Probably no money to move them, so my guess is they get enough hours to
keep current and that's it.

#1 Looks like every show has been cancelled.
#2 The Blue Angels have a page which lists all the info about them
including a list of the scheduled appearances which got cancelled
by the budget clip.
I (a425couple) see:
http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/show/
(all, appear cancelled ((had been generally one a week)) )
Meanwhile, I (a425) find this very relevant:

There's no doubt President Obama is using the so-called Washington Monument
maneuver in the fight with Republicans over sequestration budget cuts. It's
a time-honored tactic of bureaucratic warfare: When faced with cuts, pick
the best-known and most revered symbol of government and threaten to shut it
down. Close the Washington Monument and say, "See? This is what happens when
you cut the budget." Meanwhile, all sorts of other eminently cuttable
government expenditures go untouched.
So now Obama is warning of drastic cuts in food safety, air traffic control,
police and fire protection -- in all sorts of services that will allegedly
be slashed if the rate of growth of some parts of the federal budget is
slowed.
But perhaps the biggest example of the Washington Monument maneuver is
coming from the Defense Department, where it goes by another name. Over many
decades of defense budget battles, the Pentagon has often used a tactic
known as a "gold watch." It means to answer a budget cut proposal by
selecting for elimination a program so important and valued -- a gold
watch -- that Pentagon chiefs know political leaders will restore funding
rather than go through with the cut.
So now, with sequestration approaching, the Pentagon has announced that the
possibility of budget cuts has forced the Navy to delay deployment of the
carrier USS Harry S. Truman to the Persian Gulf. With tensions with Iran as
high as they've ever been, that would leave the U.S. with just one carrier,
instead of the preferred two, in that deeply troubled region.
"Already, the threat of these cuts has forced the Navy to delay an aircraft
carrier that was supposed to deploy to the Persian Gulf," Obama said at a
White House appearance on Tuesday, in case anyone missed the news.
Some military analysts were immediately suspicious. "A total gold watch,"
said one retired general officer who asked not to be named. Military
commentator and retired Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters called the Navy's move
"ostentatious," comparing it to "Donald Trump claiming he can't afford a
cab."
------ But budget hawks also know that the Pentagon houses some of the most
accomplished bureaucratic infighters in government. And with sequestration
nearly here, they know a gold watch when they see one.
