Proud of my son winning I&E for percussion duo for the second year in a row :) Here is last year's warm up before heading to the venue... https://youtu.be/SArrqnrb0xw

We allowed handicap parking in the VIP area very early and all day due to the few actual marked spots filling up quickly.

And if I knew what you looked like, I would have said Hi! I was tasked with being the bad guy working the VIP lot from 2-6. :)

There was a WS shirt table, but it wasn't quite as flashy as the other tables around it.

All I know is the bunch of us in the back of the field had a collective, wide-eyed "WHAAAAT?" When they announced 3rd place.

My phone was being stupid and didn't record the actual I&E performance. I did get this rehearsal run right before we left to go over to the competition. Richie Frantzman and Eric Carr 2014 DCA I&E: http://youtu.be/SArrqnrb0xw

Proud of my son Richie Frantzman with Eric Carr winning Percussion Duo!

I'm predicting a full Porta-pot at ML Fields.

Bush starts out the show with the battery having a few different things going on with their uniforms compared to the brass. It's a change that is part of the show, and the trick is to see when they lose the added elements and look like the rest of the corps. :)

I swear I looked over in the DCI forums, lol. Moves a bit faster over there, I guess.

Now the Chester thread after a moment of stupidity. :)

I wasn't there for Bush's slog through 2011, but did go through 2012. The only reason we've been doing so well the past two years is the fact that we fought through it. 2012 set up the rebuilding process. Every obstacle and crisis was dealt with as it came and we just knew we would come out ok on the other side.Every possible means to keep the corps on the field helps set up the following season.

There is a 15yr old(yes 15!) that marched Tuba at Bush the past 2 years(after self teaching himself the basics in 4 months ) that is in the Phantom Tuba line this year.

My son's band director once corrected me on something similar. It should be the Inaugural Drum Corps Invitational, not 1st Annual...
