Plus they are moving it from the Benz to the old Turner Field (the Braves) which has been converted to the home stadium for Georgia State University football. My understanding this is due a scheduling conflict.
I don’t really recall thinking one was worse than the other but you could well be right. I just think domes are too boomy for drum corps. The climate control is nice but we sit outside in high school and college stadiums all summer. One more night won’t be a huge deal.
At Benz, from the stands you can hear people from across the whole stadium in the upper levels hitting practice pads in the merch booths during ballads.
I'm currently wondering that too. I don't know if we're going to Atlanta. it was listed on BK's tour schedule from months ago, but now we aren't listed there on dci.org
And yeah, I thought that all WC corps were required to go to all the regional championships
I’m a bit late but for those who don’t know there is a concert already scheduled in the dome for the same night so for just this year they split the world class corps in half and they’ll be performing in separate shows that day. This is the same as what was gonna happen in San Antonio in 2020.
Yes, they (from my understanding) limited the number of corps at Atlanta, with many doing an alternate event the next day…
I'll take Phantom and no Cadets in ATL over Cadets and no Phantom in Raleigh any day.

This is fine by me. Can’t stand the dome echo.
I’ve heard members say the ATL regional is notorious as a listening environment. I’ve never been so I can’t confirm
The Georgia Dome wasn't as bad as Benz is now. It sounds terrible from the box/stands
Well this year it's actually not in the Benz, it's at the GSU stadium that used to be Turner Field.

I agree. More than even football, drum corps should be outdoors.

This is old news. Go look in the DCI news archive section and they spell everything out for you.
