I wanted to make sure that both boys could see my favorite corps (The Santa Clara Vanguard) play for their first real drum corps experience. So for this years vacation (aka hanging with the California family) I made sure that it happened during the big DCI West show. I can’t wait to see their reactions (or Zoe’s reaction since it’ll be her first show also). I’m going to make sure they get some nice souvenirs as well as an up close and personal view of the parking lot experience (watching the drumlines warmup)

For those who have no idea what Drum Corps is (go see a show!) here’s a parking lot video from the 2007 season (go SCV!!)

They’ll get to see:

• The Santa Clara Vanguard
• The Concord Blue Devils
• Phantom Regiment

as well as many more corps!

Also a quick shoutout to my good friend (and former Cascade) Tim who’s in SCV as well as Stephanie LaRue who’s also a fellow Cascade who made the change down to SCV. Good luck this year folks!

Well that’s it for now. Time to get my butt in gear and head out to California for the holiday weekend.

So I’m still on tour and things have been moving so quickly I’m not sure how I managed to type this into my phone and email it off to be published. My initial goals of taking lots of pictures and working on a few projects has been sidelined by an amazing lack of free time.

Enough complaining though. In the 4 weeks almost since I last posted the corps has changed massive swatches of the show and cleaned technical mistakes galore. It’s really starting to come together and our success score wise is starting to gain momentum. The way that everyone is more and more of a family unit now is great. I’ve made new friends and run into old friends on tour so far which is really what this activity is all about at the end of the day.

Well that’s enough of a post for now since I’m trying to finish watching the Stargate premieres sent to me by the always amazing Amanda (thank you and you still Rock!) in a much needed care package from home. Back to doing this crazy driving thing and maybe actually taking some pictures now and again.
