It’s been a while since I’ve posted…..driving from Indianapolis to St. Louis to Salina, Kansas to Boulder, Colorado….left me with little time to post and a sore driving leg….let me catch you up to speed with some realizations from across this great nation!
Realization - With very little knowledge of this phenomenon, I entered a world I simply was not prepared for….the world of DCI (Drum Corps International). Friends, family, and avid hitheroadjeffandmike readers…..let me break this down for you. Picture it….Lucas Oil Stadium, the home of the Indianapolis Colts, packed with thousands of screaming fans decked out in their favorite teams’ attire….but….these fans are not screaming for Mr. Peyton Manning…oh no…they are cheering for trumpet solos and effeminate color guard boys who are breaking the hearts of 19 year old fat girls everywhere. Seriously, I can’t describe to you the scene…here’s the worst part…I’m totally hooked. I want to take off next summer and travel the country following my DCI favs…..the Cavaliers, Santa Clara Vanguard, the Phantom Regiment….count me in! I mean…when the Madison Scouts took their place on the field, the drunk guy behind me was screaming… “Give us that f-ing famous wall of sound!” …can’t beat it.
