stadium. Although if they tap College Park, its even closer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
