Yes, DCI in this case is Drum Corps Int'l. The show's in Bristol, RI, about midway between Providence and Newport. 7 pm on 7/3. Here's the page I used to find the event: http://www.dci.org/schedule/calendar...ate=06/01/2012

And here's the web site for the show: http://www.july4thbristolri.com/summermusicpreview.htm

Thanks for the advice about the Wellington station parking. I had looked at at that as an option, but the MBTA site for the station says parking availability is "< 1%" on weekdays. On weekends and overnight it says only the "back lot" is open. It could be a better option than two separate rentals and a useless round trip to the airport if I could be certain I'd find a parking spot (most likely either about 9 am or about 7/8 pm on Sunday depending on whether Sunday is the day we go to the air show in Portsmouth). Do you know anything about the reliability of parking availability at Wellington station on a Sunday?
