Bands of America

I'll try anything (at least) once. On a quiet weekend, I might go to a dog show, drive a road I have never explored, or just eat at a new restaurant.

This weekend, I am going to attend the Bands of America Grand National Championships in Indianapolis. The event is being held at the new home of Drum Corps International, Lucas Oil Stadium.

I have seen videos of some of the bands, and they rival drum corps in terms of show design. Execution is not in the same league, but I am eager to see how the kids will do.

I will also get a chance to meet up with some of my Mellophone buddies from Star United. Evidently they are having a banquet that weekend.

I may have to crash the party.
