You're welcome.rebu wrote:Thank you, Phantom Phan. Somebody finally got it right.
I gave the issue further thought last night and recalled another point: during the mid-60s the San Diego Padres were still a minor-league, Pacific Coast League team. One of the reasons they became a pro team (in 1969, if I recall correctly) is because they had an already built stadium available for them to use.

Aaah once again I've missed more that needs to be read...Super 3 Package tickets go on sale Thursday...single show tickets go on sale on September 9. That is a long ways away, and who knows if they're be any really good seats left by then...oh well, at least I won't be paying more for extra shows I don't feel like seeing that week...I would like to enjoy what's in Denver before I see drum corps.
5 weeks until I can get my tickets then, I guess...

Quick question
Just wondering, since championships are in Denver next year would the DCI show schedule be any different? Traditionally DCI shows move towards the east since that where champs were, but now will the shows move westward? Getting to the point, it would just seem odd to have all the corps travel from Allentown, the final DCI regional, and then travel to Denver.

Re: Quick question
The location of Finals has nothing at all to do with who the previous year's champion was. Otherwise we would've had a west coast finals already, since the Blue Devils, Kingsmen, and Vanguard owned DCI until the mid-80s.mRdJhay wrote:Just wondering, since championships are in Denver next year would the DCI show schedule be any different?

yeah, the show schedule is going to be way different. so what I've heard from my friend who's director for a corps down here, and apparently this comes straight from Dan Acheson's mouth, is that they're holding finals a week earlier (and they are, it's traditionally on the second weekend). There are two reasons, one is that that's the only time they could get mile high because the Bronco's need their field free after that, the second being that after nats -- I think?? -- they're planning on having some of the corps do an exhibition tour of the west coast.
...it boggles my mind... but...
it boggles my mind, but, so, the way it's supposed to work is that they're going to be checking the turn out for these west coast shows, and use them to guage support for, and the feasibility of, a California championships.
I heard all this in the spring, so I'm not sure if it's still their plan or what, but that's what I've heard.

Re: Quick question
Oopps, let me clarify myself quickly. By champs I meant championships, not champions. I was commenting on how the regionals move to the east since championships are generally on that side of the US.
