Newsday Marching Band Festival not at Hofstra this year
Does anybody have any insight on why the Newsday Marching Band Festival is being held at Mitchell Field this year and not Hofstra like it always has been? I hope it is just a one-year situation and they will be back since it is great for the university to get a huge crowd like this for three days. I can't imagine what the conflict could be with the stadium but id anybody knows please post on here.

Maybe rent is cheaper at Mitchell field than at Shuart Stadium.

It is a big tradition to hold it at Hofstra though so I'm thinking it is a facilities issue. If anybody has any insight please post.

When is the festival? Could it conflict with a Cosmos soccer game?

October 14, 15, and 16th. No conflict there. I still have to imagine it's a cost/ insurance thing (Hofstra requires a lot of insurance. County might not).
