A lot of changes and improvement from the 1st to to 2nd and I'm sure there is more to come. This is his age-out year and 1st year with BD, which was his dream. During our years watching the activity I have never been a big fan of BD shows at the start of the season, but they always grow on me and I'm a fan by the end. My take so far this year is the same, but I'm sure it will grow on me much faster this year with parental bias 😀. I think my son had pretty much decided last year to finish his drum corps journey with his prior corps, but as they were about to take the field at Indy last year for their final performance, a staffer and BD vet said in his ear "Go to Blue Devils, you can do it." and here we are. While I of course hope they can win this year, I just hope they have a great season and people enjoy their show and are on their feet at the end. That's what it has all been about for my son, but I'm sure a medal around his neck at the end would be the perfect ending for him. It's been a lot of fun and we will miss it, but the next couple months are gonna be great!!! Mine is first year with BD and an age-out as well. She's been very happy with how things have been going so far. I'll be watching on Flo as much as I can until I can see them at Night Beat. Hope there will be a few sneak peek videos on FB along the way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As rightfully proud as each of you must be, I don't think that will be a problem. 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndakay27 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Mine was very excited to get a U Wyoming shirt because they are 'really cool.' I think the U Wyo experience was good for all of them. I believe it was great for corps bonding to all be in the same dorm vs spread across the Concord area. Food was included and easy to get to. The dining staff made the corps cupcakes with the BD graphic on them yesterday to say goodbye. I think everything went well for the corps and the university. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndakay27 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 If anyone finds video tonight of any part of the show, please send it on. I know there are props and my daughter (bass drum) is on one. She said no uniforms tonight though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just informed that the deadline for having a kid who’d be able to join a corps and send me secret preseason clips was 20 years ago — so I’m depending on you all, my honorary kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
