Re: Why Indy?

The logistics of doing 'Nationals" at Indy makes sense ..central site, lower costs, can be made a part of their "touring" schedule.

Note too, that Indiana is a real hotbed of marching bands .. so their attendance at DCI is a really big deal.

Re: Why Indy?

I'm sure it was purely business. I know the consistency is nice, but wasn't it more exciting to look forward to seeing a new city every year for nationals? Many of us remember what year a particular nationals was by which city it was in.

Re: Why Indy?

I'd like to see it on the West Coast once and a while. Several years ago there was a show at Stanford that had half the DCI World Class corps. Another one was taking place near Fresno the same night with the others. This was of course the weekend before the finals in Pasadena.
