They're bonuses, basically. They tend to do longer swings away from home, so instead of flying mid-week practices at their home base like the US teams do, they pick spots to go in between their weekend shows. I guess they figure that if they're going to fly a routine, they might as well do the narration and stuff so they look for places willing to set up a small event so they can have a crowd. It's a win-win.BradleeG102896 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 9:17 pm Just a question out of curiosity, but why the Snowbirds have an affection doing mid week shows in some of the strangest cities in the USA? Not that it’s a bad thing, I just don’t see what they gain by doing that.
One of the awesome things about the team is that they can more easily stage from smaller venues, and their mid-week shows are a great chance to hit smaller communities (especially towns in Canada) that would not support a full weekend show but are thrilled to see the team perform. It helps them spread their outreach a lot more than just hitting major cities.
