Anyone have comments about the November show that they put on? I've seen the show in Seattle and a practice in Pensacoula. Trying to decide if this November show is worth a weekend stay at the Hilton Pensacoula Beach

No such thing as a boring Blues show.

I'll be there with the kiddo and will probably stay at the Holiday Inn on the beach

I'm thinking about going to a practice on Wednesday in Pensacola, since I'll already be in orange beach

The July show is hot as frick. I would definitely watch the practice as the actual show usually has the beach packed several hours prior. Last time I went, they didn't let anyone in the water during the performances.

i'll give you the best vantage point to watch them. My folks used to ive at the Caribe in Orange Beach and I found this awesome spot one day.

Park here drop the tailgate or throw some chairs down at the waters edge and enjoy the show. I've seen them flying 10' off the water here in formation. Way closer to the action here than if you actually go onto the base. This is a public spot as well.

Cant say I've seen a pass that low but they are known to fly well under their normal limits when on the water and at home.

We go to the July show every year and watch from the boat in the bay. There is a safety zone set up on the gulf side and the water is closed during the show, the bayside is open everywhere.

Thanks. I'd like to get some decent shots with my camera. If I get any, I'll post them here

I saw them in Meridian way back in the day. Probably early 90s. Kids love it. Saw some practices when we were staying in Perdido several years ago. I'd go that route if I were you.

Went to the Homecoming Show 2015. It's not on the beach its at Naval Base on the west side of Pensacola. Can not see show from the beach. Did the VIP thing including what they called food and seating. Show was great but would not do VIP bring your own chairs and sit next to it. It's free vs $50. Leave early to get there and enjoy. Google BlueAngles and check out my info.
